In the News
Accept Pwnz Twitter
May, 13 2010
They’re far from mainstream, and though well-regarded among metal enthusiasts, the band’s fame is eclipsed by other, better-known names in speed metal. However, on Monday, Accept were (somewhat) responsible for Twitgate.
The social networking site Twitter was brought to its knees by Turkish Accept fan Bora Kırca, who decided to profess his love for the band online. But his simple tweet, “Accept pwnz,” exposed a bug. He had discovered that typing “accept”’ plus a username made that user follow you.
True to viral tradition, the bug quickly went international. Twitter reacted quickly, reducing their huge, interconnected social network to a mass of isolated islands, as every single person found that they followed nobody and that nobody followed them. Panic ensued.
The site is back to normal now, but the surrounding furor was substantial. The newly reunited Accept have a lot to thank Bora Kirca for, as they get ready to release their twelfth studio album Blood of the Nations.
