Has Twitter been wigging out on you lately? Not to worry, says Twitter, because "you are not alone" and the microblogging service is apparently aware of a pair of issues causing a bit of a ruckus as of late.
One of the problems plaguing Twitter in recent days is tweets from strangers showing up in a user's timeline. According to Twitter, some users are confusing this bug with retweets, but if you're positive that's not the case (easily identifiable by the retweet symbol and labeled as a retweet), the social networking site is asking that you post your username, username of the stranger in your Home timeline, and a link to the tweet in question in the comments section at this link.
The other issue making the rounds is users reporting receiving SMS updates despite having notifications turned off.
"Do not worry, we have escalated this bug to our engineers and we should have a fix very soon," Twitter posted on one of its Help Resources pages.
So what should you do in the meantime? Sit tight, or if you're "still frustrated, please feel free to submit a comment below and/or submit a new ticket to our help desk," Twitter added.

Does it say anything about not getting tweets that you should be getting? Yesterday I missed @FakeAPStylebook's tweet about Linux users being criminals... and I didn't see it until a friend retweeted it.
How come it feels like something major screws up on twitter every time they make a change.
