I don't know. I do not think that it is an error. Someone knows what he is doing.
But I do not see the goal.
It does not mean that this is reasonless

from the beginning of getting to know the bitcoin until now I always use blockchain.
and they could not have lost the confidence of users just for a quick profit

I'm a noob.  Can you please explain to me why this is unusual?  They always seem to have a few double spends at any time, is this an excessive number?

Dont open anything if you dont know what it is.. that might harm your computer.

Thank you very much. Usually I do not open anything that I already know. Because I already know it and opening is useless.

OK.
Have a look to http://respends.thinlink.com/
Do you see red cells? Do you know what they mean?
Red color in "tx2 seen" column and significant time difference in "tx1->tx2 Elapsed" column mean that there is a split in bitcoin network.
Western part of network knows nothing about tx1 until block arrived.

Most of red cells - are blocks mined by Discus Fish (Eastern part)

Discus Fish pool receives one transaction and the other world another one (malled on China Firewall or created different).

Be careful This can be double-spending testing

I think, blockchain has a problem with their server, I can't send any payment around 2 hours yesterday.

Might be the massive userbase using their mywallet service.
They are performing fine imo with me!!

Spam continues:
https://blockchain.info/address/13eb7BFXgHeXfxrdDev1ehrBSGVPG6obu8

There can be an explanation that somebody creates an address with many "reuses".
What a reason for having such address? Hehe  Think yourself. One possible clue:

http://eligius.st/~gateway/faq-page

New transaction selection policy decided from miners' meeting (not in effect yet, ETA unknown):
Standard payment transactions, including arbitrary P2SH, are mined if they pay a reasonable fee.
Data carrier transactions are permitted to be up to 80 bytes.
Address reuse and probable spam incur a penalty on transaction priority.
Blocks are filled gradually to 128 KB at a transaction fee rate of 0.1 TBC per 512 bytes.
Beyond 128 KB, transactions may be included if they offer a higher fee.
Non-standard transactions is selected only if it they have a higher-than-default fee (100 TBC/0.16777216 BTC per 512 bytes).
Dust, confirmed spam, "bare" multisig, and custom "dangerous" scripts will not be mined under any conditions.

This could be part of a promo someone is doing. The amount is not at dust level. I don't mind getting some of these spam everyday.

This person sends small amounts and returns back them to original address.
This looks as useless thing. But the owner knows what he is doing.
This is not a "dust spam" to bitcoin users. This is spamming blockchain (I do not mean the site bc.i) itself wasting disk space.

Nice website thank you for the share.
Looking at the amount of transactions I don't see significance here. Even if it is 'double spend testing', that is good. If bitcoin is vulnerable it is better that someone finds out now.

I think a more accurate description would be that someone is wasting a lot of bitcoin on TX fees.  I see no reason for whoever is behind these addresses to engage in these transactions, and that all of these TXs seem to include a TX fee (standard amount of .0001) which add up
