Mass followers with twitter
By masterarts
Twitter marketing
Many of the people who now use twitter are using twitter as their marketing strategy. Well basically, when it comes to marketing through twitter the very first thing that comes is the number of followers for your twitter account. With this idea in mind , people tend to follow others and expect a follow back. However, this kind of activity is slow for a human. Hence, people have now started looking for twitter automation softwares. Though some of them are awesome but many are scams.
My twitter script
Well considering these different softwares that needs a lot money , I decided to make my own script for twitter.So basically I wrote this hub as a simple tutorial so that you wouldnt require these paid softwares for simple tasks as mass follow or mass unfollow. I am not sure if there are any other such free scripts available on the internet but to my knowledge most of the people try to make commercial use of such scripts and sell it. Also there are some good commercial softwares that we discuss at the end.
Script requirements
To run this script you require two things:
1> Firefox
Chickenfoot is a plugin for firefox. It will help us do the automated work for mass following.
After installation press F8 in Firefox or goto "view>>sidebar>>chickenfoot"
Location to run the script
1> Login to your twitter account.
2>Search for any user u wish to follow.
I normally search for people who are superstars like leonardo-di-caprio,tom cruise because they have a large number of followers or people who follow large number of people.
In any case if the list of people is huge its good.
Well anyways , here is my link just as an example for you. These are a list of my followers.
Script code
copy the code that is to the right into the chicken foot editor and press the play button.
A list of 100 people would be followed
var i =1;
for(i=i;i<=100;i++)
{
try
{
click(new XPath("/HTML[1]/BODY[1]/DIV[1]/DIV[2]/DIV[1]/DIV[1]/DIV[1]/DIV[2]/DIV[1]/DIV[2]/DIV[1]/DIV[1]/DIV["+i+"]/DIV[1]/DIV[2]/DIV[1]/SPAN[1]"));
wait();
output( "done with" + i + "follow");
}
catch(e)
{
}
}
Tweaking the script for yourself
Remember each person in the followers list or the following list has a number. A lot can be done by tweaking it.
1> var i =1; This is the number of the person from the list to start with. If it is 1 it would start from the 1 person of the followers list You can change it to 101 after u run the script once.So if its var i =101; the follow would start from 101 person in the list.
2> var i <=100; This is very important condition in the for loop. It states the person at which u want to stop or end following from the list. so if i =1; and i <=100; it means that 100 users will be followed from the list Similarly if i=101; i<=200 again 100 users would be followed but from 101 to 200.
3> Remember if you are already following a person, running this script over the same person would cause to unfollow that person.
I have tried to keep the script at a very basic level. So that it isnt too complexed. You can do many more tweaks like adding a timer, random add but complexity increases.
A word of caution
Do not make excessive use of this script. I would recommend at most 50-100 users to follow a day to avoid getting black listed by twitter. Twitter hates too much of Mass following and unfollowing. You would probably get blacklisted. Also, do not hit the following to followers ratio described in the twitter site.. if it exceeds the ratio u wont be allowed to follow unless you have enough followers. Though it wouldnt be a problem even if u hit the ratio, but ur account would come under the eye of twitter.
Like wise i feel this can solve the basic problem of follow/unfollow without the need of commercial softwares
Some good commercial Software
Although if your not happy with my semi automatic method, you can certain go for many commercial softwares available online that takes care of everything
Some of these are twittenator and a bit costly twitteronlinesystem

I wanna try this application, but sadly, chickenfoot is only for FireFox 3, not FireFox 5 that I use. Is there another way?
And can u show me how to add scripts that also comparing following - followers ratio. I mean this scripts not only automatically follow people, but also only follow people who following/followers ratio more than 100% (Following at least 1 person for each 1 follower they have, eg. Following 101 person, Followers 100 person). Coz usually if following/followers ratio more than 100%, there's bigger chance they following back.
Thank u.. :)
