Twitter is one of the fastest growing social networks on the Internet today. The website offers a microblogging and social networking service that is based on individual user messages called Tweets. The service can be used on personal computers, laptops, and mobile devices and allows users to follow friends or people they find interesting. A common problem that Twitter users face is automatically following their followers. Use a third party application or website such as SocialOomph.com to solve this problem.

Step 6 – Select “Accounts” on the web page and click “Add Twitter Account.”

Step 7 – If you are already logged into Twitter, select “Permit Access.” If you are not, you will need to enter your Twitter username and password.
