Sad history of Twitter follow software

There are many Twitter follow-unfollow applications available. Some of them simply the bots that parse and interact with Twitter pages but some used Twitter API. Long time Twitter was very soft with his follow unfollow automation policy and only last days his politic was changed. Follow-Unfollow automation fully prohibited. Accounts that used some third party or home written software using Twitter API were suspended. Accounts that was mass created and related by email were suspended too.

Moral: if you decided to be bad, be really bad — don’t use official API to write bots.
