It's boring and it's a waste of web space! I'm going to discuss what can't be found on the Tweet Adder site, namely: how not to get suspended, and a comparison of the software with my previous Twitter client.
How to avoid being suspended
The software has very specific settings for all its functions. So for example, you can set the number of seconds delay between sending out messages, follows, followbacks or unfollows. It also offers a lot of statistics about your twitter campaign that can help you decide on what needs to be changed about it to better fit the goals of your campaign, whether you're a social networker, e-marketer, promoter, or whatever else. I'm going to discuss configuring it to avoid suspension.
Some people complain that Tweet Adder can get your account suspended easier than other software, but when I hear about this, it becomes apparent that the person just hasn't configured it to stick to the rules. For whatever reason, one of the default settings is a following/follower ratio of 1.5: 1, which is fine for the first 2000 people you follow. After this the Twitter rules change and you need to change this ratio to 1.1: 1. (some people say it's safer to use 1.08: 1, but I've never had a problem with 1.1: 1). Being able to set this ratio is an incredibly useful feature of the software, just be sure to change that ratio!
Secondly, a lot of people get suspended for 'aggressive following'. The problem is that no-one really knows what qualifies as 'aggressive'. The general rule seems to be don't auto-follow/followback more than 1 person per minute and you'll be fine. In truth, I'm sure you could get away with following faster than this, but why risk it? This is the main reason people using Tweet Adder get their accounts suspended, the software will let you follow as fast as 1 per second!
Tweet Adder vs. Tweet Tank
I started off in the Twitterverse using Tweet Tank as my client, it also had a lot of positive reviews, but frankly I should have done more research, because Tweet Adder is better than it in nearly every way, in these ways in fact:
Firstly, Tweet Adder has a lot more statistics, and with the 'history' button you can check details about follows sent, unfollows, messages sent and updates. Tweet Tank's limited stats weren't even accurate a lot of the time. One of the most useful stats is the list of people to follow back and unfollow, which I've found to remain accurate.
Secondly, Tweet Adder has far more specific settings. Tweet Tank will only let you adjust its settings by minutes, rather than seconds.
Thirdly, Tweet Tank had a tendency to send the same DMs to the same people, which will get you put on spam lists, and if enough people do this, you'll get your account suspended. Tweet Adder removes people from the message list after sending them a DM, and only adds them again when every follower has been sent one, so no repeats.
Fourthly, unlike Tweet Tank, Tweet Adder will save the user IDs of people you ask it to follow across sessions. It's never caused a problem for me reloading these lists when I re-open it.
Fifthly, unlike Tweet Tank, Tweet Adder can automate nearly every task for you with the settings you assign it! You just open the software, and off it goes, following, following back, unfollowing and DMing all at once if you wish. This is a real time saver, and a great way to manage multiple accounts.
Conclusion
There are some very simple steps, such as those discussed, that should ensure you avoid suspension, it's just a case of some users leaving some important stats on their default settings when they need to be changed.
There are plenty of reasons why this is the most popular Twitter client on the net. I haven't had any problems using this software so far and particularly rate the number of stats and the specifics of the settings.
Oh yeah, and apparently it's 'voted the best Tweet adder software', which doesn't surprise me.
