Obama has millions of fake Twitter followers
By David Jackson, USA TODAY
Updated 5h 16m ago
President Obama's Twitter account has 18.8 million followers -- but more than half of them really don't exist, according to reports.
A new Web tool has determined that 70% of Obama's crowd includes "fake followers," The New York Times reports in a story about how Twitter followers can be purchased.
"The practice has become so widespread that StatusPeople, a social media management company in London, released a Web tool last month called the Fake Follower Check that it says can ascertain how many fake followers you and your friends have," the Times reports.

Was it not just a few days ago that one of their operatives was proclaiming a scandal over some portion of about 100K of Romney's recent new followers being 'Purchased?' They should move out of that glass house before going nuts with the brick launcher.

All interchangeable, all named "Julie".
