More than 2 MILLION of Hillary Clinton's Twitter followers are fake or never tweet
The UK Daily Mail ^ | April 14, 2015 | DAVID MARTOSKO

Posted on 04/14/2015 9:42:35 AM PDT by Timber Rattler

Although Hillary Clinton boasts a robust 3.6 million Twitter followers, not even a vast right-wing conspiracy would be able to interact with 2 million of them.

According to two popular online measuring tools, no more than 44 per cent of her Twitter fan base consists of real people who are active in using the social media platform.

And at least 15 per cent – more than 544,000 – are completely fake.

StatusPeople.com, the oldest publicly available Twitter-auditing tool, reports that 44 per cent of the former secretary of state's followers are 'good'; 15 per cent are 'fake'; and 41 per cent are 'inactive,' meaning that they never tweet or reply to any tweets.

I really hope that Twitter is just a fad that will soon run its course.

How much does it cost to set up 2 million fake accounts? How many man-hours are involved?

IMHO, the whole “social media” is a waste and a fraud. A place for losers.

I wondered that too. Checked into it after the Memories Pizza thing. Turns out that auto-tweet apps are common, cheap, and getting to be a standard tool to create political or commercial buzz. At some point people will ignore that the way they ignore junk mail or internet spam these days.

Also from the article:

ASTROTURF? A woman cast as a kindly, gardening grandma in Clinton's campaign launch video is actually a former abortion lobbyist who once helmed a campaign for Texas state Senator Wendy Davis

The Clinton Foundation doesn’t care how much it costs.

So....I’m guessing they could also have been tracked back to a server that had something like @Clintonemail.com....

Is this what Rush was talking about last week after the pizza restaurant spam. He said there were 10-12 people generating all the tweets etc. that he had their names and addresses
Not that FBI would do anything about it.
