Twitter T&Cs
-
We're considering running a promotion to donate some cash to a charity for every new follower we gain during our user conference. Could this be considered buying followers, which could put our account at risk for closure?
-
I would think no, because you are not actually giving money to them. These kind of promotions are quite popular, I think if they were against Twitter TOS they would have been mentioned by now. (In reality isn't it basically the same as advertising on Twitter?) But also apps like rafflecopter are allowed which is in a sense buying follwers as well.

If you post on two Twitter accounts could be rated as duplicate content
I have a personal Twitter account which is building up, but I also have a Twitter account for my holiday letting agency and until now I’ve always separated the subject of the tweets and links to my websites but I’m using Buffer which automates your tweets in advance and so I included some of the links to my business holiday letting agency articles on my personal account and people seem to like them and have shared them, but is there any risks to doing that regarding duplicate type of content? At the end of the day some the people on my personal Twitter will be interested in my agency tweets about holiday accommodation, I just want to do anything which could be termed spam.

Twitter account that copies all your tweets
Hello I have this twitter account https://twitter.com/sabiastuque_ about curiosities and there is another twitter account https://twitter.com/sabiasundato_o that copies every single tweet i do at the moment. It is no tweet i made than they do not copy, i think there is something doing it because i think they dont even read them. They just dont copy the tweets that as mentions or link. It seems so like a machine!!! And after all of that they have 1,5 millon followers by copying everything from me and i have 1 millón Should i report that? How are they doing it? Is there any mirror or something?

My Twitter Username was CHANGED by Twitter!
My twitter user name australia was changed by twitter to Australia1_ My original user name has been given to Toursim Australia. I never saw any correspondence about this from Twitter (I may have deleted it), nor from Tourism Australia. I have managed to send 2 related support requests to twitter; Once explaining I couldn't log in - and their reply was; "The email address you're writing from does not match the email on this account. For privacy reasons, we can't offer any more information about the email." Second time that my account was suspended - they replied; "If you're writing in about Australia1_ being suspended, this account is not currently suspended" I don't believe this can be a trademark issue because you cannot trademark a place name. I would love an explanation from twitter- Any tips?

How to Analyze Twitter Followers
I'm working on an infographic and I need a way to analyse the followers of about 25 to 50 industry twitter accounts to figure what type of people their followers are. twittersheep.com used to do exactly this, look at the profile description area of twitter and produce a tag cloud of a given twitter account's followers based on terms from their profile fields. But they are no longer online. Anyone know of another service that does this ? Or can think of another way to get this data.

Regaining Twitter
Our Twitter account had been hijacked by an ex-employee who refused to give it back. However we filed for copyright infringement and got access of our Twitter account back. The sad part is that Twitter could not leep our followers intact and we lost our fan base of over 30k followers. Now that we have control of the account, how should we go about regaining our followers? Just to give the community a better idea i'd like to point out that we are a leading news organization (dawn.com) of Pakistan. (Yes, we have internet and no we don't ride on camels!). We posted a message on our FB account that has an even greater following but didn't get a good response as most followers on FB are local whereas 70% of our readership comes from the US alone! So how would you suggest regaining followers and also, is it better to operate an RSS feed or manually select the links to share on Twitter. Thanks!
