Whats up with 140Booster and the toolbar?
November 2, 2009 by OpinionHead · 1 Comment
The 140Booster toolbar is for real! Yes, I said it, it really does work as long as your browser is in the list. It really does get you new members! I am a bit impatient and it seemed a bit slow, if you feel that way, click the banner above and go to the 140Booster.com website and watch the video, when you see that, it will be clear as to why it seems so slow. When I started running it, I had 670 members, at the time of writing this, I have 701 members. No, this toolbar did not recruit them all, I was sent invite by two or three, but still, this is in about an hour, not bad I say!
Once you have it installed, there may be a question or two, like why is the box black? This one, I am pretty sure I can tell you the answer, if you could see the images, that would slow down the process even more because of the extra bandwith that would be required, I hope they tell me if I am right or wrong, on anything that I write about the toolbar. Anyway, the other things are almost all adjustable in the settings, I stopped playing 140Army and Ninja Clash, nothing wrong with the games, I just liked 140Mafia better, so, I removed them from the list, as a matter of fact I removed everything but the 140 Mafia tab. Here comes another guess, if you are curious as to why, you cannot remove the search box, that is how 140Blaster gets paid, and deservedly so, I am sure that there was a tremendous amount of work put into this project, so, use it, do a few searches when ever you need to search, maybe that will help get the toolbar for Opera.
Installing to FireFox is easy, it installs like any other plugin. Windows IE7 is automatic, but, I still haven’t figured out Safari and how to install it there, I don’t think it is the toolbar, I think it is me, Safari used to be on my list of useless browsers, like IE, and Opera but, since I found I could use it to test websites appearance with several different browsers, even the iPhone, so I am starting to like it. The reason I am writing that part, is that I am hoping one of you apple heads can tell me how to work it.
Back to the toolbar, I have been around the internet for a very long time, and my experience has taught me that toolbars are a very bad thing, in many cases they are nothing but spy/spam/god only knows what bots, that track your each and every move, however, in this case, the toolbar is ok to use, I have every virus, spyware or bot checker that I know of, and nothing has notified me of a problem, so, it must be safe. If you read the information and proof on their website, it can tell you more than I can, all I can give you is my opinion, so, If you wish to download the toolbar, click the banner image above, that will take you to the 140Booster.com website.

I may have been wrong! Since I have more than one account, when I get a Tweet from myself, that I know I did not send, it bothers me a bit!
As I said above, this toolbar does its job, but how? I am not saying that there is definitely something wrong with it, I don't know for sure, but, there is a coincedence that bothers me a bit. You know how during the course of a game, every action sends out a Tweet? We all know this, you select which events send this Tweet, but how the heck do you send a Tweet from a game you have never played?
Yes, I have played 140Army, and even the Ninja thing, but not 140Blood! As I was logging into Twitter, I happened to get a Tweet from myself!
Now tell me, how did this happen? Well, it could just be LOLplaying sending that, but, this is not one of their games. Last night, I did happen to notice that I was getting tons of tweets from that game, and it was being sent by 140Booster, the player, not the toolbar. Until now, I didn't think much of it. Here is the coincedence that made me wonder, since the only browsers that I have been able to get to work with the tolabar is FireFox and IE8, and I don't use IE, it narroews it down a bit, the account I used with FireFox, and the toolbar, was OpinionHead, until about 3am, when I logged OpinionHead out, and logged in fat_madman, and then ran the toolbar to get members for that account. After going to bed, it was when I got up and started up FireFox that thie tweet appeared, and you see, it says 2hours ago, I was asleep then! Now don't get me wrong, I saw the tweet appear as if it had just happened! So, how did I do that? Even if it had been an old tweet, it would have said so, right?
Well, this tells me that there is a bot, somewhere, like when you follow the wrong person, well, I have blocked 140Booster, I have removed/uninstalled the toolbar, we'll see if they continue, if so, I was again wrong, but, either way, I am not using the toolbar anymore!

I have watched my Twitter pages since removing the toolbar, guess what, no more tweets from myself. I wonder, could it have been a coincedence? I don't know, but I do know that I am not using it anymore.

Ok, I was right, it was just a coincedence, I will be reinstalling the toolbar, it really worked great. Oh, if you are reading this, make sure you check your Twitter settings for the 140blood game, I never played it, but it was in my settings that I had authorized it, so, in case they get unsuspended, make sure it is out of your list. Here is the email I got back from 140Booster, after I had asked them about this,
FYI, 140Booster is being blamed for the current outages on 140mafia. not sure if it is fully true or only partially true or just being used as a scapegoat. just FYI!!

Yeah, I have stopped using the toolbar a while back, it just seemed to me it was “getting too big for it’s britches” to use an old term. I just kind of felt weird about it, the more features it offered, the more it felt like cheating or something, I only used the recruiting tool and hit a couple of ghosts when I got bored, but, I am just as guilty as anyone else for using it.
Toolbar update:
Toolbar has added a free AutoInviter feature. You put in the User ID number where you want it to start and invite 1 user at a time by adding “1″ to the number every 5 seconds (or longer if u prefer) to continue with invites.
544956 seems to be a good starting point since this is close to where the “Booster” option stopped (at member: julian278969).
If you have not done “Booster”, I recommend going through all of the booster items first since they process much faster than AutoInviter.

I have used the 140Booster toolbar quite a bit, and have recruited many new members. but have since removed it, I have no real reason, I just did, but have not checked out the autoinviter, thanks for the tip
