Guido and Iain Dale are upset that I am the most followed political twitterer. So they are saying that my account is suspended, which it isn't. Partly this is due to their obsessiveness about me and the success of LabourList but surely it's also a touch of jealousy...
(PS They seem to think that me following people to see if they want to follow me is somehow untoward. Why? Following people who have an interest in politics seems sensible, and if they CHOOSE to follow me, that's great. Plus, most of my followers didn't come this way, they are completely organic, and the number grows daily. Also, they say I couldn't possibly be following all those people so I "don't understand the internet". But actually I have a search function that alerts me to any one of the people I follow twittering about certain topics, so while obviously I don't follow nearly 3000 people every day I do keep a track of what they are saying about the things I'm interested in. Isn't that the point ? Or maybe Guido and Iain "don't get Twitter?":)

ReplyDeleteYou were suspended by Twitter for breaching the Terms of Service which prevent abuse - in your case "aggressive following". Stop spinning.
