By now many people have heard about the Status People web app that determines if your twitter followers are fake.
I briefly contemplated buying followers way back when I had 500 followers and I wanted to get the bigger review opportunities. I quickly realized though that it was stupid, dishonest and unethical and I didn’t want to do that. I wanted real followers and I don’t like doing things “wrong.” Ask my husband, he calls me his good girl. I find lots of things morally wrong that he considers okay sometimes.

I just wanted to say… JUST SAY NO!!
My name is Kathleen Garber and I love blogging and social media. I've been blogging on and off since 2003 and this blog is just one of many that I run.
Very well said! Seeing my blog and followers grow naturally makes me proud of my accomplishment, it must not feel very good to know you are buying your success!
