I’ve been playing the tw@tter game for a while now and I thought I’d try to explain what happens once you follow 5,000 other accounts.

The key is 10%

Once you have followed 5,000 accounts you will not be allowed to follow more until your followers are within 10%. ie 4,500 followers.

If you want to follow more accounts to get follow backs you need to go through who you follow and unfollow any accounts that haven’t followed you back.

Are you still with me?

This is how you work it out.

Go into your calculator .

Say you have 4,640 followers.

4,640 + 10%

464 =

5,104.

You can follow 5,104 accounts.

Say you have 8,167 followers

8,167 + 10%

816 =

8,993

You can follow 8,993 other accounts.

Hope that helps someone.
