It is definitely not a “pay for play” thing. Currently, there are no charge-for-use options on ProbableFollow. Also, the percentages are raw data that is generated from Twitter, I will never charge people to show an incorrect percentage.

What I have seen when people are following 100% back but ProbableFollow.com shows less than this is one of two things:
1) Someone followed you while the percentage was being calculated
2) You have requested to follow a private feed and they have not approved you yet.

Both of these have happened to me repeatedly.

This was somewhat helpful, but there isn’t a definition to explain why I rate only 99.5% when I’m following 100% of my tweeps. Interesting that you can’t rate the people shown on the homepage… must be a pay for play thing.

That is exactly what I was hoping. However, it seems that I still need more information on the site itself.

Nice… this is very helpful to define the data people are misinterpreting.

I’m sure many people can recall going on a following rampage. haha!
