It’s a dilemma that a lot of Twitter users seem to have these days, should they follow everyone back that follows them or should they just follow those that they like, or should they just not bother with following anyone back at all!

A lot of Tweeter do opt for auto following everyone back that follows them and for me this is something that I don’t do and really don’t believe in, yes there are those that say it helps with your follower numbers, but surely the amount of followers and those that you follow shouldn’t really matter or should it?

Why I Choose Not To Auto FollowBack On Twitter

From past experience in the early days of my account, I did follow everyone back, but this did lead to those many accounts that will follow you and as soon as you do they unfollow, just to increase their numbers, also you have no end of SPAM coming through on your DMs via the majority of the “TeamFollowBack” tweeters and when you have the option to Tweet on your smart phone, it can be a complete annoyance.

Now sometime back, I was listed on the Twitter database Wefollow, great I thought this will help promote my Twitter to even more people!

Hmmmm, didn’t last long though, after a while I decided to change the tags so that my Twitter would be listed in a category more suited…

So following instructions on changing the tags, I proceeded to update them using the wefollow website, very easy really, until I noticed that now my Twitter had vanished completely from Wefollow, it was nowhere to be found, so I tried updating the tags again! Still nothing, very strange.

Off I went to the help that Wefollow offer on GetSatisfaction, if you can call it help!

I’ve posted countless times asking for help, even found an email on the website to contact someone for help, have I had help, have I heck! Not a thing, not one single response, it comes to something when people just ignore your cries for help!

So my advice to anyone using Wefollow, is don’t change your tags, you may disappear into the black hole of obscurity, never to be helped out of it!!!!!!

UPDATE: 6 Oct 2009

Since making this post I have now also tried contacting WeFollow via email and still nothing, so the problem has not been sorted out, what a way to run a website….
