TechCrunch was the first to tip the glitch, which has caused some Twitter
"This is a bug, and our team is working to fix it," a Twitter spokesperson told the Telegraph .
Twitter also addressed the issue on its support page .
A note reads: "Bug alert: A person you've recently followed shows in your following tab, but appears with a follow icon so it looks like you're not following them, as show in the image below. Visit their profile if you'd like to confirm you're following them. Engineers are working to resolve the issues listed above. Thanks for your patience!"

Twitter boasted in a blog post last week that it now has 140 million active users in its ranks, and they send 340 million tweets every day, which amounts to more than 1 billion tweets every three days.
