Tweet in an infinite loop (Update)

My account was hit by what appears to be a loop in the Twitter system.
I am not sure yet of what has happened, but I am working on it.
Apparently, Google Feedburner or Google Adsense is taking my RSS feed from Twitter and is republishing everything on Twitter.

This is the effect

sorinmustaca Sorin Mustaca
sorinmustaca: sorinmustaca: sorinmustaca: sorinmustaca: sorinmustaca: sorinmustaca… http://goo.gl/fb/gdecu

I have deactivated all services from Google which may interact and I am deleting the strange tweets.

Update:
The problem was solved. The source was Google Adsense which republished the adapted tweets back to Twitter over again.
