Fascinating stuff. I guess the grey ecosystem is evolving on Twitter. A look at his followers - https://twitter.com/#!/Swagstro/followers - implies nearly all are fake just from their descriptions... not the '18 luv sex lol' fake but some sort of algorithmically generated description that seems legit until you compare it with all his other followers. Most are a riff on the following: "Thinker. Writer. Bacon buff. Typical music ninja. Extreme entrepreneur. Web geek. Social media fan. Devoted reader. Subtly charming troublemaker".

Anyone know anything more about this? Are there companies overtly selling followers?
