Twitter is free count your lucky stars ……. Twitter is not spamwear …. use it for good not worthless junk …. Twitter will lose it’s appeal when there is too much crap and it starts to smell through the portholes.

Twitter didn’t think what would happen if they would have this new ruling, because the allow 1000 a day. These is what i read a guy will do.

Create 10 new accounts with different ip
Massively add and spam of advertising ads,

he used to control one account and now he has 10.

Common sense would teach u that if u limit what people can add, then obviously spammers would create more account to beat that limit, either way its a bad way to control. Having one spammer is better off than having 10 spammers.

For what i think, twitter is better off with google or by alltop

This isn’t going to over well. At all.

Now you’re going to see people putting together 20 accounts at a time.

Nice.

Twitter has enough money to buy extra bandwidth or server space needed to keep up with all the new followers and people joining everyday, I think they just didn’t like all the mass following and auto following going on… i dunno

I personally think the limit should be 1000 follows period. No one can read a feed of more than that, and no one does. Yes, you are going to say, people use software to make lists of different groups. Yes, they read what they want but the rest are just follows who they never see.

Many people follow the people/companies who auto-follow just to get followed themselves. They get a follower who will never read what they tweet, and the guru gets another follower.

Some people look at the number of followers as a heuristic for quality, the real number they should look at is the difference between the number followed and followers. Someone with 10K of each is an auto-follower. Someone with 10K followers more than the number followed, probably is posting stuff of value. (With the exception of any celebs who post silly stuff and people follow anyway.)

Carol,

I agree that Twitter should have informed their user base, but I can only imagine the outcry that would have prompted if they announced before they took that move.

I imagine the rush to get new followers in before the *pre-announced* reduction would have been enough to fire their servers!

Imagine if 12 million folks all rushed in to grab 1000 new followers in the same 5 minute period? Yikes!

As always Carol, love your forthright candor and *tell it like it is* style. I love coming here to read your next pearl of wisdom. Keep up the great work.
