Follow a few hundred users at once means a few hundred instant api
calls. with 20K call cap, I don't think this app will be sustainable
unless Twitter removes that cap


Anyone want to write this app?

I don't have time right now to do this, so I thought I'd pass it on
and see if anyone else is interested.  If so, please unicast me and I
can get you the contact info for the person below.  And yes, I know
about Twitter Karma, but he says he's tried it and it didn't exactly
accomplish his goals...

There are actually two things i'd like to be able to do

1. Make it easy to unfollow a ton of the folks i'm following in one
shot.

So...ideal world...i can import all of the folks i'm following into
one web page. Then I could, just like in excel, click one...scroll
downclick on another...all the ones inbetween would be
highlighted...and I could unfollow all of those at once.

2. Go to any person's followers list...import them all
at once...and then click one...scroll downclick on
anotherall the one's inbetween would be highlighted,
and then I could follow them all at once.

For this...I believe you would have to 'throttle' how
fast it followed those folks so there weren't any
'issues'. You may know more about that then I
would.

I wouldn't try to follow more then 3-5 hundred on
any given day...as I heard past that you may run
into 'issues'.

Let me know how hard the above would be to create,
and how much it would cost for me to have it created.

Of course it didn't.  The stated goals is exactly what the make money
on Twitter idiots are doing.  See:

I already hate the fact that Twitter spammers are using Twitter Karma,
but I haven't figured out a way to determine if the user's one of those
or a legitimate user, yet.

 Yeah, these requirements sound pretty spammy.

1. Follow a lot of people on Twitter.
2. Wait for people to follow you back.
3. ???
4. PROFIT!

You know, @DaveRhodes is SO underutilized.  I'm sure he could tweet all
day about how to MAKE MONEY FAST.
