11 May 10 Twitter’s twists and turns
Twitter’s poor bug “accept” is probably taking its toll on the most popular micro blogging site. It has been so popular with “accept” key people are able to force and make other members of known ID to become their follower with the parameter “accept username” where username is a user who you want his/her to follow you automatically.
At the moment, all concerned members are now resett to zero, which would be a really painful process if you had built your account 3-4 years ago. However, there’s a little light in the tunnel at the moment, but I don’t really know if it is going to be sure. At twitter’s official blog,
“We’re now working to rollback all abuse of the bug that took place. Follower/following numbers are currently at 0; we’re aware and this too should shortly be resolved.”
So, hopefully, this thing will be resolved very soon. As a matter of fact, I can see many people will be leaving Twitter for this matter because of easy exploitation in security matter. It was just a coincidence of this bug when an “ACCEPT” fan (German Rock Band from 80s) typed “accept xyz“, and he suddenly had the follower with the login “xyz”, that’s when he posted this strange behavior on his blog and finally come to this as a bug. At the same time, hundreds of people are abusing like, they force and let high profile celebrities to follow them without their consent. Celebrities include Aston Kutcher, Oprah W. and Justin Bieber.
Luckily, I have not practiced that bug and I was not added by force from others, so my account is still working well and not being reset. So, at this moment, if your account following/followers are currently zero (0), don’t panic and give it a few days, I am very hopeful that it will come back to the normal soon.
So, what do you think about this massive bug from Twitter? I definitely they would have prevented this issue because twitter has been using # and @ signs since it is started, I think this “accept” is actually their shortcut to auto-follow when a command is triggered. The question is, for Twitter to find out, who abused the system and who were abused, so that they can differentiate and restore back to normal, if not, there will be heaps of disappointment from honest users, in my opinion.

29 Apr 10 Twitter is overloaded
Another overloading time for Twitter today, My time 29th April, 2010 at 10:09:42 am.
I am pretty upset with twitter lately as I don’t want to use external APIs to connect. It is because there are too many APIs connecting and looks like the site has been overloaded frequently. With the massive amount of messages flying around the net, especially evening time for US will be pretty much a lot of traffic and load balancing machines at Twitter can probably do nothing about it.
At the other hand, it’s fantastic massive traffic flowing in and out of Twitter and I think twitter can actually give you pretty much of SEO advantage over time, because the indexing method with Twitter is not so bad even though first generated TWEET is not necessarily creating massive traffic. So yea, SEO/SEM wise, it’s a great approach, and it is well-used by many others now.
Anyway, another disappointing experience with Twitter this week, AGAIN and I hope they will improve their accessibility soon.

31 Mar 10 Twitter is lagging again as of today 31 March 2010
Twitter has been pretty popular with celebrities, web site owners, SEO and SEM campaigns. However, twitter also has to pay the price of being so popular as well.
Twitter has been lagging and sometimes not working perfectly fine for my tweets and it is very disappointing for me. I wish Twitter had been improved better with uptime as I have been a twitter member for over a year right now. Though I have seen heaps of members every single day now I feel like Twitter is going nowhere with this interrupted services and unreliable following of members. As for me, I will always follow to anyone who really follows me, orelse I will unfollow at the end of the week.
So, I hope to see better uptime and reliable services from Twitter soon because I actually like Twitter very much and I want to keep using it for a long time. What are your thoughts about Twitter? If you want to get great followers, Just try to follow the followers in my @list, because I only keep to those who really follow and stay the same way.
Thanks for reading and happy Tweeting.
26 Mar 10 A simple good BLOG
These days, I am a regular reader rather than a blogger. It is because writing a blog can be sometimes time consuming. Besides, I have been relocating countries and it took about 6 months of my regular blogging habits. So, Yes, I will have to practice to blog again.
To be honest, nowadays, I like to read and review other sites because I find that facinating for other bloggers who have been brilliant with their blogs. I would not rather get an idea or copy/paste other people work, but I actually like to share with what I read, because some of the blogs may not be in your reach while I have done my SEO/SEM works, So, at least, this will reach out to my readers as well.. As you know reviewing is one of my interests while I am blogging.
Today, I read about the title 10 Things Your Blog Doesn’t Need. And It is simple but yet fantastic read, so that you will enjoy like I did.
Reference: Jill Smokler blogs about parenting; the good, the bad and the scary at Scary Mommy. She can be found at on Twitter as @scarymommy.
