Anyone who uses Twitter will know about these #followback accounts that constantly tweet for more followers, telling you to 'retweet if you love music','retweet if you love Justin Bieber','retweet if you love life',etc,etc If you follow these numerous followback accounts you are promised hundreds and thousands of followers that never materialise. Apart from being annoying and cluttering up your stream of tweets,it spawns a host of liars. There are liars all over the world with #followback on their profile descriptions,suggesting that if you follow them,they will return the gesture. Having taken people up on their followback promise I have found that about 10-20% of people are true to their word while the other 80-90% accept the boost to their follower numbers and laugh at those stupid enough to go against the logic of human nature and accept their empty promise.
Another thing I have noticed is that most of the people that put #followback in their description are a bunch of brain dead, music career wannabes hawking their crappy music in a vain attempt to raise their profile. A lot of the #followback brigade are attention junkies looking for people to listen to their stupid,ill thought out ramblings and occasional Youtube videos showing their awful singing/rapping or MCing.
If you go down the #followback route of follower acquisition,beware and make sure you use the numerous 'unfollowed me' apps that allow you to get rid of those that are not following you. Nobody minds not being followed by the rich and famous but it grates a bit when teenage,feckless,talentless individuals try to insult your intelligence and take advantage of your good nature.Oh yeah one more thing.........#FOLLOWBACK!!!!!
