Comments on: Is Social Media becoming like High School? http://gearyi.com/fresh/social-media-is-becoming-like-high-school/ Geary's Collaborative Thoughts about What's New and Fresh Fri, 08 Apr 2011 17:43:30 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: nicmcc http://gearyi.com/fresh/social-media-is-becoming-like-high-school/comment-page-1/#comment-191 nicmcc Wed, 22 Oct 2008 16:00:08 +0000 http://www.gearyi.com/fresh/social-media-is-becoming-like-high-school/#comment-191 I totally agree & have had several conversations regarding this recently due to a strange increase in my follower count this week. I noticed an increase in my followers on 10/20 after following @TheBusyBrain over the weekend. He wrote a blog post on Monday titled "How I got over 600 NEW Twitter Followers in 24 hours - Let me help you!". Since I signed up for Qwitter last week, I noticed that some of the people that began following me unfollowed me within hours, which seemed to be the ol' bait & switch for one to increase their follower counts, while taking advantage of folks that generally reciprocate follows. It seems there were a lot of people like me who were miffed by @TheBusyBrain's "experiment", so an apology followed. His newest post is titled "To the Twitter Community - My Tit-Tat-Tweet Apology". Needless to say I unfollowed him as soon as I read his initial post.
