There has been much made of fake accounts on twitter and Facebook, and when you read the stories you’re hit with the realisation that your posts could be talking to bots, rather than potential customers. So I really enjoyed using http://fakers.statuspeople.com/, a service that promises to tell you how many of your twitter followers are real people. Whilst it’s clearly a bit of fun, rather than a definitive profile of your followers, I was pretty pleased to be told that 94% of my followers were good, with just 2% fake, and 4% inactive.
