We are having the same issues. It seems that the account is losing followers because of it and we are unable to direct message to reply to users.

Yes, I am facing such a problem for more than a week. The issue I am not able to get none of my followers update & also not able to see who are all following me.

It jus posts the updates of mine alone & i havent got any updates from my followers list.

It really taking its own sweet time & till now nothing is resolved except that, twitter has said such a problem exits & to await till it gets resolved.

Its driving me mad. I have the follow back problem too. Each time I click to follow back all seems good ” now following” until I either refresh or return to the following page and all the people I had just followed are showing up as follow again .. I hate to think what’s happening their end they must think I’m mad following them and then not following and then following…..

I have a different follow problem, I’ve now submitted four tech support requests, none of which have been addressed. First, I was receiving emails with follow requests but when I clicked through to twitter, the requests weren’t on my profile. Then they started appearing on my profile but when I clicked ‘accept’ the screen simply refreshed itself, the request was still sitting there and the follower hadn’t been added to my list. And in the meantime, two users have dropped off my followers list. Very annoying and I’m now thinking of closing my account. If such a basic aspect of twitter functionality doesn’t work over a matter of weeks, what’s the point? Lots more to do online…

This problem is caused by the inability of twitter to grow or scale their tech to keep up with all the new users. There’s negative posts springing up all over. I closed my account just before Christmas because it was getting so much spam and was too unreliable.

The reason it takes twitter five days to fix these follower problems, is that they are currently putting out fires and the fires are gaining ground. Theres no way they would leave high profile users, with large networks so unhappy unless they had to.

The only thing that can stop twitter right now is twitter itself.
