I can't post anything. :-(
I think I am having withdrawals.
Can someone help me?
I am using Firefox on Ubuntu. Is something wrong on my end? I know there was a DOS attack on Twitter on Thurs. and they did a bunch of stuff to defend against it, but they said Twitter is working now.

Twitter works again now. I think they fixed the problem, which was on their end.
Yeah, I get requests from random people. Is your Twitter public? If so people can search for terms or words and get directed to your Twitter. Some people just follow everyone they find it seems. I think it is a self promotional type thing. It seems many are trying to promote themselves online. They figure if they follow you chances are that you will check out their Twitter.

I think mine is private. I hope it is. It has a picture of a padlock next to my posts when I post.

The padlock means it's private. I don't think that stops random people from finding your page though, they just don't see any of your tweets. Anyone would still be able to request to follow you, unless you've blocked them, at least that is what I think...
Sorry you're getting unwanted followers, it must be jarring if you're a private person.
Don't worry though, you have total control being in private mode.

oops, I just saw this now. How's it been over the past few days? I don't post that often but it's fun all the same.
