A bug was discovered in Twitter. Anyone can let anyone follow him\/her. Now, Twitter has pull the plug on follow\/unfollow for the time being. So, what you will see is 0 follower and 0 following. I wonder how long will Twitter take to solve this bug.<\/p>\n

As you can see, in the above pic, this person with no following people can get Oprah, ConanOBrien to follow him. Because of this bug, Twitter has stop all follow\/unfollow features.<\/p>\n

By the time you read this, this trick will not work anymore. Anyway, I copied the “instruction” from Gizmodo<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    \n
    \n
  1. Open the Twitter web interface (I haven’t been able to get it to work in the apps I’ve tried)<\/li>\n
  2. Tweet “accept username”, as in “accept oprah”<\/li>\n
  3. Wait a few seconds. You may get a server error, but that means it’s worked.<\/li>\n
  4. Check your followers list<\/li>\n
  5. !!!<\/li>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/ol>\n

    Don’t bother to try it now. Already too late. Anyway, lets wait for Twitter to update the situation. BTW, this is how it looks like now.<\/p>\n
