For some reason, a guy in who-knows-where has a truly staggering number of Twits he's following. I am one of them. I didn't think anything of it, until I followed a totally random tweet off the public feed, and sure enough, he was following them, too! This guy or girl apparently has no life.
Figure this out for me: someone's been on Twitter for a grand total of eleven days, but he has amassed an incredible fifteen thousand, eight-hundred eighty people he or she is following. And he or she is being followed by over two thousand people.
I just refreshed the page, and there are another fifteen new follows.

What the fuck?
I mean, to amass 15,895 follows in eleven days, you'd have to do about 1400 of them every single day. Assuming they have ten hours free per day to do this, that's 140 per hour, or one every 25 seconds or so. How the hell can you even click fast enough to find that many new people to follow? And why would you do it?
If it's a bot, it's a decently clever one. If it's a person, I'd say they need to get a hobby. A different hobby.
