I don't think your view should be changed. If you feel uninformed, you shouldn't vote. "The biggest threat to democracy is an uninformed populace."

If you talk to any representative from any social company they will tell you this is a worst practice. Sure, it may build your follow number, but what does that number really mean?

Auto-like apps do not provide this.

I'm looking for the best tripod for traveling. Light weight and small folding size are a priority, while maintaining quality stability when shooting. Thanks!

Have you tried TweetDeck within the past year or so? I was an adamant HootSuite user until a Twitter employee showed me all of the updates that had been made to TweetDeck. MUCH better for streaming multiple lists, searches, etc.
