Twitter's Zero-Follower Bug is the off-spring from Make-Anyone-your-Follower Bug

This might be the beginning of a cyber doom's day or the judgement day for the social networking as Twitter's programmers are having a hard time fixing the "make-anyone-your-follower" bug.

The bug discovered earlier and passed on to their friend lists by social networkers was about using a reserved word (which was probably intended originally for an upcoming "invitation" feature to be added to Twitter. The word was simply "accept" when proceeded by a twitter user's handle (for example @skyhan) which would force that user to be added to your follower's list.

I was too late to exploit the bug to triple the list of my followers, as I logged in to my Twitter account, both the list of my followers and those I follow were totally gone!

By the time I tried to use the command-like combination accept @someone as a tweet, I instantly got an internal server error.

I believe Twitter's coders are on the issue and in an attempt to fix unjustly added followers, they deleted the entire follower list of many users (if not all)!

For every rising and shining star, there's a fall all the way down.

Good luck, Twitter!
