Beware of this about Hummingbird

PubDirLtd · 09-02-2009, 07:29 AM

I have used Hummingbird and been banned on two of my accounts for aggressive following. Its one of the drawbacks with the software. There's no way to limit the amount of follows it goes after unless you (a) chose a really small list of followers to follow, or (b) sit up with it all night and switch it off when you 'think' its enough to satisfy you, but not enough to ring the alarm bells at Twitter HQ.

Also, if you decide that Hummingbird is really not worth the cost and the feature set does not warrant their price, as I do, don't ask them to give you your money back. They won't do it. You will get an email something like the one I just got which says... "Unfortunately we do not offer refunds on software products that have been activated, as we follow the same policy as nearly every software vendor".

You can make your own mind up what you do, but I for one will not be buying anything from Hummingbird again.
