I Received Schooled by Two Dutch Guys

Over just a few glasses of dutch wine, a very posh Amsterdam wine bar with some attractive Dutch new Media types. I bought my eyes opened about Twitter. I have been a blogger and active internet user for years, i do even dable within the evil fb and slightly in Twitter.

You then get your Twitter bot to unfollow solely the folks that are not following you back. Hans additionally instructed me that he has a Twitter tool that creates new twitter accounts automatically.
