Leading theory has moved from blaming fake followers to blaming suggested users list, I like this one better: http://tinyurl.com/bnj6cl

90,000 followers? Is this really a good idea? Are we that desperate for attention? http://is.gd/kEMv

Brooks, this definitely seems to be the case. What really pointed to bot scripting was the exponential increase in followers to “suggested” account in recent weeks. These accounts were gaining 5-10% increase in followers day over day.

And this is the problem — Twitter needs to figure out a way to run maintenance more regularly and perhaps more aggressively, which may require a revision in their terms.

The onslaught of spam bots on twitter has always seemed inevitable. The greatest concern is what could happen when the bots release their venom. Can Twitter possibly get ahead of the Hacker curve?

what keeps getting glossed over is the scripting that *is* occurring. with "services" like tweetergetter ppl are creating scores of bot accounts. this has been documented already in the comments of my blog.

why wouldn't the script include the "suggested users" feature as part of the bot account creation process? it seems like the easiest way for a scripted account to have some follows (for appearance sake, maybe).

hell, even ev said nefarious things *were* occurring.
