DDoS attack on twitter may affect your find2follow results

Unfortunately, Twitter has been under attack for the last couple of weeks, and it has affected Twitter’s API as well. DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) is an attempt to make a computer resource unavailable to its intended users; read more at Wikipedia.

Since find2follow relies on Twitter’s API to find you new friends, we also have been affected. So if you find some people who you’re already friends with, this DDoS attack is probably the reason. find2follow has been designed not to present your current friends in your search result set.

The Twitter developers have been working hard to mitigate the problem, and we believe they will achieve this goal soon.

Thank you.
