==Blizzard Employee Tweet Controversy==
The issue of Blizzard employees mixing business with pleasure on their private twitter accounts came to a head in early January 2012, as [[release date]]-irate fans began complaining about the non-Diablo content coming from the twitter feeds. Zarhym replied to the complaint via a Battle.net forum thread.[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/zarhym-explains-his-recent-diablo-3-tweets]
<blue>If you’re looking to our personal Twitter accounts for any hints of information that might help you ascertain a release date of Diablo III, you’re going to be disappointed.
<br>
I’m assuming you’re referring to my tweet about a “big meeting.” I have several meetings a day and just felt like being silly on my personal feed on a Monday morning. Was it really enlightening or informative? No. Was there ANY indication that meeting had anything to do with Diablo III development or release? No. (Because it didn’t.) Do I sometimes tweet about the weather, cute cats, rocks on the ground, and other random stuff that won’t bring you any closer to your copy of the game? Totally.

Since everything you mentioned in your OP was taken from Twitter, I’m assuming you’re asking that we not use our personal social media accounts to communicate with anyone until our company announces a release date for Diablo III.
<br>
The unfortunate fact is we’re human beings. We use social media to communicate with others about day-to-day affairs, whether or not what we’re saying pertains to our jobs.
<br>
If you want to follow what we’re saying, awesome. But if you feel like any post we make that has anything to do with our careers, yet isn’t breaking news about the status of Diablo III, is just a huge tease or attempt to bait you… well, you’re crazy… and almost as excited for this game as we are. :)</blue>
