<title>Got Fake Twitter Followers?</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-42649" title="Faker! " src="http://www.mediabistro.com/prnewser/files/2012/08/twitter-error-upside-thumb-300x186.jpg" alt="" width="209" height="129" />We thought we’d heard it all, but <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Twitter-profile.html">Twitter</a></strong> followers apparently now <a href="http://news.slashdot.org/story/12/08/14/1851243/inside-the-real-economy-behind-fake-twitter-followers">double as currency</a>, and “<a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/aug/09/fake-twitter-accounts-mitt-romney?newsfeed=true">clandestine Twitter trading</a>” may very well be a real thing (someone please help us figure out how this would work). At any rate, quite a few big-name accounts have found themselves in the news lately for accumulating thousands of fake followers. Is your feed hiding any fakers? Maybe you should double check.</p>
<p>Take a look at <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/StatusPeople-profile.html">StatusPeople</a></strong>’s <a href="http://fakers.statuspeople.com/">Fake Follower Check</a> to find out <a href="http://news.cnet.com/8301-1023_3-57492763-93/how-many-of-your-twitter-followers-are-fake/?part=rss&amp;subj=news&amp;tag=title">how many</a> of your besties are anything but&#8211;and let us know how it pans out.</p>
<div>
<p>BTW, don&#8217;t feel bad if you find a few fakers on your list. It can happen to the even best and brightest among us:  <a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/prnewser/got-fake-twitter-followers_b42624#more-42624" class="more-link">continued&#8230;</a></div>
