Suppose you have two twitter users who are each working on a web 2.0 startup and would like to increase the number of their twitter followers to better their chances of startup success. They could go to this service to increase their followers. So in using this service, they find each other. Even though they don't necessarily want to increase the number of people they follow, they might discover cool tweets that they would like to see anyway. And so they end up following each other, even though it was not their intent to follow more people.
