Ask HN: Did you exploit the twitter follow bug?
I tried it for a bit and since it was working made some of the celebs like @aplusk & @oprah follow me. Did you do something like that as well?
- jasonlbaptiste 16y agobetter yet, who did it and then messaged one of the people they made follow them. if i had known earlier i sincerely would have made bill gates follow me and just sent a dm with a quick+ sincere "thank you".
- jacquesm 16y agoHow does one tell a quick + sincere "thank you" from a slow and insincere "thank you"?
- butofcourse 16y agoSimply compare the speed and sincerity.
- jacquesm 16y agoKinda hard in a tweet... Reminds me of a silly joke: Mother writing to her son: Dear John, I know you don't read very fast so I'll write this slowly.
- brk 16y agoIt appears that Taylor Swift and Mariah Carey have un-followed me. The others that I forced into my followers list are still there though. Kinda disappointed about Taylor, I really thought that she and I would get a lot of value from each-others tweets.
- sushi 16y agoIt seems Taylor has un-followed me as well. I was also thinking that she could get some value from my cooking tweets.
- noodle 16y agoi used it, yes, but only to test it out. i was too curious not to.
- lazugod 16y agoYes.
