Rumor for now but *if* true is yet another illustration of unintended consequences of a technical choice. To be continued in the next few days. In Asiajin » Twitter Finds Recommended Users From The Same IP Address? Rumor Frightening Japanese Users At http://asiajin.com/blog/2011/05/18/twitter-finds-recommended-users-from-the-same-ip-address-rumor-frightening-japanese-users/ Reactions to this claims are spreading on Japanese Twittersphere. But more people reply that they do not see such recommendations. It is possible that Twitter tentatively introduced that “Follow others from the same IP address” feature and withdrew. But there are already tweets and blog posts explaining how to avoid this privacy leak in case if this rumor is truth, including pausing Twitter usage. -- Karl Dubost - http://dev.opera.com/ Developer Relations & Tools, Opera Software
