Maybe this will fix the fact that when you block a porn spam account they're still listed in your Followers list.

If I want to fully remove them right now, I have to make my account private, remove them, then go back and undo private mode.

481 people. As Conan said in his "In the year 3000" skit - "Youtwitface" (All 3 will combine in the future but you get the idea)

The major problem I see with this is that you cannot easily identify the people who you are following but aren't following you back. This was much easier before by just seeing who you could send a direct message (easy to scan down the list), but now you have to click on each person to see if you can send a direct message or not. For me, the change isn't worth the new hassle I will now have.

I don't get it.

Are there any truly honest-to-god human beings still using twitter? I thought it was taken over by marketing companies and celebrity handlers months ago.

I mainly use Twitter for socially marketing my safety and security web site so any new features that will make that more efficient are appreciated. Thanks, Harrison!
