Examples of Usage

Some smarter strategy for searching your (or anyone else's) account, may prove to be useful.

Here are some examples of some of the ways in which FollowUp can be used.

 

Example 1: Search for followers, who you don't follow back:

if you fail to follow back someone who follows you, you risk to lose them, when they realise and unfollow you. This is particularly true, if there is a mutual 'FB' tag, in both your profiles.

For example, if you have the tag #FBPE (Follow Back Pro Europe), in your profile, it is good to search for anyone of your followers who, also, has the #FBPE tag,in their profile.

In this case, you should look for accounts amongst your 'Followers', who include that tag. So, fill in your own account in the first field, make sure that 'Followers' is checked and /Includes the text' is, also, selected. Fill in #FBPE in the search field and select 'Not Following Back', where it appears.

Click the 'FollowUp' button and the results will only include those who follow you and have #FBPE in their profile but you do not follow back. This way, you can click on their avatar or name and open a new tab on their profile, so you can decide whether you want to follow them back, based on what you learn from seeing the number of their tweets, followers and friends (those they are following), looking at their tweets and seeing that they truly believe in the sort of things you believe in or are a worthy opponent in any debate. If all they can do is insult those who are like-minded to you, it is, perhaps best to assume they are a troll or even a bot and either not follow them or even, block them. If they are breaking the rules of Twitter, you can even report them.

Example 2: Search for friends, who don't follow you back, inspite of saying they will.

Generally speaking, the use of a mutual 'FB' tag,such as #FBPE, is a kind of undertaking that, if you follow them, they will follow you back, if at all possible.

Bearing in mind that not all accounts are free to do this, because of Twitter limits, some may simply be unable to follow back.You should always check if the account is following close to or more than 5000 accounts. In that case, it is possible that they are waiting to get more folowers, so that they can get over the Twitter limit. Then, they should be given a let off, because not following back may not be in their power.

Example 3: You want to see if you have a follower but you only know thir name or some other keyword, to identify them.

Just leave the 'Follow Back' option as 'Both' and add the word to your search parameter. So, if you want to find everyone called Dave and is in the labour party, type in 'Dave' and 'labour' into the search term field. In the drop-down, select 'Inc. all words'.

The result will be all people who are both 'Dave' and mention 'labour', in their profile, somewhere.
