Thread: Twitter Limits Followers To 2000?

Dave Winer points to a series of discussions and blog posts about Twitter allegedly limiting people to 2,000 followers. In his opinion, it is a good idea, because “the expensive thing in Twitter is distributing status messages to large numbers of queues.”

Wow, Ive never even heard of twitter, awesome, im gonna check it out, thanks mit.

What would happen to all those web celebrities' followers - some have upwards of 50k

Yeah how about those who are really popular?

What if their followers exceed more than 2,000 followers?

I think this is a followers tap. Followers-Following=less than 2000. Thanks for the advice.

They might just noticed, that many are using twitter as medium of marketing. At least they have limited count of followers than nothing, but if this one will happen, other will not be using this social site, they would rather choose FB or other social network.

It's well known restricts followers to 2000 and then after than 10% of your followers can you follow

Especially for those who are really popular people..
They have thousands and hundreds of followers

They should not limit it anymore
