LOL. I have a Mac I love. Unfortunately most of the tools of this trade require Windows. Some of us do use a Mac with virtualization for Windows on top. But then all the same problems exist in that layer.

I use Followliker and TweetDemon, and recent updates are getting refused by my installation of Microsoft Security Essentials (it's an anti-virus/basic security package from Microsoft). It's saying they contain "severe" risk trojans. At first I just thought maybe there were some false positives...

Update: as of 10:38AM Pacific, i can now successfully get to the app, and the forum.

Hmm. I can't auth to either server 1 or server 2 (though server 2 seems to think a little longer on it). To be safe, I recommend not quitting your active session.

As of 7:50AM Pacific, Feb 12, Tweetdemon is down again for me, both the forum and application.

As of 9:38PM, Pacific, access to forum and app is working again for me.

Down for me, too. Both the app and the forum.

as of 10:15PM pacific, i can login to TD client, and forum.

You just did. It may be tempting to rush and post a bunch of random stuff, but that can backfire. Posts have to be natural, on-topic for the thread, and useful to the community. Take your time, lurk, learn the local customs, and have fun. If you have an emergency need to contact somebody, reply...

Not working for me, either. Though authenticating with server 2 gets further than server 1. Slightly unrelated: when did the TD forum go away, just recently along with the TD downtime?

If you block a follower, it forces them to unfollow you. If you're mostly worried about the cosmetic issue, just blocking the most recent 30 or so will leave your (more recent) followers "on top" of your follower pile, and visually will look more natural. As others have said, most people don't...

Update: Instagram has confirmed there was a glitch yesterday afternoon/evening. This was not a Terms of Service/Spam dragnet. Regular, non-commercial accounts were caught by this. If BH people did too, it's just coincidence. http://help.instagram.com/165012027001436

if you search twitter, a lot of innocent, non-commercial Instagram users are getting their accounts deleted today. (i see a lot of teenagers for example) it's possible your account wasn't targeted at all. it's possible this is a bug. i'm looking for more info.

While the API limits put a squeeze on one method, the increasing utility of a Instagram's web version makes web-scraping an increasingly viable option for monitoring/stats/automation.

Redox123, what is this quoted from? A support ticket email?

That would be cool. I've stopped and started so many bad Twitter scripts (I'm no developer). I always stall out crawling github, choosing the best Twitter library. Do you have a github? Or... maybe all of us on here should have separate/anonymous bhw githubs. ;)

It depends on how many accounts you want it to manage: $55 (for just one) $74 (5 profiles) $110 (10 profiles) $188 (unlimited) If you're managing a large number of accounts, add-in cost of either buying proxies, or finding/scraping free ones from somewhere. (Though your use-case sounds...

This is my interpretation of what's going on: Twitter (sometime in November from the data points I've gathered) tuned its definition of "rapid following churn" (basically following a lot of people, and (usually) unfollowing a portion of them. Multiple people have reported getting suspended...

You never know. Depends on your method. But yeah. If it's spray + pray CPA/affiliate, then its time has probably passed.

That's too bad. I was hopeful. In this Twitter case study, the user paid 30 cents/follower, got 1300 real, targeted followers in two months. Guess it was cherry-picked. https://business.twitter.com/en/smallbiz/successstories/rukes/
