Number of Tweets Gone Wild for Some Users

Twitter appears to be having some troubles again, as some users report their number of tweets is off the graphs, normally up to tens of thousands, although the real number is much shorter.

We’ve e-mailed Twitter and asked them what’s occurring. It looks that in any case unusually high number of tweets for certain users, everything else is normal, so there’s no reason to panic just so far.

Update: Twitter user ScepticGeek shows out that this trouble has been going on for quite some time now, as can be seen from this bug asking on Twitter support forums. Don’t expect it to be fixed very soon, though. As Twitter puts it, this bug is a low priority issue because it does not keep users from fully using Twitter. We do not expect to have this issue fixed in the direct future for this reason.
