My followers and folks I follow have remained stable. I scrutinize people who follow before I choose to follow them. That evidently helps.

Good eye, good catch~

At one point I had double the followers which was about 1300 which was confusing. I thought there was something i said or did that caused so many people to follow. I posted a tweet about it, The next day have of the followers were gone. Which weren’t actual followers, but it’s a good thing to see that the Twitter Admin is on top of their platform.

I keep hearing that twitter is “cleaning house”, and yet since the first time I heard this about 2 weeks ago, I’ve had to manually block about 350 spam followers. They all have the exact same format: 1) their location is “US”, 2) they have goofy 13-16 character names that don’t make sense, 3) their posts are random posts taken from other accounts, each one itself seems ligit, but when you read a person’s posts, you can tell they aren’t from the same person, 4) some of the posts are in a foreign language, and 5) they are usually following a huge number of people, but only have a small number of followers.

Can twitter get rid of these people? I don’t think having to manually block 30 people per day is quality use of my twitter time.

Same, that is a relief.

I was avidly checking twittercounter daily and was really surprised when I saw a drop of about 130 followers!

Thanks for the reassurance, I don’t mind if it’s “fake” people I’ve lost!
