Sep 26 2013 Majority of Obama’s Twitter Followers Are Fake Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the biggest Twitter fake of them all? Is it Michelle Obama? Nearly 2 million of First Lady Michelle Obama’s Twitter followers are not real. According to the Twitter analytics application Status People, 37 percent of Michelle Obama’s 5,290, 506 Twitter followers — or approximately 1,957,487 followers — are considered fake. Thirty-five percent of her followers are inactive, and 28 percent are considered “good,” or real. No. There is someone phonier still in Twitterworld: Among influential U.S. political tweeters, President Barack Obama is the undisputed king of the fake followers. A MailOnline analysis ranks his sizable Twitter following as the most deceptive total among the 21 most influential accounts run by American politicians: More than 19.5 million of his 36.9 million Twitter followers are accounts that don’t correspond to real people. The four phoniest accounts in the sample, which included Democratic and Republican Party leaders in Washington, D.C., were those belonging to President Obama, Vice President Joe Biden, first lady Michelle Obama and the White House communications shop. Of the president’s 36.9 million Twitter followers, an astonishing 53 per cent – or 19.5 million – are fake accounts, according to a search engine at the Internet research vendor StatusPeople. Just 20 per cent of Obama’s Twitter buddies are real people who are active users. Massive numbers of inactive followers are often acquired by buying blocks of followers. I wonder whose money Obama, Joke Biden, the Bitter Half, and the gang would spend on something like that?
