Day 4

Humminigbird: Same routine with Hummingbird. It really only takes just a bit of my time. But I’m realizing that some of the gurus I have followed now have less followers than me, So it’s harder to get a straight shot at them. I’m going to the smaller guys to follow them. It means I’m spending a little extra time (okay only a minute) to follow more.

Bottom line? 1.03% upwards change in followers since yesterday and 1.17% since we began. This looks like it’s staying the same, but really even though the daily percent is the same, the actual numbers went up, since the percentage was based on a larger number now.

Tweet Elite Pro: I didn’t do anything to it. I did however look at some of the other features (this is the most feature-rich of the programs) and played around with the “Tweet RSS Feeds” section. I didn’t think it would be fair to start up a whole set of different Tweets, so I’m mostly looking. You can set up feeds similar to Twitterfeed or Friendfeed. Directions seem very similar. You set the frequency that it checks the rss feed and when you want it to start. Only thing is you have no choice on the number of updates – it’s set to five AND it plops five updates all at once. That’s kinda bad. If they just could figure out a way to space those out, it would be great. Or to have you choose the number of updates, because I would tell you to not do too many or you will be considered a spammer. One update every six hours? Probably okay. If you did five all within an hour once a week, probably okay, but if it was five all at once four times a day, probably too much. Obviously nothing to do with this head to head, but bonus information for you at no extra cost.

Bottom line? 1.36% upwards change in followers since yesterday and 7.55% since we began. Percentages are high because this account had slightly lower numbers to start out with, but in actual numbers Tweet Elite Pro so far has followed almost as much as both the other two combined. Probably, because it’s always running except during it’s sleep phase. The program, to simulate a human being (a human being with no life except Twitter) works all day long and then shuts down for several hours.

Twitter Snipe: Every now and again I have to set it up to Re-Snipe. I’m having it do 500 requests each snipe. So with 30 sec between each that should be about two hours. I check it and start it again, as long as I don’t hit a Twitter follow limit. In which case. Once a day before I start Sniping, I do an unfollow request. Since it doesn’t do that automatically. I’ve just been keeping a window open and the computer running, so it keeps going.

Bottom line? 1.06% upwards change in followers since yesterday and 1.2% since we began.

All three speeded up this day, probably because they all got past some Twitter barriers. I tell you satisfaction-wise, even though Hummingbird is not getting as many people, everytime I run it – it seems to go fast. Even when it has stopped following people because of some limit in Twitter, it looks like it’s still moving. It’ll go through every person in the list until it hits the end. It’s like it doesn’t want to give up. Tweet Elite has the highest numbers so far, but I rarely see it. It’s set it and go. But I still have trouble with the fact that once Hummingbird or TwitterSnipe finish, I can go to another account and do the same thing with that account. With Tweet Elite, I’m still stuck with the one account. Don’t know why, but that bugs me. Especially since many people have more than one Twitter Account. I wonder if they will ever change that? With Hummingbird there is a cool feature (which I don’t think the other two have- or at least I don’t see it if they do it) I can set it so that I can see all of the people I’ve unfollowed before in anyone’s list of followers. And the program can be set to not follow them again. Good if you want to not be considered a spammer. I would think that could be a future issue for both TwitterSnipe and Tweet Elite, if they are unfollowing and then trying to refollow someone based on real time keyword use.

It’s getting interesting – Only a few more days left.  check out the exact article here Showdown

UPDATE-Tweet Elite Pro can now use multiple accounts - You can now build one account up then switch to another account and build that up and so on. It uses the same database so their are no duplicate followers.
