Let us preface by saying that this is actually a fantastic idea. Very simple and straight-forward. It’s something akin to what you’ll find at WeFollow.com, but much more basic.

The synopsis is that you create an account, and hang out online — the idea being that everyone online sees each other and follows each other. This is a spaghetti-on-the-wall approach, NOT intended to help you find a targeted market. But let’s face it, people like to follow people with lots of other followers. I mean, if they have lots of followers, they must be doing something right. Right?

Well, the thumbs down comes for the following main reasons:

• poor graphics & layout
• very few followers (and few of them are online at any given time, meaning you have to hangout online for a long time just to get some followers
• google ads spackle the site, making it difficult to read & navigate, and…
• the #1 reason is that they take over your Twitter account and post annoying, automated messages on your account at least once a day. Often several times a day.

We had to cancel our account to get the daily auto-tweets stopped. (Well, we hope that did the trick). Let us not be totally down on this site. It has some potential. But even if they had put in a TINY bit more effort, the overall effect would have been better, and I think that’s the most perturbing thing.

UPDATE: This post now includes www.twtexpress.info. We wouldn’t be surprised if it’s the same people pulling of the same half-hock operation. Two thumbs down “Get Followers”.

Happy Tweeting!
