Other Simple Method Twitter To Follow Back those who follow you With One Single Click :

If you are a power user of Twitter, then you will surely have a number of followers and you will also be following many. But what if you are having many followers whom you aren’t following or may have missed to follow? You could find them one by one and start following them. But do you think it is a wise method if you have hundreds of followers whom you want to follow? I don’t think so! So here is a simple method to do that.

Website YesFollow.info help you follow back those who follow you.

1/ Automatically follow people who follow you and save a ton of time while your Friends list builds itself.
2/ Automatically Send a nice non-promotional DM to new followers that focus on them and your future interaction with them, or simply to thank them for choosing to follow you.
3/ With URL shortening service, is.gd, you can track the clicks on your shortened links, and get all kinds of useful and insightful click statistics.
4/ The profile area on Twitter is very limited. YesFollow.info enable you to write your own long and detailed social profile (including pictures and hyperlinks), and link this extended profile to your Twitter account.
5/ and more …

I’ve been wondering what’s been going on with that!

Anyway do follow me because I follow everyone back eventually (hopefuly within a few days max)

I got capped at 1,025 for attempting to follow all of my competitors and colleagues on Twitter… and yes, I mean ALL of them. Every Videography and Event Planner/Space in the world. I assume I need to receive more followers before I can continue to follow more people? Is this correct?

I really do not understand how they can define someone as Spamming if users willingly followed a person / company within Twitter. They can easily unfollow them if they do not like their tweets. It is the same thing as signing up for someones email list and then unsubscribing if you don’t like their content.

Of course I use a process to find people and follow them in hopes that they checkout my twitter page and follow me back. That’s called marketing and trying to reach out to your audience. if they choose to follow then great…. if not then no harm done.

I have been reduced to following a small amount of people a day now on twitter and there is no explanation why and how these new limits are being determined.

Someone elsewhere suggested that the best solution might be to keep people from following thru the API… as this would keep the spammers from mass-following, but would allow those of us with larger communities who really do interact with our follower/ing lists to manually add thru the website when we want to while still discouraging the spammers.

I know I’d be willing to pay for a pro account to get rid of the “limits” on that. And I pretty much maintain a 1-to-1 ratio.

And the funny part is that “spammers” won’t care. Drop 100 to add 100? Who cares. Those aren’t real people. They aren’t customers. They aren’t clients. They aren’t friends. They aren’t people you Want To Follow.

Arbitrary follow limits don’t hurt “spammers”. They only hurt real, authentic, positive, Twitter-evangelizing People!

How many times do we have to repeat this before someone at Twitter wakes up and says “Oops. Bad idea, that.”
