Cada dia faig cas al que segueixo Twitter. Tots els membres que em segueixen volien dir alguna cosa. Vaig crear els meus seguidors de manera orgànica, guanyant favor amb un seguidor a la vegada.
Mai més. Ara és ridícul ... seguiment automàtic de les marees s’estan executant minut a minut. Podria entrar a Twitter avui i trobar un parell de centenars d’estafadors que us aconseguiran més de 10,000 seguidors en qüestió de dies. Twitter ha d’estar esforçat per l’extraordinari pes d’aquestes xifres.
No sé què obliga a algú a enganyar els números per aconseguir globus oculars buits. Quin tipus d’ego necessites per seguir per aquest camí? No estic segur, però realment m’irrita. Els meus 5,000 seguidors solien dir alguna cosa. Ara tinc més de 6,000 ... però molts dels nous seguidors són telèfons de seguiment automàtic.
Aquests sistemes de seguiment automàtic han de funcionar externament a Twitter, de manera que hauria de ser fàcil identificar-los i bloquejar-los. Twitter ho hauria de fer ara mateix, no només per desfer-se dels falsos inflats posteriors, sinó per alleujar la tensió que han de fer tots aquests seguidors per afectar el rendiment de Twitter per a la resta de nosaltres que agraïm el seu servei.
Si us plau, Twitter ... fes-hi alguna cosa. Estan arruïnant la vostra aplicació.
I use to auto follow when I first started and then realized the types of people I was approving were not who I wanted to follow. Now I pick and choose one by one. I’m now following you as I checked and had not been already.
I’ve actually put a request in to Twitter to remove my auto-follow setting but I have yet to hear back… I think they’re pretty busy right now! Hopefully they add an option so I can simply turn it off myself. Now I’m regretting it Michael!
I’m checking each one and unfollowing when I see they’re simply a spammer or an auto-following phony (they skyrocket from a few followers to thousands in a week).
Gràcies!

twitter is on world domination now. everyone in my office is just twittering around all the time. i didn’t set up an auto-follow
How funny that the banner ad at the top of this post is for a service that will get you 4,000 followers for $12.95.
Irony? Thanks Google!
That’s the sound of Doug screaming that you hear! Doh!
Yeh
It seems every time I add a post on twitter I end up with about five new followers?
what the?
I am new to twitter but can see the problem and chaos this will cause. Help get support for my campaign to get people to see the light and stop using auto follow robors, scripts and services.

M'encanta!
Life is too short to be cluttered up with people that don’t share the same interests as you do… I feel that contacts should be like a “Good” bottle of Wine you must pick and choose and determine what best for your taste!
OMG. Thank you for writing this. I have a love/hate relationship with Twitter for this very reason. Just yesterday, I disabled notifications because I was simply wasting too much time processing new (empty) followers day after day after day (and I don’t even have near the high number of followers as some).
I was thinking this was a change for you. I remember you saying you auto-followed anyone that followed you and that you were interested in each and every one of your followers. Wondering what spurred the change overall in your opinion on this strategy? Was it just the spammers?
I agree, I think the automatic following tools don’t create any real value for the followers and followees. Sad to see this post is almost 2 years old.
