I started using TweetAdder 3.0 for Twitter last week and it is really working well for me. For months now I have been planning to follow-back everyone who follows me and send them a short DM thanking them for the follow and encouraging them to visit this site but, I just never get around to it. With TweetAdder, you can set it to perform those and other tasks automatically. These two features alone are worth the price of the $55.00 admission. You can also automate “Followers Of A User” and Followed By a User”. Another great tool is to perform searches based on location or certain key words, save those results and TweetAdder will follow those users, a few a day. Of course, as you follow new people, the Twitter custom is to be followed back. If not, you can set TweetAdder to “Unfollow” those that do not follow you back after a few days. There are many more features that can help you build a large following pretty quickly.
All in all, it is a great time-saving tool for Twitter users and a great way to build a following fast and automatically.

Looks like a great tool. But is it a good idea to autmoatically re-follow those spam followers?
Update: after about a month or so of using this, I went from about 100 followers to just over 600. I guess it works.
Automated following tools SEEM helpful, but if you’re just using Twitter as a broadcast tool, the people who are following you back will not be high quality tweeters, thus it’s a pointless endeavor. People who share things prolifically (i.e., those who might help you spread the word) don’t generally follow bots.
More importantly, automated following tools are forbidden by Twitter’s terms of service. If you can stay under the radar screen, you may be able to use them indefinitely. But if Twitter catches you, they’ll shut down your account.
As a lawyer, I’m very surprised you wouldn’t know this.

Carrie, you could be correct. But, I think, if used properly, this tool can help save time in that it does things you would have done yourself given the time. For example, you can search for people who you would like to follow using relevant search terms. Say for example, search for followers that follow a band that sounds like you. Because these people are qualified by the search terms, when they make the choice to follow you back, there is a real connection.
