Just seems like it is all spammy...like myspace friend adder...I guess they dont have to follow you, but still....why would you need to follow MASS amounts of people with one click?

the app is great and all...until it stops working randomly...and then you try to get help from customer support...and then you get ignored repeatedly...and then you never hear back...and then you cancel your account and just write a similar (very simple) script yourself to do the same job....

but they aren't random. following users based on keywords is a way to 'sort' out people you might want to follow.
This is exactly what i use http://www.MyTwitterButler.com to do but from a desktop so faster than a web service (20,000 calls per hour instead of 100 api calls).

If you understand the difference between using a web app and a desktop app then you might want to check out www.MyTwitterButler.com

Does the same as Twollow in that it can auto follow twitter users based on 4 keywords per account (can run multiple accounts at the same time) but is run from a desktop so you dont need to hand over your user name and passsword.

I dont use auto follow but i know many people who do and they are happy with the result.

My two cents is that twitter is a “use it as you like”

I am going to start doing some auto follow tests. It's the kind of thing that will help me find people, groups and organizations I wouldn't otherwise find.

It's the kind of thing that can actually connect allot of people.

For many bloggers using twitter is the most ethical way of building interactions with their blog. I try and encourage people to use Twitter and WordPress integration to find interested readers, members and clients.

In my view this is much better than trying to co-opt the search engines. Besides this is web 2.5 ;-) people have the choice to follow or not and can also maintain their privacy.

I may be showing my age here but i remember discussions about maintaining restrictions of the www to non-commercial use and wether or not to allow attachments with email.

Imagine where we would all be today if those systems had stuck to their original purpose / design, Still using catalogues to order cd’s via mail i suspect.

Live and let follow I say

Personally i think it is better just to ask. ;-) speaking of which follow me: TweetWP

Seems like a neat tool, but it is not exactly quick to update your account. Maybe I need more patience.

It is not working properly for me... I have a few words as keywords, non of which are as common as the, or, a, of, etc... and it's not auto following people for 3 of them... lame. needs work.

Although I know for sure that this tool would be abused, still it would be worth to use it for experimental purposes in order to find out following and other behaviors of twitterers.

I for one wants there to be some sort of a recommendation system in twitter where by twitter recommends a new person or persons depending upon his current list of followers. Just like we have recommendations for products and so on.

I think it's a unique idea, but it doesn't really fit in with why Twitter exists. Getting a ton of random followers isn't exactly what you want.

Also, I wouldn't want my following to follow me through this tool, as they're not genuinely interested in what I talk about.

Better than Intersquash (with sold for $1k so that was still a success) but not great, yet. Maybe $1.5k this time?

I believe there was a system set in place that only allows a maximum of 5 new followers per update.
