Yeah Facebook was the reason I used this service.  Oh well i guess my reason for being here is gone!

Just use www.youlikehits.com instead for Likes.

yep, try www.youlikehits.com for facebook likes. I'm using their system and it appears to be working well, but using it to expand my twitter presence is cumbersome - the user interface on twiends for gaining twitter followers is infinitly superior to youlikehits - after all why use a pop-up window system when you don't have to (like with Facebook).  YouLikeHit's big downside - lack of users - usually there'd be 170-200 people logged on to the system.

Twiends' usefulness to me has certainly shrunk dramatically since the removal of the facebook feature, the down-side of twitter is I'm getting loads of followers, but they disappear as quickly as they come - obviously they come to twiends to bang up some credits to gain followers, and then jump onto a service like manageflitter.com to un-follow the people they've just followed to get points for followers.  Interesting that Twitter doesn't have any issues or complaints to that practise - I would call that aggressive churning or friending - I've extracted my log, and I can pinpoint several hundred twitter accounts who have followed me several times and unfollowed me. 

I fail to see the point in that. However with facebook, people who 'like' my page usually stick around. I left my FB page along for a month and lost about 15 out of the 20'000+ likes so the retention rate is good, I've also have had some level of success making money out of my facebook page and its 20'000+ likes by promoting my businesses there.

...Now youtube's gone too?  I wonder if there were many people using it.

What Twiends needs is more drawcards, not less. Facebook and Websites are highly desirable features.

How to make money using an on-line tool like this - you can also sell clickbank products like that and get a few sales.

I found the websites feature on youlikehits.com a fantastic way to promote my SendOutCards business - I designed a simple squeeze page "exclusive free offer to youLikeHits users" - allowing them to design a FREE card online and have a real greeting card sent to somebody they care about - this test drive offer has landed me 87 gift accounts and managed to convert 18 into paid $9.80 subscription accounts and 1 entreprenaur account - the gift accounts cost me just under $150, the entreprenaur sign-up landed me $140 in commissions, almost covering my costs, plus the 18 subscription accounts will be adding $176.40 in residual revenue, @ 5% commission = An extra $8.80 - unfortunately now I don't get as many website hits anymore on youlikehits as I've saturated their user base and only a dribble of a response happens now.

I'd like to do that ten fold and plough the money back into a site like YouLikeHits to buy points :) but needs a lot more users for me to be able to do that. Twiends was right on-track with its huge number of users, but all that came to and end when websites went, then facebook. Leaving twitter. Last one, when that's gone, it's all over.

why to include facebook page to tab twiends like twitter
