Hi,
As the developer of Twollo here are my thoughts.
*Auto un-follow:*
I have not implemented it, I am unlikely too - it has lost me users for not
doing it. I developed Twollo to help you find people to follow. I have *a
lot* of requests to develop a feature that will auto-un-follow after X days
The problem right now with an unfollow limit is that if they do choose to
reciprocate following (which is a practice I personally like to do myself
for the reasons stated - it's more than just etiquette. I do it because it
builds community and encourages conversation.), eventually some users will
Its an interesting topic. I wouldn't say the 2000 limit would make auto
unfollow necessary - you have to remember the people using auto-unfollow are
mostly doing it to cycle their accounts get as many followers and not to
have a massive skew on their follower/following ratio to make them appear
Jesse,
Twitter will always be between a rock and a hard place, because one
can be certain that there will be folks who will find new ways to take

Jesse,
I'd love for Doug or Alex to get into this discussion, but I suppose it's
not up for discussion it would seem.

Caliban I agree - I'm simply proposing that my solution for follow limits is
at least a little better for users than what Twitter is currently doing.
What is being done currently hurts the legitimate users more than it
Can someone tweet a summery to @abraham? :-P
Thanks,

Let's discuss the follow limits. I feel, as developer of a tool that
allows people to auto-follow, I have a bit of insight into this. While

The summary is
I propose that the follow limits be dependent on whether a user is following
