Of course all systems have their bugs, firewall issues, and hacker-prone systems but I hope this will be resolved twitter apocalypse, avoided.

Thanks @neurodexter for the exact description of the issues you encounter.

It seems most people don’t care. I’m genuinely surprised. The all the rage social networking site Twitter can’t find you and you don’t give a damn? You must be doing something wrong.

I’ve been testing again and Twitter can’t even find me when I enter SEO 2.0 into people search although this is almost the only text I have on my profile. They find a guy who has just 68 followers instead. FAIL!

I first encountered this right as @onreact_com tweeted out, so that was interesting. I could not find a discounted #kindle tweet posted hours before. Whereas I am an SEO, I thought twitter would not have filtered me based on my bio, but I was being considered Spam instead. I initially thought somehow Twitter was not allowing for a Hashtag and a Link to a product in the public timeline. Then, I started searching other past tweets I had found in the timeline a day or two earlier (namely, pictalicious.com a new color matcher by MailChimp). And Nothing. Then, I turned to mentions and found only the most recent eight or so that would fit on one page. http://twitter.com/#search?q=@neurodexter – so does this have something to do with a new spam filter to help Twitter combat bots…Looks like it maybe. Your link out to the twitter page with an explanation mentions alot about new accounts being missed in the timeline intentionally. (Stop hack of starting accounts and tweeting once or only following for the autofollow) But this measure has apparently infected our timeline, and the search function is kaput. I hope we can gain back the freshness of all data making it into the timeline even if they have to block scrapers, spammers, porn, and follow bots.

Of course all systems have their bugs, firewall issues, and hacker-prone systems but I hope this will be resolved twitter apocalypse, avoided.
