A Twiends review for you today, taking a look at the ethics behind what most would call buying facebook fans. Twiends has now added a new feature, essentially the ability to buy fans for your facebook page. Twiends is a web service that offers to help you grow your social network by getting you more twitter followers, facebook fans, or views on your You Tube videos. The premise is simple, earn “seeds” by liking other FB pages, following people on twitter or watching You Tube videos. Spend your “seeds” when people ‘like’ your fanpage, follow you or watch your videos. The attraction is obvious it’s a quick and easy way to build some numbers and grow your social network.
Twiends equals 30 facebook fans in 3 minutes
I popped over to Twiends the other day at the recommendation of my good blogging friend Suresh who recently wrote an article “The Secret of how I got a custom facebook URL in under 15 minutes“. His post inspired me to check out Twiends yet again, though I’d heard of the service a long time ago I had quickly concluded that the quality of twitter followers one might gain from a service such as Twiends would be weak at best. Not being one to gravitate towards the model of buying followers or fans, I ignored Twiends at that time. Using a tool like that to ‘add’ so called targeted followers to your twitter account is not something I recommend, and I can testify that I’ve had great success with twitter without using methods like that. (Read up here about my twitter success without automation).
Just for fun I followed Suresh’s instructions signed up for Twiends and let the free seeds I had go to work on my facebook fan page. The ability to integrate with facebook and add likes to your fan pages is a new feature of Twiends, so I had to give it a go. Within 3 minutes (not an exaggeration) I gained 30 facebook fans, by the end of half an hour and a quick subscription to the Twiends newsletter (you get some free seeds for opting-in), I had another 30 new fans. Suresh’s article was RIGHT, if you are building out a new FB Fanpage this is a foolproof way to grab that important custom URL as soon as possible.
Twiends Review: “It might be fun but don’t be fooled.”
Gaining 60 Facebook fans without any real work in a matter of minutes felt nice for about half a second, then the fuzzy feelings wore off when I reminded myself that there was likely not one quality fan in the bunch. After all, these people were utilizing the service for the same reason I was, we were motivated by selfishness. It didn’t take long for my suspicions to be confirmed when several dozen of the new fans jumped ship by “unliking” my page. They had clearly just USED me for the seeds they gained for themselves (ugh! the audacity of some people, LOL). How does a service like this sustain itself? Twiends itself admits that it’s newest users utilize the service more (newest meaning members that are younger than 24 hours old). It sounds like people have fun with it for an hour or so, and then realize what poor value there is in the followers / fans gained and quickly drop off.
Twiends also sells seeds for those who really want to put some money into buying some fans. I would really advise against actually buying seeds. Twiends provides at the low end 1250 seeds for about $30.00 all the way up to 20,000 for $280.00. You can bet you’ll get a lot of facebook fans, but who knows how many will drop you just as quickly as they came. Would anyone even possibly suspect that these are potentially loyal fans who will engage you or become customers who convert into sales or subscribe to your newsletters?
Big Numbers equal Social Proof, or do they?
Twiends can’t really be called a community, I imagine the interaction that exists between members who are introduced on the site is pretty meager. For the most part users don’t really care about other users. If you are there, it’s for the sole selfish reason of gaining social numbers. Why? Big numbers equal social proof, or do they? Now with services like Twiends it becomes difficult to trust the numbers of any site. How many subscribers, facebook fans, twitter followers do you have? Really? Are they really following you? I’ve visited this issue before when I asked the question, Are you Twitter Followers REALLY following you?.
Twiends runs on the egos of those who want large follow counts and more facebook fans. While it is true that numbers aren’t everything, they do (did?) mean something. Artificially inflating them with services like Twiends doesn’t prove anything to anyone, rather it confuses the issue of social proof and makes all of us doubters.
If you actually LIKE this article, and you’re genuinely interested in this blog it would be great if you would LIKE us on facebook. Are you using Twiends? What do you think of the service? Share a brief personal Twiends review with us in the comments.

Hey Daniel,
I tried Twiends when I first started and even wrote 2 reviews on it. I decided that I would never purchase points. I made them by visiting other peoples websites. Then I used them to get FB fans, NOT Twitter followers.
Why? Twitter followers would unfollow you the same days. FB fans apparently stayed there, I had no “unlikes” after that test. This was a long time ago, though, and I think I got about 30 fans that way.
I think it is a great tool to get you started because people are more likely to click like on a page with 100 fans than one with 5 fans.
However, I would never do it now, that is something I would try only with a brand new page, when you are completely new and want some push forward.
The interesting thing that even my “regular” fans don’t communicate with me much on my fan page although I am trying, so I guess it isn’t just the way you get them, there are so many things to do to make it work 🙂
Daniel Snyder says:
May 17, 2011
Hey Brankica. Glad to hear you didn’t waste any CASH on seeds at twiends! 🙂 I agree with you about utilizing it to get a jump start, but ultimately the fans are primarily worthless there. I too have trouble generating interest and conversation on my FB page. I’m hoping to change that with the upcoming contest, but we will see how that goes!
Suresh Khanal@Bivori says:
May 16, 2011
Hahaaa…. Friends are not for sale Daniel, we don’t expect to buy or sell friends, nor fans or loyal followers. I come to know about Twiends long ago when I was testing Twiends, TwitterTrain, and all sort of 100s followers for nothing….Lol!
But, there are some great aspects of Twiends. It never sends tweets through your account – or what I mean is it never misused my account as opposed to many other services that hit at your head immediately you nodded.
This is not completely automated process. It does not make you follow thousands and don’t offer you thousands for doing nothing. You explicitly click twiteeples to follow, you must wait till the fan page is loaded and explicitly click ‘Like’ button and so on. So, this is not something illegal or completely dark corner.
There are settings you can configure so that you’ll allow only bit older members and the members with similar interest and so on. I don’t know how far it works. All I needed was my custom facebook URL and I grabbed it on time. Hahaaa… I will still recommend to Twiends for anyone who has set up their page recently.
Well buying seeds, you can consider if all you need is a large number (Hey! but the number works, don’t it?). And who knows out of those thousands a couple of people really like your blog and convert into genuine and loyal follower?
Daniel Snyder says:
May 17, 2011
Hey Suresh! Thanks for your reply bro. 🙂 Really glad I got the tip off from you on this whole Twiends thing. I think it serves a great purpose when it comes to what you used it for. Ultimately however I wouldn’t be too keen on any of the big numbers one gets from a service like Twiends.
Justin Germino says:
May 16, 2011
I agree with everyone else so far, you can’t really buy/trade likes/follows and establish a meaningful audience this way, they are all doing it for the same purpose and that is to build raw numbers, but the actual yield or value is low.
Daniel Snyder says:
May 17, 2011
Hey Justin! We all want quality followers… clearly Twiends is not the place to find them!
John Paul says:
May 16, 2011
Social proof has nothing to do with your followers count.
You can get followers with software, or with a buy service like you shared.. its all crap.
Social proof comes in the engagement and in the share counts you get on your blog and the traffic you drive.. and even more important is when you share something of someones else’s, does it get them more shares?
That is true social proof.
Great post Dan

Jeevanjacobjohn says:
May 17, 2011
Lol. 😀 The article is great, Daniel !
I agree with you. I used to use Twiends back in the day (now, I don’t use it). I used to use it to get more followers and FB Likes. But then, I realized that it was the quality of the followers, not the quantity. But, I did use FB likes to bump up my likes from 50ish to 200ish 😀 And guess what, I did get most of them to stay there (Either they were interested in the content – or they didn’t care about “unliking”). Anyways, I did get a good number of regular readers out of it. Of course, I don’t use it now (because I have already built a base and so I think I can do the rest by myself, slowly).
I recommend Twiends for Starters (but, it doesn’t really matter). If you want influence and blogger power (:D), then you should build your followers/fans yourself, rather than depending upon an external site.
Anyway, thank you for the read, Daniel !
Note : And Social Proof doesn’t matter at all. But psychologically speaking, there is better chance of a reader “liking” a blog with better fans compared to a blog with fewer number of fans (in this case, the quality of the content is the same) 😀
And even if that matters, I simply don’t care (Since I don’t care about SEO, why would I care about Social Proof ?) 😀

Hey Jeevan, glad this article was enjoyed by you! It’s really great the feedback that is going on here. A lot of people are sharing their opinions on social proof, so it creates for interesting conversation. I do think social proof has a very strong impact and is something that most advertisers and marketers really need to carefully consider. Those who understand it and utilize it can create strong feelings about a brand very easily. I believe we are more influenced by our social circles than we will ever comprehend.

Daniel, I should probably write response post to this, so my comment doesn’t get too long 🙂
I like what John Paul said about “social proof” – it has nothing to do with numbers. Everyone that has been around the block a few times knows that engagement is what really counts (or conversions for some of us). BUT – on the other hand. Folks that don’t know any better can easily be fooled by the numbers.
Suresh talked about a plugin called “Social Proof” that displays all of your following counts on your sidebar and I assume that’s what you’re referring to in the title of this post. In that case we need to look at each social network separately.
Twitter – everyone that has commented here so far is a Twitter guru in their own right. At some point in the past we might have used automated following tools, but we’re certainly at the point were we don’t rely on them for our engagement or conversions (personally I never used any on my main account @Ileane).
Facebook – is a whole different story isn’t it? Even if we get numbers – “meaningful” engagement is not so easy for the “little guys” like us to conquer. Who wants to go even one full day without the 25 fans we need to get a custom url? And even if we have 100 or 200 likes- in the back of our minds we know that looks really, really lame – Right? I know it looks lame to me when I decide rather I’m going to like a page or not. I’m not a Facebook fan to begin with so I’m certainly not going to scroll down someone’s page looking for likes and shares or engagement. Bottom line – if I’m not already connected with you on other networks there’s no way I’m going to like your page unless you have lots of likes. (I’m sooo shallow when it comes Facebook).
Subscriber counts – I know people like to brag about their counts but personally I could care less. Take Blog Engage for example – with thousands of members how come there’s only 157 subscribers? I even have more subscribers than that – so what does that tell you about engagement and social proof? Absolutely nothing…
Dan Zarrella did an experiment where he inflated the number of subscriber counts on his sidebar to see if it caused people to subscribe more than usual to his surprise THEY DID NOT!!
And don’t get me started on Pop-Up Domination and how many folks have inflated subscriber counts just because people are tricked into thinking they need to sign up – or they sign up for the freebies and then block your email address in Outlook or Gmail (you can argue that point if you want later) 🙂
Page Rank, Alexa Rank, number of comments, number of visits, number of posts yada, yada, yada…..I’m sure when you stack all of those numbers together and display them on the sidebar they do serve as a nice little boost to the ego (if the numbers are good) but personally I don’t buy any of it.
Which brings me back to Twiends. No I wouldn’t consider buying seeds. Nor would I consider using Twitter Adder or Market Me Suite or any other PAID following tool. But if I can get a few hundred Facebook likes out the deal for FREE – I’m game!!
Oh – and by the way, if you go into your settings in Twiends and increase the length of time people need to be members to over 24 hours most of them will continue to follow you.
Whew, that was long…and I actually have more to say on the topic so I’ll save it for a blog post (maybe).
Thanks for the post Daniel – it really is a balancing act but I think Twiends is like an equalizer.

For the first time, you are the ONE Ileane to stand clearly on one side of the confusion. You dare it! Thumb up!
Oh! You raised the subscribers and that domination sort of thing. There is a funny story. There are a few blogs I love most and because they always displayed me that subscribe piece of screen every time, I filled up the form and submitted, hoping that I’ll get rid of them from next time. But to my big head! they are made to smile with all their big teeth, no matter if you are already subscribed or not. That’s really disgusting. I love those blogs but hate those piece of screen 🙁

Justin Germino says:
May 18, 2011
Floated numbers or not the only real value I see from traffic is increased AdSense earnings, even if they don’t translate into more comments there is a clear increase in sales/AdSense when my traffic increases. I don’t however see the same benefit from Social Media increases and all my social media accounts combined account for less than 1% of my site traffic.
I agree that numbers for the sake of numbers are meaningless.
Daniel Snyder says:
May 19, 2011
I’m stunned that you social media accounts are less 1% of your site traffic. Really? Including twitter? Wow! I certainly get almost 40% of my traffic from social media sources. You have a lot of content on your site which is also aging now so I suspect that vast majority is organic search traffic which is really GOOD for you! 🙂 … but 1% that’s stunning. Makes me wonder why you continue to be active on social networks? Can you share the other VALUE of social networking if traffic is not one of them.
George Super Boot Camps says:
May 25, 2011
I am highly interested in where you get the rest of your traffic from, given that it’s not from Social Media?
Thanks in advance,

Daniel Snyder says:
May 27, 2011
I know Justin gets a large portion of his traffic from organic search (google) and also stumble upon is one of his top referrers.
Daniel Snyder says:
May 19, 2011
WOW Ileane, you’ve caused me to fall behind in replying to my comments now. 🙂 hahaha. I really like how this has inspired you (and others) to react / respond. Social proof is an interesting concept, while I agree it really isn’t about numbers, on the internet it has been that way for a long time (though that is shifting). People inherently respond to numbers I believe (even though that subscriber count experiment may prove otherwise), I think that often we are naturally influenced in this manner. It would not be difficult to build and design a website that at a glance LOOKS super popular, but really isn’t. This is the problem with the types of social proof that we’ve SEEN up till now on the internet. As things change as the web “gets smaller” (we interact more) we begin to realize that the real proof is in OTHER things. Well, your comment has given me a lot to think about. I like how you ended however acknowledging the balancing act… Confidence on the part of a blog owner goes a long way.
DiTesco says:
May 17, 2011
Social proof does not have anything to do with numbers, then again, it is difficult to prove any social proof with only 1 follower. So I guess, in a way it has to be balanced and backed with engagement. I rather have 150 “legitimate” followers or fans that would engage and interact with me than thousands that do not even know who I am or what I do.
Buying fans or followers is not good for social purposes. However, for marketers, buying them has an ulterior motive and in this case it makes sense. Just be sure to do it with a different account and preferably with no “link” to the real you, lol.
Daniel Snyder says:
May 19, 2011
Hey man! This is the confusing thing about social proof. There are other metrics (besides just the number) perhaps but then these are hard to quantify. How many of us have visited a website cause a buddy or friend told us too? This is social proof. However tracking it is near to impossible. Big brands are all about social proof, but their methods are not as silly as putting a commercial on TV and saying they have 100,000 twitter followers. 🙂 or maybe they do, do that sometimes…

I have tried twiends but quickly realized that the followers I gained weren’t quality followers, or quickly unfollowed me.
You may gain them in the short term, but in the long term you actually gain very little, if anything at all. Gaining followers takes time and effort, and the more social you are with your followers, the better chance you have at keeping them.

Hey Paul. Quality vs Quantity, it’s the big debate as always. Find the balance! Thanks for commenting.

Hi Dani,
I have used twiend some days before. As you said, it can bring us fans and followers quick, but 0% they are dump. Getting plenty no.of fans or followers will never show our social strength and it should be attracted my our attitude on social media. But here i wont criticize the twiend tool, upto their concept they were good. People who need only quantity of followers can use it, but definitely not for me.
Cheers
Thiru
Daniel Snyder says:
May 19, 2011
Hey Thiru. Thanks for your visit as always my friend. I’d much rather have 10 quality followers who engage, and interact, then 1000 no name faces who are just a number on a page.

I’m glad I saw this article now as I was going to try this new feature. Although I am against ‘buying’ friends and fans it seemed to me ‘not a bad idea’. But now I see that it is simple waste of money.
Once again I make sure that fair play should be fair in all branches and spheres – online or offline.
Daniel Snyder says:
May 24, 2011
Hi Anna, definitely I would not encourage anyone to spend money on something like this. If you are pursuing quality fans and followers then you need to earn them not ‘buy’ them! That takes time, hard work and patience.

Holy amazing blog post Daniel, I actually found this when I typed “Twiends review” into Google. 🙂 🙂
I’m definitely interested in trying out Twiends, which is why I searched for it. BUT I do NOT want to pay real money for fans or followers. I really just want a few new ones to get me off the ground with a new site and also I just kind of wanted to try it out of pure curiosity.
I see your point with the whole selfishness thing about this. It definitely sound likes a circus ring service where people follow and unfollow, fan and unfan, JUST for their own blogs or websites.
Some of these comments are great, wow, Ileane made a killer comment!
I think I will bookmark this blog post and mess around with Twiends for a little while. 🙂
Thanks for providing such an honest review of this service!

Even Twiends itself mentions that the majority of their users only stick around for a little while. The service seems catchy at first, but the glamor fades away quickly when people realize how weak the followers they’ve received are.

Great article, great site and great discussion. I am glad I came across this. I have been posting my experiences with Twiends and similar services. Generally I agree with your comments, though I do have optimistic hope for a service that focuses on quality, not quantity. I would love for people to check out my running commentary and give me their thoughts.

Daniel Snyder says:

Hey Mike. I think it would be very difficult to develop a service like that, since there is still too much focus on numbers, and it is hard to get quantity and quality combined! Quality comes in smaller numbers and services like that are not profitable…

Mike says:
May 31, 2011
Yeah, I don’t think they are ever going to add value to a page. I only have one fb with any decent numbers (21000) and a fair few active, adding to the page and stuff.

Perhaps Twiends works for some, but it doesn’t sound like something I want to spend time or money on. Thanks again.

For a long time I have been bored to death by the Twitter follower count thing. It does not matter how many people follow you. It does matter who follows you. And for that, you first must understand what your goals are.

Daniel. thanks for sharing this interesting insight into your experiments with twiends. You are right that it is all about quality of friends and followers rather than quantity. On a more fundamental level I’ve always felt like I’m doing something dishonest when I use something like twiends. It all feels very false and superficial sometimes. But then it is so hard starting out and building up a decent level of traffic to a blog… Sometimes it is tempting to use a service like twiends even though it doesn’t necessarily feel right.

I confess, I gave Twiends a try after a favourable review from another blogger. I even paid them some money because I wasn’t interested in following a bunch of people just to earn “seeds”.
Well as I expected it was mostly a waste of time. While I did gain over 600 followers in a very short time, most of them were junk accounts, I doubt any of them even read my tweets, and they have, just a few days later, started dropping off like flies.
Waste of money, and I have to draw the conclusion that anyone singing it’s graces is probably in their pocketbooks…this will go donw in history as the EntreCard of Twitter.

Fasinating discussion everyone, I just signed up today, though I only chose to follow people I’m truly interested in (for me, poetry and astronomy folks). So in that sense it was a convenient way to find some twitter people. And thanks for the heads up on the options, I set mine so high dropout rates aren’t allowed to add me. But I definitely refuse to autofollow anyone. If I follow someone, it’s because I think they’re cool. 😉 As an author of a new poetry book, I’m extremely well aware of how difficult it is to arouse true interest in people, despite the quality of my “product”! I’ve done a lot of research lately and SEO work, and what I’ve learned is to promote only what I love, and try to interact online with people/discussions I really digg. For me, that’s people into the arts and science, especially astronomy! Anyway, I agree: Quality trumps Quantity!

I have used Twiends in the past and seen some good results in the beginning, although it totally goes against all social media marketing efforts. I have also used YouLikeHits, this is better because they give you 50 free points everyday.
All in all, Twiends works, but don’t over do it, you will not get accurate results.
