twitterBatcher

is an online Twitter app that allow you
to easily follow many people in 3 simple steps.

I made this app to satisfy a personal need concerning Twitter.
I found it was convenient to upload a bunch of text containing twitter IDs (@accounts) rather than add them manually.

It’s pretty handy on #FollowFriday to follow recommended friends of friends.

So, to solve this simple problem I made a simple app and voilà. twitterBatcher was born.

If you find this app handy please, help me spread the word by retweeting it !
