Romney camp used Colorado shooting as distraction to hide buy of 100,000 Twitter followers

16. I took the time yesterday to check profiles on his newest followers. ALL the ones I saw were foreign

Seriously, I checked out a huge number of his followers and they seemed to have NO connection to the guy at all, and a number of the people they were following and the tweets they did were in other languages that I didn't recognize.

There is a huge market for this: http://buytwitterfollow.com/ is just one of the jerks that offer this...

I'm so damn naive, that it never occurred to me until I was in a photo contest online, and I kept noticing every time I entered something like that, the most inane photos would win. Someone mentioned that people buy votes for those things, and then I found out you can buy twitter followers, too.

They basically have follower networks and farms, most often overseas.. usually Philippines, and they get paid to follow. It's obvious that this is what he did. Take a gander at some of his new followers...

I swear that he has the most inept and crooked technology staff in history. First it was the "Amercia" then the various meme FAILS, and now this. Geez.. who says money can't by friends?

BTW, he's NOW up to 818k!! Another leap.
