Catfood Follower is a desktop Twitter tool for following new friends that follow you and removing friends that don't follow you back. Follower supports Windows XP and Vista.
Download Catfood Follower
Why auto-follow?
I have multiple twitter accounts. My personal account (@abfo) doesn't auto-follow. If you look interesting and not obviously spammy then I'll probably follow you back. Catfood Software (@CatfoodSoftware) will follow you backup using Catfood Follower. I've no idea if followers are Catfood customers or not so I want to follow everyone that signs up for Catfood updates.
Why auto-remove?
Twitter makes it hard to tell when someone you're following removes you. The auto-remove feature of Follower checks for friends who don't follow back and removes them. You can exclude users who you want to follow regardless.
How to use Catfood Follower
Follower supports multiple twitter accounts. For each account you can decide if you want to auto-follow, auto-remove or both. The screenshot above shows the settings for a single account.
You can add exclusions for both auto-follow and auto-remove. For auto-remove you can also set how many days to wait before removing a friend who is no longer following you. This prevents Follower from automatically removing new friends who haven't had a chance to follow you back yet.
Once you've entered rules for each account click the Test button on the main window. You can run the rules in test mode to see who would get followed and removed, or run in live mode to actually process the rules.
You can just run Follower manually when you want to run the rules, or you can use Task Scheduler to run it automatically. To schedule Follower (on Vista) run Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Task Scheduler. Click Create a Basic Task and follow the Wizard to set the schedule (i.e. once a day). If you accepted the defaults during installation then the path to Follower is "C:\Program Files\Catfood Software\Catfood Follower\Follower.exe". Running Follower with no arguments will automatically process the rules that you entered in Catfood Follower Settings. There is no display when Follower is running automatically.

(Updated 2009-05-04 to 1.00.0108: Fixed a problem where new exceptions for an account were not processed, this led to Follower auto-removing exceptions. Also, the installer is now digitally signed.)
(Updated 2009-06-25 to 1.00.0122: Handle a twitter API bug with returning the correct number of friends/followers per page this is a critical update, added logging.)
(Updated 2009-07-21: Note that Follower does not follow new users for you. If you're looking to do this check out Twiogle Twitter Friend Adder.) Labels: Tools, Twitter

(Updated 2009-05-15: WebCamSaver 3.00 released today. Thanks for all the feedback during the beta - the free registration key offer is now closed.)
Catfood WebCamSaver 3.00 is now available as a beta release. If you send feedback on the beta before WebCamSaver 3.00 ships then I'll send you a free registration key. Tell me what you'd like to see in WebCamSaver, or let me know if you experience any problems with the beta.
Download WebCamSaver 3.00 Beta
I'll update this post with each beta version, and also when the final version is released. The first beta version is 3.00.0087 and both loads and closes much faster than version 2. It also fixes a few bugs in version 2 including a handle leak.
I'm looking forward to hearing what you think about the new WebCamSaver!
(Updated 2009-04-11 to 3.00.0100: Thanks for the feedback so far. WebCamSaver now defaults to showing webcams where it's between 6am and 10pm local time, so you'll see more daylight. You can change this default in Catfood WebCamSaver settings. The installer has also been overhauled and I've made some more startup speed improvements.)
(Updated 2009-05-01 to 3.00.0230: Added the most requested feature - you can now easily pick which webcams to display in Catfood WebCamSaver Settings using checkboxes in the webcam list. It's also easier to customize the display font, including outlining the text to make it more readable. I've also improved power management so that WebCamSaver will stop updating when your monitor powers off (and also won't stop unexpectedly - previously it would run for at most an hour). Lastly the installer is now Authenticode signed. Please keep the feedback coming.)
(Updated 2009-05-08 to 3.00.0318: Now includes Catfood WebCam Browser. This tool allows you to watch any of the webcams outside of the screensaver. You can flip between random cams or pick a cam to watch from the full list. If you like the cam you can click a button to launch the web page where you can control it. Also fixed a problem with webcam description encoding (funny characters in some description instead of the expected accents) and improved uninstall.)
