Twitter – How To Auto-Reply And Auto Follow

Posted on 07. Oct, 2008 by Brian Wong in Social Media

Firstly, for Non-Twitter Users:

I resisted it at first but now I find that I am a raving fan of Twitter. If you are not using Twitter yet, take my advice and just do it. Even if you don’t plan to Twitter much yet, just register to make sure you grab a user name that’s close to yours. You’ll thank me later for this piece of advice. So go ahead, create a Twitter account for free and “follow” a few active Twitter users to appreciate what it does.

Now for Twitter Users:

Have you ever noticed how when you “follow” certain Twitter users, you will get an immediate reply saying something like “Thanks for following me”. And also, you may find that these users also seem to immediately respond by “following” you too. Do you want to know how to do it too?

Chances are, these user are using a free service from http://www.tweetlater.com

This service allows you to do 3 things:

  1. Automatically respond to your followers with a personal message
  2. Automatically “follow” your “followers”
  3. Submit a Twitter message to be published at a later time

Twit Later

You can also manage multiple Twitter accounts from this site. For example if you have a Twitter Account for yourself and one for your business.

Follow me on Twitter to see a demo of how it works. You’ll get a reciprocal follow from me. :)

Thanks for this. I had set up a reply that I wanted to change, but couldn’t remember how I did it in the first place!

I manage two Twitter accounts (personal and business). I tried setting it up on my business account without luck. I then used your demo “Follow Me On Twitter” on my personal account – have yet to get the Direct Message from you – seems it’s not working either. Yet, a few days ago another Twitter account I began to follow did send me an automated direct reply – not sure if it was TweetLater he was using or not (which is what sparked my interest in the first place). Any ideas?

If you get an auto reply, its most likely from using Twitlater.

I was looking on how to do Twitter auto-reply and found this page from google. Thank you for the tips. I haven’t try that tweetlater.com and I heard there is another one called tweetmanager.com. Personally, I never try both of them.

Will the auto-reply not annoyed some people?

I do, specially when I try to follow many people and most of them have auto-reply. I get hundreds of direct messages daily.

If you have a pleasant auto-reply message without being spammy, people won’t mind or rather they may not know the difference.

Great tip, I'm using in my twitter account already.
Thanks!

Just have to be careful to not annoy followers with automated stuff like in this article: http://www.twitip.com/7-ways-to-be-worth-follow...
I took care to put a caring message and am gonna do everything as personal as possible.
