I've been using the BountyFollowers service on several Twitter accounts for a few months now. I don't mind checking in every 6 hours and adding 10 new followers each time. For better feeds (and less spam) I also mute pretty much the majority of followers that I add through this service.
Although lately I find it's been playing up. On one account a few weeks ago, the add new followers page kept suggesting the same 10 twitter users, even though I had already added them. I thought maybe it was an issue with my cookies or my cache and cleared/refreshed both, but it was only on one account. Logging in to a different account and doing the add new followers worked fine.
Now, just today, I find that Twitter has suspended the Bounty Followers twitter account (inactive since late last year) and that you can't add new followers nor reconnect / login and authorize Bounty Followers to access your Twitter account. When I attempt to join with Twitter to link BountyFollowers to my account, I get the following message:
It looks like Twitter have found out about it and stopped the service.
Hopefully the developers will create a new one and reintroduce it. This was apparently only a beta version.
