      Has anyone tried to follow @RichardGrenell on Twitter and later found they were not following? Happened to me twice this week and I am wondering if it's a bug or something else. Give him a follow and let me know how it goes.

      I'm beginning to wonder if some of the apparently devious behaviors of @twitter and other large social networks may actually be a result of their use of "eventually consistant" data stores. I'm sure there's some shennanigans too, of course...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eventual_consistency …

      My point being that it's hard to design a short-term experiment to detect the difference between shennanigans and consistancy lag.

      How would a "bug" of this magnitude not be either public knowledge or fixed by now? We're talking years.

          Eventual consistancy isn't a bug. It's a feature that lets sharding and replication work reliably. But it's not a "feature" that the people who build and run social networks are proud of...and their management mostly doesn't understand it.

          I would flatly say that if you're certain you followed somebody 24 hours ago and you show as not following them now, "eventual consistancy" is not an explanation. It should have converged long before then.

          The best way to detect shennanigans would be experiments that span the period of time required for the data store to converge and test the state repeatedly.

          I believe it falls under the incompentence model you champion. Companies losing money, short on staff and subbing their stuff out to $8 an hour Indian firm tend to make mistakes. Or you could just ask Peter T for Jack's cell number and ask him?

          I am not a coincidence theorist but I did experience first hand that Twitter isn't exactly great at the tech game.

          Old Twitter allowed you to like or follow someone then toggle into doing things normally. New Twitter, if you like or follow then hit the space bar (for instance) it unlikes/unfollows. To avoid, I click into timeline screen, sometimes twice to make sure. Mac Browser Twitter.
