Maybe you were totally oblivious to the fact that Twitter imposes a ceiling to how many people you can follow on the service, but that's how they roll.
Be that as it may, you might be delighted to learn that the micro-blogging startup is raising its previous follow limit of 2,000 accounts per user to a total of 5,000 accounts.
Once you’ve followed 5,000 users on Twitter, there are limits to the number of additional users you can follow based on your specific follower-to-following ratio.
This change goes into effect today, said the company.
