Twitter follower count bug causes user pandemonium

Posted by Bradley Wint on 22/07/2011

Twitter users have one again gone on a tweet rage after seeing their Following and Followers count going down to zero.

It seems a Twitter bug has caused accounts to show a zero value for both their following and followers count, resulting in quite a bit of chatter across the network. Even popular pages such as Justin Bieber, Twitter, Engadget, and The Jersey Shore among others reported a sudden drop of followers. Don’t panic though, don’t call the police, because it just seems to be one of Twitter’s usual ups and downs.
