Twitter Hack Lets You Force People To Follow You

Gizmodo stumbled onto an amazing hole in Twitter that allowed you to have anyone you want following you.
It looks like Twitter has shut this down after word of the hole spread across...Twitter.
Here's how it worked.
  • Log in to Twitter.
  • Type "accept 'username'"
  • Hit "Tweet"
In "username" put in who you want. We went with Conan O'Brien because he said over the weekend, "If it ever says I’m following more than one person, I’ve been hacked. I’m a completely monogamous Twitterer—I only follow Sarah Killen."

And Boom! It worked for us. Apparently it also worked for 379 other people! Conan is following 380 people now.
While we were writing this post it seems Twitter closed the hole. As a result of what Twitter is doing, it knocked the number of followers and following to 0 for all users.

You still get the Tweets from people that are following you though.

UPDATE: Here's what Twitter's status blog says:
We identified and resolved a bug that permitted a user to “force” other users to follow them. We’re now working to rollback all abuse of the bug that took place. Follower/following numbers are currently at 0; we’re aware and this too should shortly be resolved.

Sensasi sepertinya belum juga pupus dari diri dan model kepemimpinan Gubernur Aceh Irwandi Yusuf. Bayangkan, di tengah berbagai kritik tiga tahun “kegagalan” pemerintahannya, Dosen Fakultas Kedokteran Hewan Universitas Syiah Kuala ini, kembali mengeluarkan pernyataan yang membuat sebagian pendukungnya berdecak kagum. “Hanya dua hal yang saya minta pada rakyat Aceh. Lain saya berikan semuanya. Pertama, jangan gugat hobi saya menyetir mobil. Kedua, saya dicandukan untuk menyukai perempuan yang cantik, itu canduan dan saya punya istri cantik. Cuma dua hal itu yang saya minta.

Samsung Galaxy: Another Android Blasts Off

  IT'S getting harder and harder to keep up with all the latest Android mobile phone launches. They are like buses. You wait ages for one, and then about six come along at once. Hot on the heels of the Sony Ericsson X10, LG's first in the GW620, HTC and its Legend and Desire plus Samsung's own Galaxy Portal now comes this beauty. Again it's a Samsung. Again it's a Galaxy but this is codenamed the S and we've no idea why. It's hardly catchy.
