Not really. I follow every single person that follows me and isn’t a spambot. It’s a selectable setting primarily meant for larger personalities and commercial users. I’m actually surprised they aren’t auto-following more people. They must weed the list down a little bit every few months or so.
whatever. he should grow up. does he play video games, too?
You are correct. I'll bet Karl Rove even follows you. He follows two of my Twitter accounts. It's not because he's a fan of me. He must be on auto-follow. He follows almost as many as follow him. I've heard in the past that Obama is known to follow all that follows him.
A bit like the chicken and the egg. Most likely they followed Obama before Obama followed them. It's the nature of Twitter.
