Obama has millions of fake Twitter followers

Why does anyone care about this story? Good grief.

Actually, Romney does have fake twitter followers:

From Web Pro News:




From Arstechnica:

More than 15 percent of Mitt Romney's Twitter followers may be generated by paid services that use fake accounts to artificially inflate the number of people subscribed to the presumptive Republican nominee for US president, according to a new report.


From Russia Today (1st quote) and NBC News (second quote):

"Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney made headlines with his Twitter account earlier this month after it was discovered that the presumptive GOP nominee for president magically accumulated more than 100,000 new social networking followers in only a single short weekend."

"Barracuda Labs decided to look closely at the data, as part of a larger investigation of purchased Twitter followers. After analyzing Romney's 152,966 newest followers (as of July 26, when they collected the data), the conclusion was inescapable: A huge proportion of them were almost certainly fake."


Either way, who really cares. It just shows how sad both candidates are that they need fake Twitter followers.

I thought this thread was about the Kenyan's fake followers.

Way to go ... hijack a thead. Here's a thought ... start a thread about Romney's fakes.

Seems to me that I read somewhere in the rules something about staying on topic. I could be wrong because I have old-timers disease.
