Not sure if I'm cool with "twuser". Lends itself far too easily to "twluser" :P - Brad McCrorey
That's crazy, Twitter has not let me follow new people for a while now but never shows this error (only something strange happened, please refresh the page and try again). Interesting to know what exactly the limit is as mine is definitely a strange number. - Svetlana Gladkova via twhirl
why would you ever want to follow that many people? -just curious - Jason Fleming
@Jason: That's a usual question :) I added tons of people first on Twitter to get a grip of what to do and continued when new people followed me that I found interesting. Now I really want to stop following some to make place for new people and can't as no application that shows mutual followers seems to be unable to cope with API limitations - Svetlana Gladkova via twhirl
This is definitely a temporary limit that gets triggered when you follow a lot of people in a short amount of time. There are more details this and other new limits on Get Satisfaction:http://getsatisfaction.com/twi... - Mike Doeff
@Mike: This definitely is not my case, I only follow 3 or 4 new people per day now so I don't think it's a lot in a short time. So it is probably about the actual countable (not time-based) limit we are looking at. - Svetlana Gladkova via twhirl
