		<title>Mass Unfollowing Stopped</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As discussed earlier, we have now stopped all forms of automated unfollowing, as per Twitter&#8217;s request.
We&#8217;re currently working on a streamlined manual version (which will allow you to unfollow a single account at a time). This is our number 1 priority. We&#8217;ll be in touch very soon.

		<title>No More Mass Unfollowing</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We have been asked by Twitter to stop mass unfollowing. So, of course, we will.
The official cut off date is May 21st, but we will be stopping over the next couple of days (ie, well before cut off). Our intent has always been to do the right thing by Twitter &#38; we will continue to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Improving how we measure High Volume</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Identifying people that are high volume has been something that has taken the longest time to really settle down.
I&#8217;m getting much happier with this latest (the 3rd? 4th?) incarnation.
If you remember, the previous version simply identified anyone that tweeted on average more than 50 times in a day. That was much more reliable than earlier [...]]]></description>

		<title>New Report Category &#8211; Little Original Content</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve added a new category to the bottom of the reports, &#8220;Little Original Content.&#8221;
This covers two areas:
People who retweet 70% or more of the time
Of course, some people do find the best stuff out there, but in general, if someone is only ever RTing things by other people &#8211; why not just follow the other [...]]]></description>

		<title>Safer Logins &#8211; Greater Transparency</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Given the number of people that have had their accounts hacked recently, there are a lot of people getting very nervous about entering their Twitter username &#38; password anywhere.
I also had a bit of a look at the login process &#38; realised &#8211; once the login window pops up, it could be pointing anywhere. I.e. [...]]]></description>

		<title>No More Checkbox</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The primary complaint I&#8217;ve had about the site, at the rate of about one in every two hundred users is that of people not seeing the checkbox on the front page. Which one? The one that said &#8220;Tell your followers&#8221;:

If it was checked, a tweet went out on your behalf, if not, no tweet.
I&#8217;ve had [...]]]></description>

		<title>Slowing down to the speed of Twitter</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been keeping an eye on current best practices on Twitter (of course), &#38; it appears Twitter is cracking down on bulk unfollow. This was an informative article, &#38; an eye opening tweet.
Specifically, they want to avoid churning &#8211; that is, following a ton of people, then unfollowing those that don&#8217;t follow back, repeat ad [...]]]></description>

		<title>Improving the auto-tweet</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The &#8220;auto tweet&#8221; on the front page is a source of occasional consternation.
There are two specific behaviours that I&#8217;ve tweaked &#38; improved.
1. If you had a problem with Twitter when authenticating, it would default back to tweeting (even if you&#8217;d previously deselected the checkbox).
2. People occasionally request a report (with the checkbox ticked, ie &#8211; [...]]]></description>

		<title>Accuracy Improved &#8211; including lists</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lists are a great new addition to Twitter.
I recently got to thinking (spurred on by @GLComputing &#8211; thank you!) about them in a different way.
Lists are groups of people that you&#8217;ve taken the time to say &#8220;Hey, this person is important to me.&#8221; If that&#8217;s the case, why should you need to tell The Twit [...]]]></description>
