Twitter, We Have a Problem

By Randy Jensen | Jul 23, 2008

I just logged in to Twitter and noticed something weird. I normally have around 900 followers and I follow around 600 people. Not sure exactly what happened, but this is what it’s showing me now…

Twitter Followers

Anyone else noticing this?

**********UPDATE**********
Turns out it was just Twitter’s new anti-spam bot. There’s a great article on it over at ReadWriteWeb.

    YES! I'm showing zero and zero...
  • i lost a bunch of followers, too, but they came back... except about 3 pages worth. i'm anal about knowing who's following me, so i know exactly who stopped. LOL

    i don't think this was a very good move on Twitter's part. they should pay attention to all the block reports instead.
  • I just checked my page and I got a lot of them back...but I'm still missing several hundred :(

    I totally agree. Do you think it was a bug or they did it on purpose??
  • I have no idea what they were doing actually... If it was to wipe out spammers, I don't think it was well executed. I hope they explain why they did what they did...
