A recent bug in twitter was found which literally forces any account to follow you. The flaw appears when a user tweets this format: "accept [Twitter Username]". That user then appears as one of your followers. For example "accept TheBulkTwitExp" will cause the Twitter account "TheBulkTwitExp" to follow you.
Twitter have noticed the error and have been trying to fix it. When users attempted to run the command, (or any other command at the moment) they receive the "internal server error" message. This is the reason why you are seeing people Tweet the same thing multiple times. It also seems that people cannot see any Tweets on other peoples profiles.
Twitter's attempt to squash this bug is to reset the accounts of anyone who tries this exploit to a follower count of zero. Once that's complete the follow/ing/ers counts are being set back to what they should be. Hopefully they will sort it out soon.

The Twitter Experiment is an experiment to find the ratio of following to followers. If a user were to simply add thousands of users a day, how many would add them back? What is the percentage of people who will add a random back simply because they are following them. See more at: http://thecomputerknowhow.blogspot.com/p/twitter-experiment.html

Apple has created a lot of buzz with this product launch. My initial reaction when hearing about the iPad was that it’s just a giant iPod touch. This may or may not be exciting depending on who you are but I didn't think the iPad was for me.
Considering the iPad has no multi-tasking capabilities, or even flash, I am unimpressed. Their is an enormous lack of features for a device that's nearing a Netbook. The applications for this device are already in the Appstore and while theirs some great applications, Apple denies a lot of them that have a real chance of taking off (Google Voice for example). It's like they are forcing us to use what they want us to use on their iPad. I however, want freedom to do what I want, when I want. Another one of Apples marketing tactics was battery life. Apple claims you can watch HD video (720p - not actually True HD) before you need to charge the iPad. Although this sounds good, my Netbook that cost me half as much as the iPad can watch video, Play Games, Torrent and blog all at the same time for 10 hours. Plus my netbook can run multiple operating systems unlike the Ipad.
I hate all this, but somehow I'm still intrigued. The iPad may not change the world, but it definitely has a chance. It has pushed technology in a direction of digital tablets as a medium. The possibilities are endless and the potential for the iPad is enormous. The downfall is that it is constrained by the software developed for it.
After all this, I may just have to go buy one.
If your interested in an iPad, Amazon has the 16Gb, wifi version priced at around $620ish: Apple iPad Tablet (16GB, Wifi). You can also pick up a silicone case for about $4: Premium Black Soft Gel Silicone Skin for Apple iPad.
