Remember during the Presidential campaign when we found out that Mitt Romney had thousands of fake Twitter followers? Now it seems the fake following is becoming a huge money-making industry in itself. Politicians, celebrities and average joes are all shelling out the cash to magically gain thousands, even millions of followers… fake followers that is.
Although a big following may look good on your profile, the big losers here are the real lovers of Twitter who use the social media to genuinely communicate with those they consider ‘friends.’ Twitter itself is also a loser, as their credibility now comes into question.
