“I have a very long list of ComDem Obot Trolls for Twitter. Have been collecting them for years.
But often there is one troll and they have dozens of screen names. They give the appearance of working in packs and often only are 2 Trolls.”
If you do Real-time searches on twitter, you can see automated “Troll-bots” in action.
They will post dozens, or sometimes HUNDREDS of messages, all saying exactly the same thing, with exactly the same hashtags, within a few minutes.
This is to drive whatever it is they are pimping to the top of the “Trending” topics lists. Today’s Major Media uses that “Trending List” to decide whatever is they will be talking about that day, because they want to appear “Popular” and “Hip”, doncha know.
Mashable, and how they use Twitter trollbots to drive traffic to their site is a perfect example.
When they post a story on a subject, you literally can’t search that subject on twitter, due to all of the bots reposting it over the next hour. It’s crazy...
An article not long ago mentioned how many visits Google Representatives visited the White House....well over 200 visits.
Yes, I understood that.
