2. Interesting find over on twitter: an army of fake accounts all posting the same time thing.

I had to go back and grab some of these links so I'm trying this again.

Just following the hashtags, there are hundreds of twitter accounts blasting the same tweet at the same time to make this a treading topic. These aren't retweets, this is hundreds of twitter accounts, supposedly run by bloggers, independently tweeting the same thing at the same time, all independently of each other.

Many of these accounts are using the logo of a social media marketing network as their avatar. Yeah, definitely no shilling going on over there.
