There’s a tool called Synnd that gets you free social bookmarks coming from usernames owned by other people, meaning as long as you (and/or your computer) are bookmarking other Synnd members’ content, you can have Synnd members give you as many bookmarks as you’d like.

Comment on My Twitter account has been suspended! by Andrew McDonough

Andrew McDonough — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 09:23:25 +0000

Sorry to hear your account was suspended. Did you ever get it back? Would you mind telling us how many followings you were churning through each day? I think that everyone with a more than modest following uses some techniques. Twitter’s idea that you should only use following if you are interested is unrealistic. If they actually believed that, they would restrict all followings to 200 users.

The problem with the “clamping down” is that they don’t actually define the limits of “aggressive following”. Some accounts seem to have been suspended for doing very little, whereas some bigger names can behave however they want. This clampdown also cements the early users who used these techniques as ‘untouchable’, and makes it very difficult for those who come later to join them with big followings. Of course Twitter do need to do something about spam, but I’d prefer them to concentrate on eliminating users who just republish the RSS feeds of others to look as if they have something to say. If you’re taking time to write about a certain topic regularly, I think it’s fair to actively look for a following.
