Every once in a while I get a small shock when I see who is following me on Twitter. Those two lovely ladies I thought were legitmate fans? Yeah, not so much. So the presence of porn marketers on twitter should not be a surprise. However, I did find one other follower a bit of a surprise. Augustine25 is not somebody I know. I’m not even sure why he/she is following me. That is, I didn’t know why I was being followed until I realized that Augustine25 was having a Twitter debate with someone I am following, Drdigipol. The debate, at turns sarcastic and informative (sometimes both), was a broad ranging political debate that touched on many of the issues one which the American right and left are facing off. You know, the Hitler-Obama comparisons, etc.
I have spent a lot of time wondering what the tactic in following someone who is arguing with someone you follow may be. Perhaps Augustine wants to see what his opponents followers think. If some might be moved to join the fray against their colleague? I’d welcome any comments on this.
On a separate note, joining the mailing lists for two separate online campaigns is proving very telling. My email inbox is full of requests to sign online petitions to legalize bhangi and end the death sentence. We’ll see about that. Perhaps the current administration can do both and I can follow Augustine25 as he/she tears his/her hair out over it.
