Frequently Asked Questions

OverFollow takes security very seriously. Unlike our competitors, we do not store any passwords in our databases. We use the latest technology called oAuth, a technology developed that allows Twitter users to approve applications on their account without sharing their password.

For more information on oAuth and what makes it safer, please Visit Twitter's information page on oAuth: http://apiwiki.twitter.com/OAuth-FAQ

Basically, you login at our site, it redirects you to Twitter, who then asks you whether you'd like to allow us access or not. Access to your account is then given to us temporarily.

There are three siple reasons to choose OverFollow:

- Security - Our competitors use a Basic Auth system, which is an older system that stores your Twitter information in their databases, thus allowing them access to your account anytime they'd like.

- Peace of Mind - We will never tweet your followers without your permission. Also, if at any time you'd like to stop using OverFollow, you will be completely wiped from our system.

- Account Safety - We constantly track how quickly you follow users and get followed and adjust the speed so your account doesn't get suspended for "suspicious activity".

Buying VIP status puts you at the top of the priority list. Regular free users will recieve the most points for following you, which in turn gets them followers. This means you'll get more followers than the free users, alot more!

Absolutely! We take security very seriously, for this reason, we will only ever accept payments by Paypal, the world's top Internet payment method. Paypal is a partner of eBay, both of which are extremely reliable. No one of OverFollow ever sees any of your payment information, we are simply alterted when your payment is complete!

First of all, why would you leave? But if your heart is set on leaving, the best thing we can recommend is you head to your Twitter Settings and "Revoke Access" for OverFollow. When you Revoke Access, Twitter no longer gives us access to your account. However, your profile will still remain on OverFollow. If you wish to completely remove your profile from our system, please Contact Us, and let us know why you're leaving while you're at it!

OverFollow works on a point basis - more points means more followers. We offer points to users to tweet about us - these are manually done by the user. You don't have to promote OverFollow at all if you don't want to, they choose to do it themselves.
