Refollow

Stop getting your Twitter accounts suspended! :)

So Twitter has informed us that the number of accounts getting suspended for using Refollow to aggressively follow is growing. Of course the number of Refollow users is also growing, but who really paid attention in stats class anyway?

But seriously, we don’t want you getting suspended (unless you are one of those annoying spam bots, then at least you don’t have feelings when you get suspended). Twitter asked us to remove the “Select All” and “Select Page” options from Refollow. We’ve explained that we are not comfortable sacrificing the user experience for the majority because of a small percent of users who will just find another way to abuse Twitter with or without Refollow.

So as a compromise, we’ve just removed the “Select All” button (which let you blindly select all users from all pages). You can still do a “Select Page”, which will select the 100 users you can see on the current page. Don’t you think you should at least look at the picture of someone you are about to follow, unfollow, or lock? There are some scary profile pictures out there, and we’re still working on the Hot or Not filter :)

Thanks to all our loyal users and keep refollowing (carefully)!
