I can't stand those twitter spamming/gaming programs that sell a fake network. (I also wrote about this a bit ago: http://nextcommunications.blogspot.com/2009/07/why-faking-your-network-is-worse-than.html) I came across "a presumably popular downloadable software that claim that you'll 'be able to time-warp past years of network building to become a Twitter Elite in a matter of days?' I really hated seeing that line in their promo page. To me the line should be corrected to read: It's ok to be a jerk-face with no real marketing or networking skills because I'll just game the system to make it look like I know what I'm doing." For me, it's still true to this day. Thanks for taking up the charge against these fake network-builders. Nicole – I’m with you.
