followers gone - don't panic ;0)

It appears a bug has popped up on Twitter today.  Apparently this bug "allows users to make anyone follow them".  I'm sure you can see how this could be a bit of an issue for Twitter and it's loyal clan.  Some of the details on this snafu are:  "writing “[tweet] accept [username]” then the [username] immediately starts following you.”...

there's another bug: google.  If you know the user's name on twitter, you can find quite a few tweets by them, even if protected.  It doesn't give you EVERY, but it does give you a lot (sometimes, there isn't much to find).
