The Insider Twitter reports are in and as I keep saying 24% of all Tweets come from bots and not humans. The “Inside Twitter” report was generated by Sysomos. Many of the most active users are actually automated. The great people at Mashable found that 32% of all tweets made by the most active Twitter users were generated by machine bots that posted more than 150 tweets/day.
I never check my followers due to all the spam bots and in fact, I did a petition a month ago to @ev to ask him to start controlling the rise of the Twitter bots. I get followers who follow 800 people and are followed by 12 with 2 tweets! What?! Twitter bot. I don’t even know the purpose of these bots anymore but they exist and they are alive and well.
