Free Republic Catches Fake Twitter Accounts Pimping Rachel Maddow's Show
— Ace

Lots and lots of 'em.

This is done to get her show "trending" on Twitter. The Twitter software deems a hashtag, like #maddow, "trending" if it gets a certain number of mentions in a period of time. I don't know the actual algorithm and I bet it's a proprietary secret, but if enough Twitter accounts include #maddow in their tweets, #maddow goes to the "trending" list and gets, basically, free publicity on every Twitter homepage in the world.

Some of these fake accounts feature a butterface showing off her cleavage so Twitchy notes this with the headline "Busty Squad of Fake Rachel Maddow Fans Promote Her Show With Identical Spam Tweets.

You had me at Busty Squad.

Posted by: teej at March 02, 2013 10:32 AM (r60DJ)

90 Interesting idea. What's really strange though is twitter's new fancy algorithm is supposed to look at non hashtag words as well and determine if they're trending. (Hence during something like St. Paddy's day you might see "Luck of" trending a lot because it breaks "Luck of" off from "Irish" which would be it's own trend.) So you'd think this would backfire and create a lot of "football" trends instead. (I'm wondering if Twitter prioritizes hash tags when calculating trending.) There's a market pressure for twitter to solve this problem of course because the MSNBC team is basically using this cheap system to bypass the "promoted" trend they sell. It'll be interesting to see if twitter does do anything.

100 Day 1:

In the dark early morning I awoke to the sound of gunfire in the distance. I slowly rolled out of bed and on to the floor. Although I had boarded up the windows and doors the night before I didn't want to turn on lights. Of course, it would not have matter as the power station had been raided while I was asleep and the heartbeat of modern living had ceased.

I groped for a flashlight and held it against my hand as I turned it on. I made my way to the window in the front in which I had cut a series of peepholes and looked out into the neighborhood. It was as still as any other early morning I had known, but I knew things had changed.

A figure on a bicycle rolled down the street, a familiar shadow of days past that made me pause and wonder if I was still asleep. The figure reached into a pack, retrieved a bundle, and tossed it with unstudied ease. It was Davey from a block over carrying on with his newspaper route.

Maybe things hadn't become disjointed. Maybe we had gone through the troubles and come out the otherside unscathed. Maybe our problem was only just a passing comet.

A whip cracked and Davey's bike fell on its side skidding to a halt. Davey did not move.

I turned off my flashlight still cupped in my hand and retreated back into my room.

This was no dream. This was the Sequester.

Posted by: soothsayer at March 02, 2013 02:15 PM (yhYn1) ------------- Is there anyone here who wants the "status quo," the bloated federal government, the fiscal insanity, the established anti-Constitutional leviathan? We want reform and restoration of the Founders' principles, no? We want CHANGE. The Left is the Establishment now, a ruling class of "experts" that seeks desperately to hold onto its position. As it becomes more and more evident that the Glorious Kingdom will not really come, as the promises become increasingly laughable, the Left seeks ever more power out of fear that its ironclad rule will disintegrate. The Right has a lot of problems with marketing, but having to operate from a "status quo" position is not one of them.

Well, a few things are cheering me up a bit here in the land of Cheeseheads - the John Doe investigation of Scott Walker was dropped because they didn't find a damn thing - and the Madison moonbats are enraged.

 

And Milwaukee County Sheriff Dave Clarke has doubled down on his pro-gun stance. He has done another public service announcement urging citizens to buy guns:

 

"The sheriff says a "soft on crime court system" puts armed criminals back on area streets, but that residents can get a gun to protect themselves.

 

"Now it's the crook who has to wonder what you might do," Clarke says. "It could be a great equalizer, but you always have to think survival.""

But in your next paragraph you do suggest one thing we MUST do, which is to hold the rich, the too-big-to-fail businesses up to that standard. If we stand against crony socialism, we can more easily stand against individual entitlement socialism. We can attack the Rich, but NOT in the way the Left does.

Is it going to be an actual docking this time, or another one of those "just fly real close and we'll reach out and grab you the Doritos Taco Bell (TM) Canadarm"?

Posted by: Assault Citizen Anachronda at March 02, 2013 03:16 PM (1c58W) Yes, you're right. The correct term is "berthing", not "docking". The headline was wrong. But the fact that Dragon will be allowed to approach the ISS is exciting, after the problems it experienced yesterday.

#Sequester diaries

Day 2-  It seems forever since I ate.   Wielding my knife I struggle to bring my prey to submission.  I pant with the exertion, as a single bead of sweat begins to roll slowly down my forehead.   I shake aside the distraction.  Must focus on one final push to make this awful mess edible.  My stomach snarls with hunger. 

 

Man I wish Mrs. Muldoon wouldn't store the peanut butter in the fridge.

215 Take a can of your gasoline. Say this can of gasoline is the sequester. Now, you spread a thin line of it to a ball, representing the earth. Now, the gasoline represents the draconian cuts, the fiscal particles. Here we saturate the ball with the sequester, the stinginess. Then we put a flame to the ball. The flame will speedily travel around the earth, back along the line of gasoline to the can, or the sequester itself. It will explode this source and spread to every place that gasoline, our sequester, touches. Explode the sequester here, gentlemen, you explode the universe. Explode the sequester here and a chain reaction will occur direct to the sequester itself and to all the planets that politics touches, to every planet in the universe. This is why you must be stopped. This is why any means must be used to stop you.

The switch mocks me from the wall plate, a symbol of my vulnerability, a white plastic stud mocking me with mute squareness. What if the light only reveals the ravaged landscape, the starving masses, the squalor of want? I retreat and crawl under the covers. I wait until tomorrow to leave.
