I tested the service and it really gives great intelligent results to follow. It seems that its algorithm depends on analyzing your followers network. That’s why it takes a long time to give you results especially if you have more than 1,000 followers.

For twtbase twitter account, it has about 2000 followers and I took about 4 minutes to get the results. I tested another twitter account with more than 11,000 followers, for about 15 min, still didn’t get any result!
