Thread: Is their a limit in following people in twitter?

I wonder if their is a limit in following people to twitter like for a day how much is allowed as it wont look like a spam already?

Twitter has imposed limits on people whom you will follow. You will only be allowed to follow 2,000 users. The moment that you have exceeded this limit, you will receive an error message. As of the moment, how many had you followed in the twitter?

yes u can not follow more than 2000 peoples on twitter

I think we can have more then 2000 followers. I can't not understand what to do if I want to have more followers?

To be honest, it's mostly all spam isn't it? Beyond following a certain number of people (100-200 imho) you can't possibly keep up with many streams of information.

Here's an original idea: Be worthy of following.

Why would anyone who doesn't know you from Adam want to follow you on Twitter? Do you post interesting things? Do you post garbage? Do you post about what you are eating, what you are doing, who you are doing it to, when you're doing it? Do you retweet useful information? Do you do the same stuff as everyone else? Are you extraordinary or extraordinarly boring?

A few examples:
Actor Stephen Fry: following 52,683 followers 2,496,678

Illusionist Derren Brown: following 19 followers 720,428

Photographer Benoit Paillé following 13 followers 1,099

Camera manufacturer Hasselblad following 37 followers 1,105

Comedian Louis CK following 0 followers 406,035

Web Design company 22i Design following147 followers 172

Journalist Johann Hari following 571 followers 57,616

Web Pro PMRoss following 1,319 followers 1,754




My advice to you: be fucking amazing.

If anyone follows me on twitter i can be 99.9% sure it's some smarmy web-type following me only because I follow a better class of web type, in the hope I follow them back. Yes, spam; I rarely tweet; I wouldn't follow me if I didn't know me!

If you want more followers, best to be a leader not a follower.

Twitter is very big community and have some condition. Following peoples limit is a condition.

More followers on Twitter (how to guide).

Step 1:

Unwittingly tweet about a raid on the world's most wanted man.

Step 2:

Every account can follow 2,000 users total. Once you’ve followed 2,000 users, there are limits to the number of additional users you can follow. This number is different for each account and is based on your ratio of followers to following; this ratio is not published. Follow limits cannot be lifted by Twitter and everyone is subject to follow limits, even high profile and API accounts.In addition to this account-based limit, every Twitter account is technically unable to follow more than 1,000 users per day. Please note that this is just a technical limit to prevent egregious abuse from spam accounts.

don't think there is a limit on how many people can follow you but yes there is a limit on how many people you can follow. i'd build up cool content on your feed. more people will follow you that way.

there's no exact limit in following people in twitter.... some follow new 20 twitterers and then get suspended, while others can follow more than 100 a day without being suspended.
i think a new account is more vulnerable to get suspension when following people aggressively, but that's not mean an old account is always safe to follow as much as it can be.... some of twitter accounts with thousands followers and following are also being suspended too.
so, my suggestion here is, use twitter naturally, it will more safe in long-term.

I don't think there is a threshold you can overcome or hit with following people on Twitter. If a limit is hit though, Twitter can easily lift the limits to avoid any conflicting technical issues.
