HOW MANY CAN I ...? Please answer? - jamie - 01-26-2013 08:29 PM
I have 1.262 followers
How many can I follow? (Twitter Limits)

I reached the twitter following limit when I had over 1000 followers. The following limit is 2000, but when you get more followers, the following limit goes up. Follow me @HammondAimee.

2000 is the limit, but the more followers you have, the more people you can follow.

There is no limit that you follow, but do not follow too many in a day, you get suspension. There is a following ratio limit after 2000. So after following 2000 , you need to get more follower to balance your following.
twitter rule:
The rules about aggressive following and follow churn still apply. In addition, every user can follow 2000 people total. Once you’ve followed 2000 users, there are limits to the number of additional users you can follow: this limit is different for every user and is based on your ratio of followers to following.
When you hit this limit, we’ll tell you by showing an error message in your browser. You’ll need to wait until you have more followers in order to follow more users—for example, you can't follow 10,000 people if only 100 people follow you. When you reach a daily or total limit and we show you an error message, you've hit a technical limit imposed to limit egregious behavior by spam accounts and to prevent strain on the site. These are just the technical limits for your account; in addition, you are prohibited from aggressive following behaviors. These behaviors may result in account suspension, regardless of your account's technical ratio.
Limits improve site performance by ensuring that when we send a person's message to all of their followers, the sending of that message is meaningful. Follow limits cannot be lifted by Twitter, and everyone is subject to them, including verified and developer accounts. Based on current behavior in the Twitter community, we've concluded that this is both fair and reasonable.
