    Hello it seems like I can't follow anyone in twitter anymore. I wonder if there's a "following" limit on it? Because when I click on the "follow button" nothing is happening and I didn't receive any notification. I am now following 900+ people on twitter.

    Thanks!

    i understand twitter went down and even more security will be made for twitter. But as for getting followers, i personally get myself 50-150/day using my tool. so i guess some tools do work :)

    They implemented the follower limit to stop spammers.

    There are DOS attacks on Twitter, I thought everyone would've heard about it.
    There is a limit on how many friends you can add every hour or so.. this is to prevent spam. I've used a custom application to have friends added for a marketing account as an automated process and it stopped me at 500 or so I believe. An hour later I was able to continue.. which I didn't XD

    Use tools to follow/unfollow users on a regular basis. Create multiple accounts.
