Follow Shoemoneys’ Strategy and Increase Twitter Followers

Shoemoney cheated twitter system to increase his twitter followers. Jeremy Schoemaker took benefit of follow back trend of twitter and raised his number of followers.

…Isn’t this what spammers do? I do think it is unethical and a bit greedy because ultimately it isn’t about relationships for him it’s more about conversion rates. Converting followers into potential customers which that is basically what he promotes. Like Wayne said social media in general is like that. You can either garner a ton of followers or reciprocate. It just depends on what type of person you are. Just like with celebrities they want huge followers, but they don’t follow back. I don’t believe it is right to disregard the people that you profit off of when it is in your power to directly interact with them.

Sarah Palin: Feminism Was Hijacked By "A Cackle of Rads"

Sarah Palin took to her Twitter today, the 90th anniversary of women’s suffrage, to philosophize on an age-old lady issue: Feminists. What are they

…)”.
What the dickens is a “cackle of rads”?

Cabal of radicals
The best punk band you’ve never heard of
The most violent of the violent English soccer hooligans
Enviable laughter emanating from the cool kids’ table
Illiterate nonsense from some idiot’s Twitter feed
A series of words meaning nothing, but which can be put on t-shirts

Anyway, happy voting anniversary to all the gals out there! Now stop asking for things, okay?…

…Saturday night, a tweet appeared then quickly vanished on teen heartthrob Justin Bieber’s verified Twitter account: “everyone call me 248-XXX-XXXX :) or text”. The number belonged to a teen in Detroit, and Justin apparently tweeted it out of revenge.
Saturday night a little before midnight, Justin tweeted this:

A few minutes later, the tweet disappeared. But not before thousands if not hundreds of thousands of Justin’s followers retweeted it with expressions of multi-exclamated astonishment. Was that actually Justin’s number!?
The number actually belongs to a Detroit teenager named Kevin Kristopik. At around 1am Sunday morning Kristopik tweeted “Thanks for giving out my…

Kan. GOP candidate’s campaign links to racist blog

Republican congressional candidate Mike Pompeo apologized Thursday after his campaign posted on its Twitter feed and Facebook page a link to a blog that uses a racial slur to refer to his Democratic opponent and calls President Barack Obama an “evil muslim communist USURPER.”

…racist in the same sentence. That’s a real shocker 10Anonymous and then trying to get a pass for being ignorant. 11Anonymous ..posted the link to the wrong Google alert on Wednesday before the campaign realized the mistake and removed it an hour later. In other words it took an hour for a non racist person to see it and complain. I wouldn’t have such contempt for the republicans if they would just come out and admit they are racist, rather than hide it behind a myriad of excuses and lies. I have more respect for the KKK because they at least admitted their hatred for everyone. Except they hid behind sheets which tells me they too knew it was wrong to be racist just too cowardly to admit who they were. So I guess the gop has a long history of nurturing the hatred they all have inside them. What a wonderful group of people. 12AnonymousNot an accident just good ole’ republcan politics. When a party has no ideas that is all they can run on. Whats truly pathetic is the voters don’t care if they have ideas as long…

Slashdot Technology Story | Can Twitter and Facebook Deal Wi

Barence writes; One and a half million Facebook users die each year. Twitter faces a similar mortality rate. Yet the social networks have been relatively slow to deal with the uncomfortable business of death

…As a funeral director I can make a few observations.Deleting the accounts is a bad idea. Many of these accounts serve as online memorials to people’s loved ones. Even if the person is no longer around to post or update their profiles, loved ones may take comfort in the fact that the deceased is still in their social network. Many of the people using social networks are still young people and most of their deaths are unexpected (accidents, suicides, homicides) and many of the survivors are still dealing with the reality of the situation. I think many of these companies need to be sensitive to the needs of the grieving and in an age where user loyalty is everything they should hold onto these accounts in the interests of of being sensitive to the grieving who make up part of their still alive user base.If you ever want access to the content of somebody who died then you need to have the executor of the estate forward a page from the will outlining who the executor of the will is and a copy of the funeral…
