a while back there was a huge yet extremely simple bug discovered in Twitter. You could simply tweet “Accept Username”, where Username was the twitter account name of the person that you want that must follow you. Pretty pointless to me, because any descent Twitter user will notice this and simply remove you again. But… if you are LAdy Gaga or Pres. Obama then doing this task may be a bit.. just a little bit tedious.
What people wont do for fame?
So, who was it that got the most forced follow requests? Checkout this graph from Mashable:
I tried it.. but lost interest, so I have yet to check if the accounts I attempted to force, are actually following me. Maybe I should tweet more often…

OK well not dead, but it sure ain’t as alive as most people claim it is.. have a look at some of these stats. Barracuda labs released a study on the current state of the twitterverse [Mashable]:
It started with one assumption: An active or “True” Twitter user has at least 10 followers, follows at least 10 people and had tweeted at least 10 times. By that definition though, only 21% of Twitter users are active users.
There’s a great deal of interesting data in the breakdown. Only 26% of Twitter users had 10 followers or more by December 2009, while only 40% were following 10 people or more (in fact, a majority of Twitter users, 51%, were following less than five people).
In terms of tweets, the report estimates that 34% of Twitter users hadn’t tweeted even once, while a whopping 73% of Twitter’s users tweeted less than 10 times. That means nearly all of the tweets on the social network were coming from about one-fourth of the userbase. Power users dominate.
It put’s things into perspective hey? So most of twitter users are all lurkers, not posting anything, but following everybody perhaps? 10% of registered users are the actual ‘real’ users then. Who would have thought.

This from [Lifehacker]. With all the pro’s and cons. I haven’t used buzz that much yet, so at the moment it’s all FB IMO.

This via [TechCrunch]. Facebook still reigns king, by a long shot. Check out this graph:
And now with Google launching it’s Buzz, no-doubt they will be in on the action soon! Personally… I think twitter is shit, and Facebook is overrated. do I use them? Of course!! I think we’ve moved past the point where we cannot use Facebook anymore… It’s like claiming 10 years ago… I WILL NOT use e-mail.
