Anyone who knows me will tell you I’m no fan of Twitter. It’s a pointless mass of white noise in my opinion.

But – if you’re the kind of sad individual who values quantity above quality – here’s a tip for you…

I play with Twitter – (only because I hate it so much, and as research for posts like this). Overnight I got 200+ new followers, and they are still coming in at the rate of around ten to twenty  an hour.

How? Very simple, just add the ‘big name’ Internet Marketers to your Twitter account.

If you don’t know who they are – they aren’t hard to find. You probably already have mails from the likes of Eban Pagan and Yaro Starak in your spam folder, having been ‘tempted’ into subscribing to their mailing list to download some free useless information in the past…

Your new followers will for the most part be generated by bots, and be of no use whatsoever – and are only from sad ‘get rich quick on the Internet’ types – but it’ll up your numbers.

We’ve all seen the hype about Twitter – my god even Oprah got into it (loved the look on her face on that show when she realized just how much she gave to charity – you’d think they were about to empty her bank account!)…

Lets face it – what is Twitter – it a means to scream out into the world stuff it doesn’t want to hear – are you really that desperate for friends…? It’s millions of people shouting out on a CB radio looking for friends (or should I say readers) but getting nothing but sales pitches back. I tested it out recently on behalf of a client. What do you get, millions of bloggers selling crap ‘following’ you.

Twitter has no substance, no longevity and is nothing more than a silly Internet fad (look what happened to MySpace). It’s not useful in any commercial sense to a small business, and it’s time consuming for very little in return. It’s nothing more than hype…

Watch it crumble fairly quickly now its got polluted (as everything does) by your get rick quick merchants , the Clickbank report sellers, and scam merchants.

Yes, you can spend all day “tweeting” (how stupid does that sound) and beg people to visit your site, and you visit theirs in return, but for one minute have you thought about the quality of that traffic? What you are getting other than sad “I´m going to be millionaire one day” bloggers – just like you – without two cents to rub together to buy the crap you are selling (they are probably selling the same crap too anyway…).

Is Twitter the new way to fame and fortune for wannabes – somehow I doubt it….

Don’t believe me? Then why not look at something like the “Turbo Cash Generator” (love the name – very catchy) – this person claim to make over $3,000 a day.. Call me a cynic – I am!
