Five reasons to get kicked out from Twitter

                              Five reasons to get kicked out from Twitter

Yes, there are 500 million users, and yes,  your customers are there.  But there are several things that could annoy twitter users.   Opening up a twitter account today and want to have 1000s of followers tomorrow, as a result,  people start following people crazy. 1000 following and 5 followers would not impress anyone .  Of course, if you are celebrity the ratio will be vice versa.  Social media is fun, in order to retain the fun, Twitter places curbs and restrictions on all its users to follow and abide by the following Twitter restrictions.  

1. Age limit: In order to use the Twitter site, the user must be 13 years or older and the user is solely responsible for any activity that occurs under his/her screen name 
2. Updates: 1000 total updates per day (including Retweets) from all devices
3. Direct Messages: 140 character limit per tweet and 250 tweets per day on all devices
4. API requests: 150 API rate limits per hour/day including TweetDeck and TWhirl. For the purpose of dynamically rating the APIs, Twitter fixed uptime 350 API rate limit for Football World Cup 2010 and now it has reduced it to 175 due to capacity issues including a extensive downtime (Fail Whale) and in the coming months Twitter is planning to increase the rate limits for API calls periodically.
5. Changes to Account Email: 4 per hour
6. Following: 2000 people per day normally wherein Twitter adopts aggressive rules in follower-to-following ratio. In addition to this, Twitter restricts Twitter accounts that is technically unable to follow more than 1,000 users per day to prevent abuse from spam accounts

Twitter or any other social media sites are certainly a good way to make connection and promote stuff.  However, that needs to happen organically.  Not aggressively.  Building trust, establishing credibility and becoming a thought leader in something will make your social media strategy efficient and effective. Buying list and using unlawful tools to get followers may not do a whole lot of good for your business or you in long term.  The development of twitter is really amazing, let’s respect it and tweet happily.
