Twitter ghosting accounts?

I have an account with thousand of followers. I used the iOS app "Tweeticide" to clean out old tweets to eliminate 404 links to an old website that I had.

Now when I tweet, the tweet count goes up but the tweets do not show. The home screen for the account shows "*** hasn't tweeted yet"

I am trying to get through to to Twitter's support team but they do not want to respond to me.

Any suggestions?
