Is it possible to reactivate a Twitter account that has been deactivated or deleted?
I just deactived my little sister's account but would like to someday re-activate it using the same email address and username.
How I can do this?

Best Answer
If you deactivate an account the username and email address will not be available for 30 days. After the 30 day period they can be re-used by anyone - none of your twitter history or settings etc will be stored. It will essentially be a new clean account.
Taken from the Twitter Help Center
In a slight contradiction of it's own Help Center, if you have deactivated an account by accident you may be able to restore it by selecting the
Restore my deleted account
option on this form http://support.twitter.com/forms/generalI would have thought that this would only be possible within the 30 day period from the date of deactivation.
