Twitter does impose some limitations, and if you exceed them your account can be disabled – temporarily or permanently. You’ll likely get a message that says something like this:

“Sorry Twitter Message: You are unable to Follow User at this time please try later”

Or

“You are unable to follow more people at this time.”

Here’s the info from Twitter about the Twitter follow limits:

“Last year, Twitter imposed reasonable limits to help prevent system and user abuse. (You can read more about that here.) If you hit a Twitter limit, we will tell you by showing an error message in your browser when you try to perform an action. If you’ve hit a limit, it means you’ve exceeded one of these limits:

* 1,000 updates per day
* 1,000 direct messages per day
* 100 API requests per hour
* Follow limit

We do not limit the number of people who can follow you, but we have put limits in place to stop people from aggressively following others. Everyone is allowed to follow 2000 people. After that, follow limits are based on the number of people who are following you. Follow limits cannot be lifted by Twitter, and everyone is subject to follow limits, even high profile and API accounts.”

Recently, I got a new one that’s my favorite. I like it because it’s the most flexible and configurable one of all the ones I’ve tried. It’s very powerful and it works well.

They call it Get More Twitters. Check it out if you’re into Twittering.
