Comments on: Are You a Twitter Whore? http://crastinate.com/2009/01/02/are-you-a-twitter-whore/ A Blog by Ely Rosenstock Mon, 15 Feb 2010 00:26:33 -0600 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Steven http://crastinate.com/2009/01/02/are-you-a-twitter-whore/comment-page-1/#comment-480 Steven Sun, 04 Jan 2009 16:41:10 +0000 http://crastinate.com/?p=393#comment-480 I seem to be bothered most by the folks that follow me and then unfollow me a few days later if I don't follow them back. I think they just follow people to get the follow back and then monitor who's not following and drop them. It's like there doing it just to get followers. These folks are definitely whores. There are plenty of people I follow that don't follow me back and people that follow me that I don't follow back. Read a few of my tweets and if you like them, follow me. Do a few @replies and if we hit it off, I'll follow back. Anyway, sorry for ranting. This just bugs me.

If you're interested in doing a real experiment let me know. I've been dabbling with the Twitter API recently and wrote some little test programs that get data and post data from/to Twitter.
