Ive been using Tweet Adder here and there with some success. I still mostly like manually adding based on "Who To Follow" and Twiangulate Lists with the Klout Chrome plugin.

The reason for this publishers don't need to close high ticket sales in order to get credited for a conversion. It's definitely the next level of affiliate marketing!

I do think that 3 days is a little premature to unfollow somebody. Maybe once a month, but really if you're following people automatically because of keywords that people tweet, that's a little bit like spamming. Not really an authentic way to build a following. Clients always want fast results when they cut a check for marketing. If they really want the fast and easy they should either invest in pay per click or tv/radio that is targeted. If you want to build a brand that lasts permanently you have to build relationships with your customers which social media is great at, but think about it... what if your auto-follow tool accidentally followed your best customer and then unfollowed them when they didn't reciprocate? Not good. These tools have a place and that place is for people who genuinely want to find other people who are interested in certain topics for the purpose of creating genuine relationships. If you just want a lot of followers so you can spam them, then buy an email list.

If you want to use it as a communication tool, then I think automation tools are crap. If you're looking to show off how tech savvy you are and how many people you can get to follow you, then go ahead, by all means use the twitter tools. My thing is, I would rather have people follow me that actually want to follow me. I could care less about numbers. If I have one person following me and hanging on my every word, I would rather put my focus & energy into that person than waste my time wading through all the other people that don't care. Same thing on my end. Why should I clutter my feed with the tweets of people I really am just going to filter out anyways? Etiquette is the reason I hear most often thrown around, but honestly, if you're just following a person so they follow you back, it ends up being pointless anyways. How many times will you guys actually exchange useful communication? My guess is not too often. Just my two cents. Lindsay-

I didn't even know about it. I try to avoid the automated processes, but sometimes it can't be done. I do mine by hand, using a combination of Twiangulate, Text Wrangler, and TweepML. Ask me about it sometime, and I'll show you. It's actually quite cool. Nice tip about Tweet Adder. I didn’t even know about it. I try to avoid the automated processes, but sometimes it can’t be done.
