Bug: Make Anyone Follow You On Twitter

by on May 10, 2010

There is a bug on Twitter which let’s any user to make anyone follow him/her. We’ve been informed by @hasanbasusta that this bug has been posted on a Turkish site called incisozluk.

To check the bug we just created a user called “bugrazzi” and with just a simple line of tweet made @ev, @finkd, @readwriteweb, @mashable and @techcrunch follow us.

How to make anyone follow you one Twitter?

Just tweet “accept [Twitter Username]” and done!

Example: accept bugrazzi

We’ll update this post as we get more information.

UPDATE: Twitter fixed the bug and resolving the fake follow issues.

    Yeah it would appear that the whole of twitter has lost all followers and following!

    Wonder if they are fixing this?

    I hope so I dont want people adding me

    Doesn’t work. “Internal Server Error”. Twitter is already fixing it.

    I start to use a new twitter auto follow service on the net http://www.fastautofollow.com/, found that is great, I need not to do any manual works, my twitter followers increased automatically everyday.It works real people I am following and who are following back, a 5 star product that I recommend to anyone!
