In the wake of the new Twitter.com roll-out, the micro-blogging site on Monday was experiencing intermittent issues that affected follower counts as well as the ability to follow other users and send direct messages.

"We're investigating reports of folks still seeing 0/0 follow counts, unable to follow other users," Twitter wrote on its @support feed Monday morning. Minutes later, Twitter said that its direct message feature was also temporarily down.

"Twitter is working to resolve this issue in full," the company said.

Twitter followers were reduced to zero on Sept. 28 as well.

The issues comes several days after Twitter started rolling out the "new Twitter." The roll-out was not without its issues, however. On Sept. 29, Twitter said the drop-down menu on its homepage would be broken until the morning, and the company temporarily disabled the ability to upload profile images.

Both features were re-enabled by Sept. 30. That same day, however, a bug corrupted the system so that Twitter only showed the 50 most recent direct messages – sent and received. Users were advised to use the old Twitter until the company resolved the issue.

Over the weekend, Twitter also temporarily disabled the display pane in the new Twitter Web UI after uncovering some "technical issues." The feature was re-enabled by 4pm Pacific time on Sunday.

Last month, Twitter was also hit with the "onMouseOver" worm after a site update unknowingly resurfaced a site exploit Twitter had discovered and patched in August. A 17-year-old Australian later took the blame for unleashing the worm.

UPDATE: Later that morning, Twitter said it restored follower and following counts, as well as the ability to direct message other users.
