is it just me or are we as marketers on the dawn of a 'TWITTER SLAP"?..I was just casually going round twitter and dropped by mike filsaimes profile...and all his stats were set to '0' in terms of followers/following

then checked mines...and all my *follower* count AS WELL as **following** count has been 'reset' to...(as well all know a good strategy to grow twitter following is to follow others in our niche and so on)...but has 'mass following' caught up with us?

or am I just seeing something I shouldn't be...?...but so far am seeing COUNTLESS top marketers twitters being reset including some close successful business associates whom do well with twitter every day...all stats reset....

it can be just a big glitch surely?

What has your twitter following count been resit to? to zero?

Thanks

I have 0 followers too on a new account. I think it had no more than 10 followers - but it was pretty much pure ads and stuff. I wonder if it's really a Twitter slap or something else going on? - off to check my other Twitter accounts

Thanks

I can't remember my login for some - but all that i could access were at 0 and some are SO INNOCENT - it's unlikely to be a Twitter Slap - unless they slap all acounts for one bad apple :;

It's intentional:

Even twitter's own followers are 0: http://twitter.com/twitter

Wow - wouldn't it be interesting if EVERYONE's count was accidentally set back to 0 and they didn't have any way to reset. We'd all be starting at the same spot.

See mashable dot com

Twitter has an embarrassing bug on its hands – one that allows users to make anyone follow them. Mashable reader Ozan Yılmaz emailed us the details this morning, writing “[tweet] accept [username]” then the [username] immediately starts following you.”
We confirmed the issue when we noticed that our main Twitter account is now following lots of new people that we didn’t manually follow on our own. That means that if you choose to exploit this bug, your tweets can show up in anyone’s…

Thanks

Twitter has done a roll back due to a bug that allowed you to force someone to auto follow you.

Details - http://status.twitter.com/post/58721...vered-remedied

It seems everyone's stats are gone to zero, but they're inaccurate because even though it says im following zero people I'm still getting the updates of the ones I'm/was following.

  both my twitter accounts are normal. But I've noticed that Twitter.com has been terribly slow for the past month or so. I'm glad I don't really count on Twitter for my living...
