Twitter - Pay Per Follower
AS if your Facebook friends list didn’t make you feel lonely enough, now you’re bombarded with Twitter mates who seem to have racked up 10,000 followers before you’ve worked out what a hash tag is for.
There’s no need to panic - there’s nothing wrong with you. Those that matter really do care about your commute.
Just rest easy in the knowledge that all the others are buying their friends.
Yes, just as it was with other social networking sites such as StumbleUpon and Digg, web traffic and promotion company uSocial.net says it has had a “massive response” to offering Twitter users “follower packages” if they are having trouble attaining them on their own.
The packages are aimed at businesses and start with 1000 followers ($US87) and range up to 100,000 ($US3479).
From a business point of view, uSocial.net claims each follower is worth “about 10c” to a business.
