A poster on Twitter, upon seeing what he thought were very similar posts referencing MSNBC host Rachel Maddow's show, did some searching and found out that Maddow has been using phony twitter accounts to boost her "mentions" on the popular website.
As can be seen by screenshots collected by a tweeter named @LeftyBollocks, Maddow has massive amount of accounts posting the exact same claim that "Confession: I yell at my TV while watching Rachel #Maddow talk about filibuster reform in the same way most people do during football."
With so many supposedly unique accounts mentioning her name, the term #Maddow has quickly risen to the top of trending topics on twitter-something @LeftyBollocks found odd since her show has so few viewers.
ping for a mad cow story
How did you discover this? I mean, do you monitor the left’s tweets and doudble-check them?
but twitter busts and/or shuts down othes who do this. Will she have a free pass because she has selected to live the life of a recreational sex fetish exhibitionist?
there are paid services that will do it for you.
What do you mean, I'm straight?
Wow..she was a beauty.
Emphasis on “was”...
judging by those who responded to you, they don’t really understand this. Newt had something like 300,000 fake followers and it warranted a mention and some mockery, but that was it.
30 bots tweeting the same dumb thing? Wholly and completely ineffectual on any level. And really, as reprehensible as she is, the idea of her sitting around creating a few fake Twitter accounts is absurd.
I think Chastity Bono was rather pretty before she became Chaz. A male friend says no. What say you FReepers?
*yikes*
I guess that’s a thumbs down? LOL! Are you of the male persuasion or female persuasion?
Is this one of them trick questions?
I’m retarded...never mind me! LOL!
