My Followers have disappeared! Does Twitter Even Care?
Lost most of my followers and those I was following. Gee Whiz. I've been excited over all my participation and my followers on Twitter. I leave Twitter for several hours and look what happens. How can we know there are people on the other side of our browsers working on the details...so our fav site...Twitter will be back to normal?
Hello Twitter geeks....where are you?

Inappropriate?Everyone is gone...followers and people I follow! When I tried to report the problem, it told me, "Welcome to twitter! Your account has been created." What?
I’m annoyed

Inappropriate?i lost more than 50% of my friends and followers. This is more retarded than the fail whale
I’m feeling like a 3 year old with a candy stick in my nose

Inappropriate?I just lost a few hundred followers also. -
Inappropriate?Lol, what's actually the only thing that should not happen on a platform like this? Exactly... and it happened to me too. Going back to blogging. :)

Inappropriate?Twitter describes this in:
Twitter status report: Updated follower/following counts.
Report your problem (with your Twitter username and whether or not you've recently added/changed your mobile device information) in the following thread, which is where all the action is - with official Twitter participation! - at the moment:
Followers and Following are all gone - when will this be fixed?.
I’m waiting for Twitter to get things back to normal...

Thanks for the tip - I'm heading over there. I have lost ALL OF MY FOLLOWERS! And I am NOT HAPPY about it. It took me a long time to cultivate these followers, and I use Twitter for business networking/marketing purposes, so this is really screwing me up. I am VERY angry at this major incompetence by Twitter. What the hell good is it to cultivate all these followers and a community, if Twitter just wipes them all out with their screw ups??? Just a waste of time. Twitter, YOU HAVE RUINED MY DAY - Thanks a lot! -

Much has changed on Twitter - including Twitter's Help system - over the past 12 months, so the above link which I posted a year ago isn't very useful now.
It appears that Twitter are aware of a very similar problem which began yesterday [please click] - Following, rather than Followers, has unexpectedly been zeroed - and are currently working on it.
I recommend you visit that page and add your Twitter username and details to the rather long list.
In my experience, your Following and Followers lists will return to normal once Twitter have fixed the underlying problem. -
Inappropriate?Help! I know I'm not the only one, but it seems like Twitter would've had this fixed by now as the original announcement by them that it would be fixed went out almost 20 hours ago. When will we get our followers/following back?

Inappropriate?Best to follow on http://status.twitter.com/
Last update I saw was :
Update (3:36p): We believe that by around 7p Pacific around 95% of the data will be recovered.
I’m still skeptical but hoping
-
Inappropriate?Hip Hip Hooray, I believe the problem has been resolved. It looks like everyone is back......HOORAY!!! How about everyone else? Is YOUR Twitter working yet?
Be sure to following me on Twitter.com
I’m very happy and relieved now. Hope Twitter is working for you too.

Inappropriate?Exactly the same thing just happened to me. All my followers and friends vanished. And for some reason I now seem to be following only 2 people -- Ellen DeGeneres (god knows why, i've never added her) and some random person a don't know.
Frustrating.
I’m irritated
-
Inappropriate?The same happened to me (on all 3 of my accounts--the more followers I had on a given account the more I lost). I can't seem to find an answer from Twitter & I haven't yet found a way to send a report/query to them. Very frustrating. HELP?!

Inappropriate?Twitter is all about brand building. I began building a brand several weeks ago, and am now annoyed that I have to start again. 200 followers lost.
Thanks twitter!

I’m hoping Twitter will be back to normal soon...

Inappropriate?I am very angry too! I lost all my followers in one stroke - followers that were very thoughtfully and painstakingly cultivated - and now there is absolutely no way I can ever get them back again. Thanks a lot, Twitter, for ruining my day completely. And you can't even find a PERSON to talk to and get them to listen! Twitter: you have a lot to work on, seems to me your service is not what you are making it out to be!1 Comment Add a comment

It's highly unlikely that your follower list has actually disappeared forever. Twitter doesn't usually lose such data - but can't always find it when it's needed.
Have you visited the link I posted above yet? Adding your details to that list is your best bet at the moment.
