The scheme behind it is obviously that with more followers your tweets
will get more and more noticed. As Twitter is used a lot for
marketing, followers appear to be "key". But I believe more in quality
than quantity.
I was just looking at my web analytics, and noticed that one
particular post in
BLE to post any updates. This would extend the approval-box
on the user-end with the option: "Don't allow [application] to update
my status [, or account information]".
