Personally, I do NOT want to be on anyone’s FOLLOW list who has millions of people on it. Especially not marketing affiliates, GURUS, businessmen, “experts” or anyone else promoting themselves at MY expense. So if I find ME on YOUR follow list, you bet your bottom dollar I’ll block you, using Tim’s Program or my own little finger on the Twitter Block button. You don’t need to Complain about Tim’s program. All he did was make it a little easier for those of us who have old computers..you know, the ones with Windows ME 2000, who have to take way too much time playing around going from page to page wasting time looking at sites like yours.

I’m a Nurse, and have a small business too. I’ve blocked 833 followers. I have only 600+ followers, that’s fine. It’s QUALITY I care about, not quantity.

Anyone who thinks otherwise is misinformed, a spammer or (probably) both.

does not post links to his sites in their tweets but does list the 2 sites you mention in his profile, he doesn’t spam, he doesn’t use auto-DMs, he builds relationships, he also promotes his Twitter account off-site, he has volunteered for his community in times of trouble, he helps other Twitter users with their questions & problems via email-Twitter-DM & phone, treats all with respect, etc…. also according to your stats follows 474 people a day & 5 of these people per day don’t follow back. You talk about protecting this persons privacy yet shortly later in comments you provide information exposing him? (sigh….)

Yes – this person is an affiliate marketer & entrepreneur but he also properly uses Twitter by not spamming his links. His sites sell weight loss products, clothing, etc…. which is absolutely “OK”. Your words suggest prejudice to all entrepreneurs/affiliate marketers.

I don’t like spammers on Twitter just as much as everyone else but to misclassify regular entrepreneurs/popular users as spammers/nuisances as your site “initially” did caused false blocks by many people…. that is an absolute fact. Everyone has different reasons to use Twitter & people shouldn’t have vehement anger to those who have amassed many followers for various reasons. I admit that I enjoy having many followers & I also understand the reasons of those who choose not to have many followers. The key is to repect each others choices/opinions & try not to attack different points of view.

In case everyone hasn’t figured out – that person is me. I stood up for what I saw was injustice of many great Twitterers being labeled as spammers & nuisances and having their accounts falsely blocked at a rapid pace. Recent site changes have stopped that effect (Hooray!). I don’t regret my stance because I know it was right. I have been kind to you Tim & have been honest in my thoughts. I would like to think that my words have made a difference improving your site. I am however very saddened to see my private email to you published.

Twitter isn’t a game to me – it is the social media platform I have chosen to hopefully excel in. I don’t want to see that torn apart. I wish you & all Twitter users the best.
