How many users on Twitter have all “u”s as a username?

require 'net/http'
Net::HTTP.start( 'twitter.com' ) { |http|
    us=0
    us+=1 until Net::HTTPNotFound==http.request_head('/'+'u'*us).class
    puts us
}

The database for my old blog got corrupted, so I’m going to rebuild it on the latest Wordpress. It’ll probably take a while and lots of links could be broken. Apologies for any inconvenience
