I have no idea how a hole this large could be left in a service as popular as Twitter, nor do I understand why it hasn't been shut yet. What I do understand, though, is that Oprah is following me right now, and receiving my DMs. So anyway, here's how it works:1. Open the Twitter web interface (I haven't been able to get it to work in the apps I've tried)2. Tweet "accept username", as in "accept oprah"

According to an e-mail we received this morning, the Twitter bug and ensuing 0 followers/0 following fiasco was inadvertently started by a Turkish fan of heavy metal band Accept. When this young man tweeted “Accept pwnz,” he found that the user @pwnz was suddenly following him.

Is it worth it to be on Twitter, do you think? I'm thinking of joining again, but every time I have in the past I was on there for a really short amount of time before quitting.

It's worth because you get stuff like this:

"Worth" it? I don't think it's anything other than a fun way to kill some time, unless you're someone who needs to network with writers or comedians or fans.
