Hello to all, Justin here,

Do you want to know how to get Twitter followers on auto-pilot?  Would you be surprised if I said it only took a few minutes to set up?

If this is just what you for looking for continue reading the rest of this post as I’m going to showcase for you the one Twitter application that is second-to-none when it comes to managing all aspects of your Twitter account – Tweet Adder.

I won’t deny that it seems like there are new Twitter applications being born every single day.  It’s mind-boggling trying to make sense of the stuff out there half of the time.

However even with all the new applications being developed, and trust me I’ve tested a good share of them, Tweet Adder still comes out #1 in my book.

I’m sure you want to know why, right?

What sets Tweet Adder apart from all the other Twitter software and applications that I’ve tried is that it can basically automate every single aspect of Twitter all from within the comfort of your desktop.

When I first began my journey to automate the functions of Twitter, I tested out several applications (some free and some paid) before deciding once and for all on Tweet Adder.

The difference?

The other applications, although fine in their own respect, did not fully automate the Twitter experience for me, which is what I was after.  I was looking for a tool that I could press a button and have it run all day and all night on auto-pilot without me having to worry about a thing.  After testing the available applications, Tweet Adder was the one that remained standing.

So what can this application do, you ask?  If you can think it, it can probably do it.  Whether it is unfollowing people or following people, consider it done.  Want to send direct messages?  It can do that too, and much more.

How to Get Twitter FollowersAnd the great thing about the software is that you can test it out for free up to 250 auto follows/unfollows, so you can experience all that the tool has to offer.

With video tutorials explaining exactly how to use all of the software’s functions, I recommend giving Tweet Adder a try.

In addition, if you aren’t impressed with the application after testing it out, no worries.  You won’t be billed.  In all actuality, you can’t be billed as you never enter your credit card to gain access to the free trial.

But if you are like me, I’m quite confident that you will be impressed with all the time you can save while implementing all that Tweet Adder can do to make your Twitter experience all the more streamline.

If you test it out, I would very much appreciate you leaving your comments here to share with others.

Wishing you all the best,

Justin

If you’re new to Twitter or have an account but just haven’t put it to good use listen up as I’ve got some tips for you on how to get Twitter followers, and not just any followers but followers who will be interested in what you have to say on the micro-blogging platform.

1. Promote Intriguing Content

This may go without saying however the more often you tweet, naturally the more followers you will receive. And to do this you don’t need to create your own content if you don’t want to. One of the quickest ways is to share worthwhile articles and blog posts that you find online written by others.

2. Look for Highly Rated Twitter Users to Follow

Not sure how to tell who is worthy of following and who is not? One way is to look for Twitter users who are being followed by many but who aren’t following people themselves. The larger the disparity between followers and people following, more likely than not the more influential that Twitter user is.

Another way to determine whether a person is worthy to follow or not is to refer to the number of lists that the individual is apart of. The higher the number, the higher the chance of the person being influential.

3. Be Yourself

To increase your number of followers, being personal goes a long way. It’s really all about establishing a connection with them, which means that you don’t upload a random picture as your Twitter avatar but rather use a head shot for people to identify with you. The rule of transparency should be adhered to at all times possible.

4. Focus on Keyword-Rich Content

The name of the game to be found by others really boils down to “keyword-rich content”. What this means is making sure your Twitter profile and tweets are optimized correctly for being found by others searching for certain key phrases and words on Twitter.

What you do want to avoid those is a practice known as “keyword stuffing”, which means that your profile and/or tweets become unreadable due to having too many of your keywords strung next to one another.

A good point to remember is to keep a good balance between legibility and enriched keywords.

5. Allow Leeway for Retweets

Another way to increase your following on Twitter is to have your tweets retweeted by others. If you provide good content, people will pick it up and spread the word about it to their friends and followers. But in order for this to happen, there has to be enough space in your original tweet for the characters “RT” (retweet) and your Twitter name to be inserted by another Twitter user. Therefore as a rule to follow, I would advise against maximizing out your 140 character space and instead limit yourself to about 120 characters.

As there are many tips and tricks of the trade when it comes to Twitter and tweeting, hopefully this will give you a start in the right direction when it comes to getting Twitter followers.

For those of you who are not familiar with the history of the micro-blogging site Twitter, here’s an abbreviated version for you.

It all began in 2005 with a podcasting company called Odeo Corp. Unfortunately for Odeo Corp., Apple decided to include podcasting within its iTunes mainframe, which basically destroyed any plans for Odeo Corp.’s planned service.

Looking back things couldn’t have worked out any better as even the Odeo employees weren’t listening to podcasts as much as they thought that they would when the originally thought of the service.

Realizing that the company need to re-strategize, the group headed by Noah Glass, Jack Dorsey, and Evan Williams spent a few months from the end of 2005 to spring of 2006 developing a service that used SMS to tell small groups about what you were doing.

The creation of Twitter or TWTTR (at the time) became official on March 21, 2006 as Odeo employees used the service internally. However it wasn’t until July 15, 2006 that the full version of Twitter was introduced publicly for the first time when TechCrunch published news about the service.

Within a couple of months, users were in the thousands and even Odeo’s own employees were racking up SMS bills in the hundreds of dollars every month due to extensive use.

What launched Twitter’s popularity was the South by Southwest (SXSW) conference in Austin, Texas in 2007. The amount of tweets being sent increase three-fold from 20,000 to 60,000 per day after the conclusion of the conference.

This figure ballooned to more than 100 million tweets per quarter in 2008 and skyrocketed to more than 50 million tweets per day in February 2010.

As for some interesting tidbits about the most tweeted events in history, first place is owned by the 2011 FIFA Women’s World Cup Final between Japan and the United States. On average, 7,196 tweets per second were sent. The next closest event was Japan’s win over Denmark in the 2010 World Cup in South Africa. On average, 3,283 tweets per second were sent.

As you might be wondering how Twitter (TWTTR) got its name, it has been said that it was inspired by Flickr and the five-character length of American SMS short codes.

What solidified the name was the definition of Twitter, which is know as ‘a short burst of inconsequential information,’ and also ‘chirps from birds’.

I’m sure most can agree that the name fits the young five year old service quite well.  In only five short years, Twitter has definitely come a long way to be a very integral part of our lives.  We can all thank the members of Odeo for that.
