Question

Can I see if someone is on Twitter without having an account?

Community Answer

You can search someone up on twitter but you cannot see if someone is actually on their account, even with an account. Look for recent posting activity and retweets.

Question

Is there a limit to the number of accounts I can follow?

Top Answerer

Every user can follow 5000 people. Once you've followed 5000 users, there are limits to the number of additional users you can follow; this limit is different for every user and is based on your ratio of followers to following.
