Twitter Beware - Follower Engines Spamming as you on Twitter
There are a lot of Follower engines on Twitter that will mention you can sign up 100's of new connections with other people if you list with them, and as you'll find out, their listing requires giving them your Twitter password, which they promise not to share with anyone.
What they are not telling you, is they will use their own site under your name to spam everyone on your list, as if the Tweets/postings are from you, and not from them. So, if you see a get more Followers engine there and it requires your password, don't give your password up. I did, and then I changed it to something else. I have seen listings from Hypnotists here as if they sent those Tweets out, they didn't, and didn't know.

Just an FYI, folks...having eleventy-billion followers doesn't do you any good if none of them are real or give a crap what you say. Having a big list is a means to an end, it's not an end in and of itself.
These automated following programs and "follower churn" could get your account suspended, according to Twitter. So don't go there, or you you may get a reputation as...

Thanks for passing this information on John. I also completely agree with Kathleen about the amount of people following you. It's not about the size, its how responsive they are. In other words, you may have 1000 people following you but maybe only 300 of them are responsive or care what you say. SO don't get caught up with building tons of followers. Build value, give value and let your followers grow naturally.
Thanks for the post!
