    I'm relatively new on twitter and just lost about 1/3 of my followers since yesterday. Had about 104 following me and now only have 69. What's up with that? Haven't even been sending many updates.

    Yeah, I lost over 100 followers in a matter of minutes last night. The count went down, then back up to the original number, then down again. Found that to be sort of odd.

    Yes, first I was losing Followers and I thought that I had Tweted some stupid stuff, but then I noticed that I'm losing Followings as well. There must be some sort of tehnical issue happening at Twitter. This is not good. I hope it all comes sooner or later. -Kris http://twitter.com/krisolin

    All seems to come back to normal now. It looks like I have gained back the followers I lost. The episode lasted for 4 days when I lost 81 followers and as much followings for some reason. Now I'm back to normal and actually I have gained more followers than when the drop started. Has anyone heard any logical reason for this operation? My drop was 3-7.
