Twitter wtf?

I'm not a huge fan of twitter, but due to some potential work application I've been playing with it. Set up a new account last night, tweeted once, tried to change my picture (and couldn't) and stopped screwing with it.
A friend calls me today to ask if my twitter account has been hacked. Depending on how you view the twitter page itself it will tell you that I am one of three different people. The accounts is following 20 people I definitely never added and Soulja Boy has apparently become a follower of mine. No new tweets have been made.
When I go to change my password, it either just doesn't work (ltoads the same page and makes no changes) or it tells me:
* Screen name has already been taken
* Email has already been taken
I don't really think the account has been hacked. A. my malware and antivirus are up to date and not reporting anything fishy and B. I haven't had any other suspicious activity or processes. For some reason I suspect that any malware I had that was designed to mess with twitter would also mess with facebook or trillian. Maybe not, I suppose.
I almost wonder if they're having some sort of database problem. I was really surprised I got the twitter name I did, figuring it would have been taken, and I almost wonder if they've screwed up and allowed three people to register the same name or something.
Does anyone have any ideas at all?

I have no idea what is going on, but its not on your end
I very much appreciate this response. :P I HATE twitter, but apparently I'm not allowed to avoid it.
Aw well, then it sounds like you'll just have to wait till twitter fixes itself. If you need to be part of a social network right this moment you could always try facebook or something to satisfy your boss?
I'm trying to picture the type of person who would require you to use twitter, it's scary.
Same person who would assign blackberries to employees who are not subject to overtime pay.

yeah, I don't own a cell phone or a blackberry because I KNOW my boss would use it against me. We actually have a couple company cell phones so I grab one of those If I'm on site.
I know someone who gave any employee who wanted one a "free" blackberry. /admiralackbar.jpg
I am very familiar with blackberries.
Can't she use her power for good? Kick off APlusK.
