Someone actually created a pyramid scheme for Twitter popularity.

Are you joking? This is one of literally HUNDREDS of such sites that exist for "gaining Twitter followers fast." If you've ever dealt with the Twitter API and filtering out spam you'll know what I mean. It's ridiculous.

It's funny how self-conscious that bird on the right looks.

These have been around for at least a year. First one I saw was tweetergetter -- it's some other b.s. on that domain now.

I wonder how much Twitter's server costs would go down if they could just ditch all the clueless marketers following other clueless marketers through this type of idiocy and FURR (Follow, Unfollow, Rinse & Repeat)

This one asks, quite directly, for your password. I can't imagine this is anything but a scam for stealing Twitter accounts.

I don't think that's the case. They just want access to your account so they can make it auto follow the next round of suckers. They probably are too lazy or don't know how to implement OAuth.

this site looks like a blatant scam and phishing site: twitter password, they may use twitter authentication. I won't use it.

I just threw up a little in my mouth. Sorry about that.

I didn't need that mental image while having my breakfast, thank you.
