“Growing followers day by day” seems to be the major concern of people on Twitter right now: a survey I have just done indicates that 41% of people are looking for ways to increase their followers daily and this interest is even bigger than “How to monetize Twitter” that has drifted to 36% while being the foremost interest up to a couple of weeks ago. Still 39.5% ofm people indicate that they are looking to “Being able to attract more followers”.

The best tool I have found so far for managing your followers is Hummingbird by Twitaddict. This is NOT a product for spammers that will create a whole bunch fake accounts and will use them to blast people with commercial messages (tweets). It is NOT even a system that will grow your followers on autopilot or that will make you money overnight. I have been using it for over 3 months now and compared it to other software and systems and I still find it the best.
…
It is simply a way for automatizing those tasks that you would perform on your own, particularly following and unfollowing tweeple (people on Twitter) and finding targeted followers.
…
…
The program is amazingly simple: you create a profiles for each Twitter account you want to manage and then you go to your Twitter home page where you do everything you could do within your browser but with some automatic function.
…
You can first of all define your VIP’s, the people you will keep following no matter what, wether they follow you back or not. Then you can go on the home page fo any other interesting person on Twitter and follow all the people that he is following or that follow him/her. Hummingbird will automatically follow one person at a time until it reaches the last page or uintil you hit your following limit.
…
It will then color code people according to their status in relation to you: green for those that you follow and have followed back, light blue for VIP’s, white for those that you follow but haven’t followed you back, and more.
…
…
You can also do searches for keywords and follow those people that are connected with those keywords.
…
Twitter limits the number of people you can follow in proportion to how many follow you therefore you need to un-follow those that do not reciprocate if you want to grow your follower’s list initially. Hummingbird can unfollow automatically all those that don’t follow you back and it puts them into a database (marking them red) so that you don’t follow them again in the future.
…
A very effective tool that can save you many hours and build you a strong following. You need to pay for it, but it’s worth it.

Again, another appl. without thought of making it for Macs! Arg. I’ll guess i’ll just have to wait for the native mac app. Think of all the sales they are losing because they don’t think about the mac population.
