As the title indicates, this post is going to outline why Twollow sucks. You can choose to use Twollow if you want. You shouldn’t be ashamed. I certainly use services that suck. But, just set your expectations from the beginning. If you would like to further investigate Twollow, you can do so at www.Twollow.com (nofollowed).
First, what is Twollow? It’s one of the first services that allowed automated Twitter following. At one time, it seemed all of the A-List Twitter bloggers were using it and promoting it. Apparently, a large number of Twitter users still employ the service today. In Twollow’s on words:
Find & Follow People On Twitter by Keywords. Gain targeted followers!
Oh and I bet they won’t include www.smoblogger.com on this list that appears on twollow.com:
As seen on Mashable, KillerStartups, and AskDaveTaylor!
I fell for the Twollow “Bronze” service which as you can see from the price points above, it’s the cheapest. I foolishly paid the annual price of 79.99 thinking I would be saving money. I just happily went along with all of the A-Listers and trusted them.
Quickly, I received about 2000 followers related to my keywords. I was loving it. Then, something happened and everything just went dead. I was stuck at 2000. Why could I no longer get followers? I contacted Twollow support over and over and over and received one response initially, but then radio silence afterwards.
I made this final plea:
Final request. Twollow has not been working for me on my account [removed for privacy]. The info was sent. The transfer has not been made. I’ve sent numerous requests to support asking for help. No response. Please let me know something by tomorrow or I’m out.
Normally, when I purchase a product or service that fails to deliver as advertised, I dispute it with my card company and usually get a refund. I kept holding out for Twollow because of those darn A-Listers, I guess. Still want to believe this product works. But, it doesn’t.
Here’s my satire of the Twollow features:

Nice post i haven’t tried that service yet. Like the way you mention it thanks
Yeah, i’ve been disappointed, since realising that quality relationships are often better than quality. I’m trying to cancel by 5.99 a month or whatever it is. I have sent an email requested, not sure if this has been actioned. Anyone know how the easiest way to cancel.

@ David Personally, I would give Twollow on final email giving them seven days. If ya haven’t heard anything gor for a chargeback with your card company.
