Twitter's Cap of 2,000 Following In Action!
Nicholas James, Jacob, Voyagerfan5761 and 61 other people liked this
As mentioned earlier today, Twitter seems to have capped your ability to follow at 2,000 people, which just so happens to be exactly where I am. The goal, in theory, is to stop marketing-oriented spammers, but it could be another way to reduce stress on the system. So what should I do now, delete "less favored" people, or wait for Twitter to figure this out?
- Louis Gray
from email
Maybe it's the legacy talking, but I'm really not bothered by this. :P
- l0ckergn0me
I can see why they do it, but it does suck for the people who do it legitimately and are not using stupid mass follow scripts.
- David Risley
I'm not super-concerned either, but it does answer why all of a sudden, I started getting these errors last week. It could be part of their "Making Progress On Spam" initiative via the blog, but it hasn't been spelled out all that clearly.
- Louis Gray
let blame this one on Scobles... :)-
- Peter Dawson
Louis, I think cap is more of the architecture the system. Making it into a more robust platform. Now watermarks have been set, it becomes easier to build consistency of experience and application behavior. <Edit > wait for Twitter to figure it out.. Marketing spammers are targeting the 'stupid' one that have the auto follow !!
- Peter Dawson
gotta like it, if I'm the one you are trying to follow!
- Ben Hedrington
I don't think there should be limits like this, but I guess everything can't be infinite
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
I honestly am indifferent about it; Twitter is going to hell and i tried my best to convert it; oh well, Hell has cookies
- Gordon Swaby
I"m only following 49... with 106 followers..
- Ian May
so what do you think, Louis, is benhedrington worth going to the mat for?
- Nathan Rein
I'm sure I can find someone to unfollow in exchange for Ben.
- Louis Gray
Twitter needs to build in groups functionality a la tweetdeck for following 2K+ to even be practical.
- Nicholas Molnar
Louis: You need to convince the new people to head over here :)
- Justin Korn
I'm just curious what the rationale is for following that many people.
- Paul Rodriguez
Well, maybe that's why Louis always seems to know what's going on before anybody else.
- Rahsheen ™, Coach Rah
I've noticed that most of the time I get followed by somebody with a big number, it tends to be marketing play. It triggers the email to you and then you go look and click on their bio link which takes you to the pitch. Very irritating. I always block em.
- Mark Schulz
@Paul Rodriguez, I was wondering that too. I wouldn't have even guessed there are 2000 interesting people in the world </cynicism>, but what fascinate me is that i'm following like 83 people and only about 14 of them tweet regularly. I can assume most of those 2000 do not tweet regularly. Add in the fact that I'm a WAHM to two toddlers, and do other stuff, there'd be a lot of stuff I'd miss.

- Igor Poltavskiy
Very interesting. System limits is going to be a topic that we all work through in this early phase of the Social Web. It seems to me that it's reasonable to cap the number one follows to 1,000 or 2,000. On the flipside, one would clearly like to enable a very high number of followers. With respect to bi-directional connections, the real number should max at 1,000 to 2,000...
- John McCrea
This is awesome! Incidentally, Scoble (@Scobleizer) is still following over 30K.
- Vincent van Wylick
So where is the point following 30k people? You might as well hit the main timeline. The only thing that is bad about this limit is that it was not there from the beginning.
- Alexander Kohlhofer
@kevinrose: 56K+. Losing 54K+?
- Igor Poltavskiy
so what's going to happen to those who follow over 2000?
- Wayne Sutton
you follow two. thousand. people.??? never mind twitter; there may be a law against that.
- jeneane sessum
I like the new limit. I cannot see how anyone would be able to legitimately follow (and pay attention to) more than 2,000 people. Frankly, even that limit seems higher than it needs to be. If it helps keep Twitter a little more stable, go for it.
- Dennis Metzcher
Couple thoughts: the limit impacts the ability to use the service as a direct message router -- for some people. It also reinforces the need for dectralized microblogging -- so if you want exceed the limits you can do so on your own infrastructure. Lastly, nothing prevents you from following everyone or a subset of people through RSS/feeds.
- Chris Messina
Are we sure that Twitter has set a 2,000 limit are or we cranking up the rumor mill? I've seen image before with respect to my own account - an account which just reached 1,000 followers today. According the Twitter rep who contacted me, I got - ahem - put in "Twitter Prison" for "Aggressive Following" My ratio of Followers to Following was kinda out of whack - at that time I had only ~800 people following me while I was following ~2,800 - They suspended my ability to follow more people. I removed 2K.
- Vincent Wright
I don't understand the motivation for following 2K people if you're not a spammer... someone explain?
- Jason Carreira
Jason: For a entrepreneur/VC/angel networker, it would be very easy to hit 2,000 contacts (assuming you used Twitter like a rolodex). From one networking meeting, I might pick up 0-100+ business cards (more at conferences), and during a heavy season I could be doing 7-10 meetings/week. As a angel, I might want to follow 5,000-10,000+ projects/people. Anyone might have a really good project 2-10+ years down the pipe... I've got cartons/boxes of 3-ring binders of business cards in plastic sheets.
- Mitchell Tsai
@Mitchell @Charlie - Rumors aside, do you think the cap is a gesture towards monetization? Going after the power networkers? Seems you would have good cause to pay for a Twitter Pro, or would it just not be worth it?
- joneilortiz
I use Twitter as both a professional development tool (following people who say useful and interesting things abt health / edtech / social media / libraries ...), a personal tool (friends and folk who are amusing), and a reference tool (following a lot of news streams and information resources). You can hit 2000 fast. A friend says that people are imagining new ways in which Twitter could be used, but Twitter seems bound and determined to force them back into some small box of how it "ought" to be.
- Patricia F. Anderson
I would happily follow more than 2000 people, heck I am almost there. And I don't need to see every message. With Tweetdeck it's manageable. I see some Friendfeed users here have thousands to tens of thousands of subscriptions, should we also say it's good to have a cap here? No, please no. I understand that perhaps it has to do with monetization or stressing the system less, these are alas viable reasons.

I've been driving it for several months. It's nice, but... a bit too techy for me. Too much emphasize on touchscreen-based operations instead of good old buttons, knobs and dials.
- Yaniv Golan
The one thing I keep hearing again and again as a huge negative against hybrids are the batteries...they take up trunk space, have a fixed life and will be very expensive to replace out of warranty. Since I like cars that I can own for 10+ years, this is a huge concern to me.
- Alex Scoble
i think it's a a scam, and an inhibition to developing real change in fuel economy standards. My '92 Mazda Protege got 50+ MPG highway and 35around town, so paying a premium for mileage slightly above that 17 years later is a sign that we have done wrong.
- RudĩϐЯaЯïan
The '92 Mazda Protege is rated at 24/33 city/hwy, or 28/36 by the old system. Compare with 48/45 for the Prius. Since my driving is more "city" than "highway" that's a significant difference. The battery has a 10year/150K warranty in some states (such as California).
- Jason Wehmhoener
The Prius seems like a nice car.
- Amit Patel
Isn't the Prius's manufacturing process quite suspect these days? Supposed to do a ton of harm because of the materials used...
- Kevin Francis
The controversy about the environmental damage from manufacturing hybrid cars seems largely manufactured http://www.thecarconnection.com/article... of course, the manufacturing of ALL cars does significant environmental damage.
- Jason Wehmhoener
I don't care about the environment (seriously: I'm an anti-environmentalist. I look forward to the day when we build domes over our cities and I no longer have to deal with the sun and "fresh air") and, while I care about fuel costs, that wasn't a primary driver behind my getting a Prius. It is, however, a fantastic car. It's got an incredibly smooth ride (and it doesn't shift gears, so you never feel the shift), wonderful brakes, comfy seats, lots of storage space, etc.
- James (@willia4)
While it certainly wouldn't be as much fun to drive as a $100000 sports car, for the money, I don't think it gets any better. I've got 53k miles on mine so far and have had it since Oct 2005 and I still get excited to drive it just like I did when it was brand new. It's hard to quantify that feeling with numbers and dollar amounts.
- James (@willia4)
Yeah, and Toyota just announced today that they are dropping prices on the batteries for the gen-1 and gen-2 Priuses. Cost to replace batteries for the Gen-2 Prius is now about $2600, which is far less than I was led to believe. There definitely seems to be a lot of FUD out there where these cars are concerned.
- Alex Scoble
Oh and I think the warranty on the batteries is something like 8 years/100k miles normally (outside of states like CA).

Too bad it's a VW, Mark. VW would have to pay me money to deal with their unreliable cars.
- Alex Scoble
Weird, Alex. The only reliable cars I've ever had/driven have been either a Toyota or a VW.
- Nine
I've heard far too many VW horror stories to ever want to buy one. I'll stick to Hondas and Toyotas.
- Alex Scoble
The Consumerist just had an article this morning about what brands of vehicles people *think* are reliable versus the actual reliability results. http://consumerist.com/5127337...
- Rochelle
What's funny is that the top 5 most reliable brands are actually 2...Honda and Toyota.
- Alex Scoble
Tad and I love our Prius. It's been a great car so far and it's nice to fill it up so cheaply.
- Fa La La La Lindsay
We love our Prius. I can't imagine owning anything else unless it's an all-electric car with a reliability factor similar to the Prius. Had it for 2 1/2 years, great car.
- Karoli
reliability ratings from JD Power http://www.jdpower.com/autos... Volkswagon is pretty far down the list. I've yet to hear from a Prius owner with negative comments.
- Jason Wehmhoener
Not a fan, especially after driving one. Too slow and cumbersome for its size, feels unbalanced and underpowered. Also ugly as sin.
- Mo Kargas
Now my conundrum is this: my currently fairly unreliable car is really trying my patience and I'm ready to move on. But the 2010 Prius probably won't be shipped until April or May I believe. It seems like an improvement over 2009. Hmm...
- Jason Wehmhoener
I trust the Consumer Reports rankings a lot more than those from JD Powers.
- Alex Scoble
Jason, what are the benefits of the 2010 Prius over the 2009?
- Rochelle
bought a 2000 Prius and drove it until last year when we gave it to my parents. Had about 150k miles on it and was a fantastic car. They love it. It has car pool stickers on it, so you can ride solo in the car pool lane. Blue on it last year was about 10k. We paid about net 15k in 2000 with various tax credits.
- Mark Schulz
They have a solar roof option for one thing...looks like it has less power than the current generation, which depending on your way of thinking might not be a good thing. Looks like they are trying to push greater mileage/efficiency out of it.
- Alex Scoble
DON'T DO IT!!! BAAAAD for the environment.

I guess I don't really understand the 2010 Honda Insight's value proposition. It seems smaller with worse gas mileage. What am I missing?
- Jason Wehmhoener
just letting you know that the writer says the honda is competition for the prius. but i definitely get what you're saying.
- Lynne d Johnson
I got the impression they're trying to keep the cost of the insight lower than the prius. Less up front cost for hybrid.
- mikepk
Less up front cost would be a really good thing if it's a big enough difference.
- Jason Wehmhoener
If I was in the market for a car, the new Prius for '10 would be on my shortlist. I really like what they've done with it, and the interior seems to have gone a bit upscale (although so has the price, probably). And the southern California boy in me is a sucker for a sunroof.

Yellowstone quakes pose explosion risk - environment - 06 January 2009 - New Scientist - http://www.newscientist.com/article...
Yolanda, Derrick, Mark Schulz and 2 other people liked this
"Hundreds of earthquakes rippled through Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, in late December and early January, prompting fears that the shaking might trigger dangerous steam explosions. Magma and steam permeate the rock beneath Yellowstone, and the motion of these fluids is thought to be responsible for the thousands of small earthquakes recorded in and around the park each year. With magnitudes between 0 and 2, these everyday quakes are usually small enough to go unnoticed by people on the surface. But beginning on 26 December, a much more powerful swarm of quakes shook the area. The strongest were easily felt by visitors and park staff, including one with a magnitude of 3.9 that unleashed hundreds of times the energy of a magnitude 2."

I've tried 'em all and I love Tweetie.
- Steve Isaacs
I use Twitterfon but have yet to try Tweetie, I'll give it a go now.
- Ryan
Tweetie covers the bases pretty well
- Mark Schulz
Just loaded up Tweetie, very feature rich, hands down best twitter client I've used so far.
- Ryan
Tweetie only for Twitter, otherwise Nambu (for Twitter, FriendFeed, Ping.fm and Laconi.ca/Identi.ca)
- Giovy
I'm partial to Nambu as well, but then again I'm biased :)
- Gersham Meharg
@Ryan - how does tweetie compare with Twitterfon?
- Amani
I just started using Tweetie and after 5 minutes i could tell that is is better than Twitterlator and Twitteriffic.

"The funny thing is, there’s nothing all that radical about most of these changes. A disinterested person would probably wonder why many of them had not been made long ago. A committee of people whose financial interests are somehow bound up with Wall Street is a different matter."

Faith in Markets Cracks Bloomberg.com Exclusive - http://www.bloomberg.com/apps...
"Dec. 31 (Bloomberg) -- It has been a year of record misery: the largest bankruptcy, bank failure and Ponzi scheme in U.S. history; $720 billion in writedowns and losses by financial institutions; $30.1 trillion in market valuation wiped out. The biggest loss and the hardest thing to recover, though, may be something that can’t be precisely measured -- confidence in the markets and the firms that rely on them. “The wholesale funding model lost its credibility,” said David Hendler, senior analyst at New York-based CreditSights Inc. “That started the semi-nationalization of funding in the financial markets. It’s a real chink in the armor of capitalism as supposedly the best process for allocating capital. The government is now deciding who gets access to capital.”"

The scary part is the "The government is now deciding who gets access to capitol" statement.

Investing for hard times, not End Times - Los Angeles Times - http://www.latimes.com/news...
"The Armageddonites say it won't work. More to the point, I think many of them don't want it to work. Why? On The Times' Money & Co. blog, and on countless other investing and economic websites, many people who take the time to comment on the U.S. financial-system disaster see it as the inevitable comeuppance for the nation's borrow-and-spend mentality of the last 25 years. Americans who didn't borrow to the hilt, didn't lease a new BMW every year, didn't live far beyond their means, are bitter about the friends, neighbors and family members who epitomized those excesses -- and who now want federal help, including via mortgage modifications, lower interest rates and jobless benefits. Those who lived irresponsibly deserve their misery, I hear over and over. I don't disagree. But the problem in wishing for an economic catastrophe to punish the guilty is that a new Depression, or worse, wouldn't ruin just the profligate. It would drag us all down."
