I want to have quickly a twitter account with 4 to 5000 followers -- do not ask me why --. I know that "good and great things are done quickly ; small and poor are done slowly", and to accelerate the process, I created a -- dead -- celebrity account yesterday and tried to get my first followers with Twittman, with no great results, but my followers are increasing fast today, at approx. 10 per hour actually. At about 40 followers, I noticed that I got an invisible/hidden one, counted but not seen on my screen. I think it comes from Twittman and was in my list, but I am not sure, as the requests I am getting actually are not mainly coming from Twittman.
I do not like rats, mosquitoes and stalkers : have you got some invisible followers on twitter ?
Is it possible to trap/identify these hidden followers and get rid of them ?
At the moment I am posting this, I have got at least another rat : please, help !

Well sweetie, you can always try this trap.
I have no idea if it will work though.
Saphrina, but the rats are real. At the speed where my followers are growing now, it will be very difficult or impossible in a few hours except if somebody knows an application to find them.

Hi topffer!
I tried scouring the net for a while and could not come up with anything related to invisible followers.
The only thing I could come up with was how to make yourself invisible and that is done through RSS feed. Outside of this I could not find absolutely anything.

Thank you hardworkinggurl,
The best I have found is in a blog but I have not try this trick yet -- I do not know if it works --, and I have about 50 followers more -- it goes up and down but more up than down
-- than when I started this discussion : http://our-current-events.blogspot.com/2009/08/how-to-find-hidden-followers-on-your.html
I had 2 invisible followers, and -- weird -- they are gone now one after the other, in a hour ! I was able to see the difference between the number showed in my twitter, and the number showed at friendorfollow.com without counting them : it is the same actually. I am asking myself who they can be ? Maybe the staff or bots from twitter itself 
?

I wonder if the invisible mode is something you can do temporary and it comes off after sometime allowing a person to view all information and decide if they actually want to follow??

I think these followers are bots -- maybe belonging to Twitter ? --, and I did not know how they can be invisible.
I have deleted yesterday 120 persons I was following -- among them a lot of spammers --, because they were not playing the game and had not followed my account, and I have suppressed the access to Twittman.
Twiends is better, as you can identify those who are following just to be followed in return immediately and will delete you soon. I had a lot of those at the beginning. As I am checking and deleting them every hour, I see less cheaters. I have more than 800 followers today, enough to let this account grow itself, with 2 or 3 tweets per day.

I have no idea why you are bothered anyway....since you are just making that twiter account for online earning....
Follow them, let them follow you...what's the problem?
btw, sending you pm as to my new (fake) twitter account and FB account for you to follow and for you to give me your fake accounts....
