this is annoying that this is the only way to clean up your followers, why cant "remove" always be an option??

How come the people i am following are not showing up. The number is correct but the pics don't. I'm following 24 but only 9 pics appear.

Bug in Mashable keeps the ball spinning after comment is posted. If you're getting duplicate comments, that might be why.

Twitter keeps Tweaking. I've noticed several interface changes over the past few months. Still prefer TweetDeck for most functions, but I do have TweetDeck go to my web browser when clicking on a profile. And I love that there's now one-click RT without having to go back to TweetDeck or hand-copy the username/post.

@Ohdoctah - I think Mager was a trackback posted on another site. I get them on my blog all the time.

@Steve Hall - I keep the inbound "you've got a follower" messages in Eudora, where they're easy to search.

I would prefer to see the bio instead of the last tweet. For me the bio is more important than the last tweet and/or the location. At least in the previous implementation you could bring your mouse pointer above the link and see the full bio. Unless I am missing something now the only way to get to the bio is to actually “open” the link which is way more time consuming.

REPORTING FAIL: How are you seeing the BIO from either the Follower or Who You Follow pages? It's not there. The useful hover/pop-up view of the user BIO is now GONE. Now a click-through is needed to see the BIO - which just adds more traffic and more server hits. What was Twitter thinking?

Seeing "last tweets" for people you already follow is OK. But pretty useless for new followers who I need to vett before following in return. That's where the BIO came in - now it's more of a hassle to decide whether you want to follow or not. FAIL.

Agree as well. I had already posted about the inability to easily see who follows back before I read your note. I like the old screen better! Would be nice if they would put a check-mark next to somebody's name if they follow you back. They do that on the page that shows who follows you - you get a check-mark on the folks that you follow back. Let's use that same idea to show who follows you back.

This change removed a feature that I found useful. Used to be when you looked at your "Who are you following" page, you saw a "Direct Message" button for those folks that followed you back. Now if you want to check for reciprocity, you know have to click a button on each user name. The page that shows "Who follows you" has a little check-mark if you are following them back. It would be nice to see this implemented on the "Who are you following" page, a check-mark if they are following you back.

However my followers count is still off from the actual number of tweeps following me. Are they following but blocking?

So now how do you look at who you are following and see if they are following you back??

Noticing that a fix (of sorts - it's not perfect, as it doesn't 'take' first time) for the removal of blocked spammers from one's followers list does now seem to be in place.

I agree

Definitely some nice additions, but now whenever I check my followers it freezes sometimes.

Is there a setting so you see your followers PROFILES instead of their last tweet? I used to be able to hover over the name to read their profile to decide if I want to follow back. Your article suggests you can view profiles without having to visit each users page. Any suggestions?

Re: Twitter Revamps Following and Followers Pages

Rclarke — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 11:49:14 -0000

Yes this is more informative when browsing - although I am missing the bio of the person you used to get when you hovver over their name. From what I see you now have to actually click on the user, go into thier profile, read bio, then decide whether to follow or not. I prefer just to hover to get the info. Unless I am missing something?
Also WHEN is the search feature coming????!!!!

Fully agree. My tweet strike continues until the second of these issues is fixed. If Twitter takes too long about it, it's bye bye Twitter. No way am I supporting a social media network that gives the impression it's condoning spamming and pornography by not immediately removing all trace of such blocked accounts from the followers lists of GENUINE users.

The "improvements" aren't too bad except for two important facts: it is now impossible to see at a glance in the "following" list if someone you are following is following you also (mutual), in order to do this you now have to use the drop down to see if you can DM the person; and Twitter is not removing the people you blocked from your "followers" list previously during the recent time of troubles (about the past two weeks) when all things Twitter went wonky. I find both of these facts to be more than just minor irritants.

Friedrich Kuhlau — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 05:14:08 -0000

I feel your pain. I'm on tweet strike until this gets resolved - as @stop (one of Twitter's top guys) has told me it will be.

Re: Twitter Revamps Following and Followers Pages

Friedrich Kuhlau — Wed, 01 Jul 2009 04:10:59 -0000

The creative director of Twitter (@stop) has told me that a fix enabling unprotected accounts to permanently remove blocked users from their followers lists is being implemented. I'm choosing not to tweet again until that's been actioned.
