You are missing the point, Norman.

My problem is not existence of rules and limits. My problem is them being hidden until vague, arbitrary & undocumented situations are reached, so they get to apply differently to different users. This is what is happening with Twitter and it’s just unacceptable!

PS. Please, people, don’t write to tell me I’m wrong in a matter of preference, namely the number of people I want to follow…

It’s good also to limit followers to keep balance between FOLLOWING AND FOLLOWERS. Because most people are thinking they are great because they are followed that means many FANS. Very hard for them to click to follow those who follow them even no fees. It’s just a matter of thinking.

Thanks for the article, very intersting. I recently reached the limit because I was trying to meet people so they can follow me. Yes, the logic makes sense above to have a limit.

For me it was no problem to hit the 3000 follower mark within a few days! just by doing automatically follow hundred new people, next day remove the non-followers and follow the next hundred.

Maybe, but you can’t follow any more, I suppose…

Following back people is like giving someone a gift!
And when they follow without it being reciprocated, they loose the chance to follow someone else as you can only follow a set amount per people that follow you!

That’s one of the reasons I follow back!
So follow me today at:

And get followed back in just a few hours!

Αctually, the (not even disclosed!) ratio doesn’t tell me anything at all. I don’t spam anyone. I want to follow more than 2000 because I like what I read from them and want more of it. Plus, the discussion is not only about me but about Twitter’s practices as well.

If Twitter wanted people to follow each other, they should have built it like Facebook. The whole point is that we follow a different set of people than the ones who follow us.

Why are they trying to make us follow less people? Having more followers than following doesn’t make following more than 2000 more manageable.

So, are you puzzled with everyone following thousands or people, or just me?

I understand your frustration at suddenly discovering the 2000 limit if not enough people follow you back, then I’m sorry but I am baffled: WHY would you WANT to follow more than 2000 ?? I run several distinct Twitter Accounts, following about 500 others in total. I have a hard enough job keeping up with that number – all of whom I am interested in, in their different fields, and potentially interested in their tweets. If you want to follow over 2000, but the ratio to those who want to follow you back is not close enough, then doesn’t that tell you something? I’m puzzled.
