"When I sent in a support request, asking what this was about, a few folks pointed me to a wiki talking about rate limiting - i.e. preventing certain actions for a period of time, like queries to the API. However, after 4 days, things didn’t get better, so I opened a support case in as many ways as I could. Here was the response I got back: The follow limit is different for every profile, based on that profile’s activity. If you’ve hit the follow limit for your profile, you can un-follow some people in order to follow others. You can stop following some people to follow others, however, you wont be able to follow more people than you’re following currently.

a lot of contemporary problems would be solved if we can accept that DNA "DOES" decide certain things. It is not bigoted of me to say that being Jewish gives me access to certain DNA that does certain things. Mark Davidson is wrong! DNA is like twitter... is twitter's architecture evil? No... only if you get hysterical about it and start bullying people about what they can do with their feeds and start talking about grounding your follows.... etc. the inherent architecture of twitter is fine. if the admin at twitter really knew that the architecture could only work with so many people then they should of licensed the technology instead of hoarding it. the architecture was fine... the human element of tyranny took over. http://xrl.us/okmm2 twitter like Hitler... was only DNA! - Noah David Simon
