TwitterHIT Help

Q: No results are returned when I search

There are two reasons that this may have happened. Reason one is that you have choses too restrictive search words. The other is that you may not be able to add any more people to your profile. Twitter has a restriction of 2000 that you can follow.

Resolution

Choose less restrictive search words, or in the case of Twitter blocking you, wait until you have more followers. As a rule, Twitter only allows you to add 2000 people before it starts restricting you - then you can only add up to 10% more people than follow you. So if you have 3000 followes, you can follow 3300 people back! Another solution is to delete the users you follow that haven't followed you back.

Q: I have subscribed but nothing has happened.

We are in Beta, so we're testing. There could be a bug.

Resolution

Let us know as soon as possible! Send us an email to twitterhit [at] densys.co.uk and we'll add you manually.
