Things to remember for RoundTeam
Free accounts are limited and you may need a premium account to keep a constant schedule.
Your retweets will be evenly divided among all your configurations. Plus you have limits per hour. So you can prioritize any configuration. Example: I love my #IBAbloggers and want really feature them so I would set them at 5 per hour, but I have a generic #DIY hashtag I was to share just a little from so I would set them as 1 per hour. This away I can stretch my free account to who I really want to promote.
If you are worried about having content your readers are not interested in, the add filter by a hashtag or use exclude text option.

Thus, “follow-back” activities, automated voting, “gain more followers” activities, trading followers, hashtag promotion via massive automated retweets, and similar activities are not allowed.
