Throttle The Number of People We Follow Per Day
I’m excited to announce a simple new feature that may make your life a little easier if you’re trying to catch up your followers, or simply have a lot of people we follow on your behalf per day on Twitter. You’ll now notice under your Preferences tab, under the check box to enable auto follow, there is now a drop-down with the number of maximum people we will follow on your behalf per day. Select a number that works for you (Twitter only allows a maximum of 1,000), and we’ll make sure we don’t go over your limit.
We enabled this due to request by some of you. It should be useful especially to those of you which want to manually follow a few per day without hitting Twitter’s 1,000 per day limit while we catch up your account for you. Or it could serve as a safety-net just to be sure you’re not following too many people at once.
Whatever your reason now you have some flexibility in the number of people we follow for you per day. I think some of you will really like this.

Jesse, I hate to be blunt but socialtoo's time has come and gone. It hasn't worked effectively since the time-change (March 3rd?). Its extremely frustrating not getting my emails and I think a two-month wait for twitter to fix things out for ya is enuf. blech on u, its as bad as qwitter.

love to look at your account for you.

Interesting post. I have made a twitter post about this. Others no doubt will like it like I did.
