Just a few minutes ago, got a new background at twitter! Got tired of the old one, and I found this one and liked it. Very patriotic. Check out my new background at http://twitter.com/iowadawg (follow me if you are not yet).

And I got it free! Go to this site, Twitter Gallery, and see their big selection of free backgrounds. Sure to be one for every taste.

It was a quick and easy way through them to change my background. I just selected the one I wanted and then inputted my twitter username and twitter password. They did it automatically so I did not have to go to the trouble of downloading the background and then uploading it via twitter. So it is an easy and quick way to get yourself a new twitter background.

Oh, unlike a few free twitter background sites I have found, they do not put a logo, a link to their site, or watermarked my new background. Nice and clean design.

You can advertise on their site, just click on the advertise button and pay the piddly sum they require. Need exposure for your twitter site? Or maybe your business? Then do advertise on this site soon.

At Twitter Gallery, if you do not want one of their free backgrounds, they will design a background just for you. Price is on par with other designers, so you are not paying a premium here.

Really, do go by their site, even if at present you do not want a background. It is there for your use, both now and later.

No, this is not a post about those who are the most followed on twitter, those will hundreds of thousands of followers. I could care less about celebrities or some media company. This post is actually about a free service I am going to be trying out.

It is said to be a way to become one of those most followed on twitter. Doubt if it really will pan out, but for free, I will at least check it out. Again a disclaimer: I really do not like schemes to get followers on twitter. Simply because most do not pan out or they fill you up with spammers, scammers and porn hustlers. I am trying out this service to let you know if it helps me or hurts me.

Now, the basic way this works? Like any good old pyramid scheme. I get five people who follow me who then get 5 people to follow them and so forth down 5 levels. This will or should get me 19,530 followers. Now I have to say, pyramid schemes sound good on paper, but you never see those kinds of numbers. So bottom line for me, just to see what happens. Same with you, if you want to join this scheme to get twitter followers try it and see.

Oh, when you give them your twitter username and password, they will auto tweet an ad for you to get your followers to see the message and join as your unique url will be used.

So in the future, if you do not like the service for any reason, do what I will do: change your password at twitter. That way this service will not be able to access your account anymore. Just to be on the safe side.

Now go and check them out like I did, no obligation to join. Most Followed on Twitter.

Second update: Just stopped my subscription to this service. If you joined as free, you are getting nothing. If you joined for the $1.00 trial, I would tell you to cancel it before the 14 days are up or you will pay $37 just for a service that is in my opinion lousy and certainly not worth $37 a month!

UPDATE: Okay, 3 days later, grand total of 40 followers! So how come people tweet out they are getting 350 per day? Are the stretching the truth? Or is this site do the stretching? Or maybe to get more followers than I have gotten one must pay the full $37 a month? Either way, it does not seem to live up to their and others hype! Another thing I have noticed, I am following people through them that NEVER follow me. Plus I have noticed that most of those people this service sends me, both as followers and following, are just in this program to promote this program on twitter. So, is it worth it? HELL NO! I will be discontinuing my trial of $1.00 before my paypal account is snagged for a $37 payment for nothing. Lesson I learned? If it sounds too good to be true, run away and save time and money.

First a disclaimer from the Iowadawg: I avoid all those follower schemes that promise me hundreds of new followers per day, or thousands, or pick a figure. Mainly for two reasons, one that I am not into numbers (quantity) but into quality of my followers. And two most of those schemes load you up with spammers and porn people, two classes I do not need, either following me or me following them. Now with that said, I found this one today and I am going to be trying it out for a week or so just to see what I get. So don’t call me a hypocrite. Fool maybe, but not that!

This one says you will get lots of followers, no mention I could find of a number, and you can make cash promoting it. Though I could not find what kind of cash you get for doing so. It works a bit on the simple side, you login with your twitter username and password (gawd I hate to do that, but I will to test this system…though if it does not work I will have to change my twitter password to stop this system from accessing my account, something you should keep in mind if you join also). Then you follow everyone now in their system and everyone will follow you. Okay, here goes, I am back to the site now to login and find out. The site is Twitter Followers Users.

OH OKAY! IF YOU DO NOT PAY, YOU DO NOT FOLLOW ANYONE OR GET ANY FOLLOWERS! NO NEED TO STAY FREE. I WILL PAY THE FREAKING ONE DOLLAR THEN. THEY SHOULD POINT THIS FACT UP FRONT! THAT NO PAY, NO WORK!!!!!

What’s up with birds that follow you automatically because you happened to mention a brand name?

And what about birds that follow you just so you might follow them back and learn about their multi-level-marketing schemes?

And geez, some birds never tweet at all!

Can a real person actually follow 700 people? The Nest Unclutterer protects your privacy from marketers and businesses by blocking followers who are already following too many people.
