8% of Newt

Posted by sigismund on September 20, 2011, at 19:44:01

I heard today that only 8% of Newt Gingrich's followers on Twitter were real people.
The rest were astroturf. (I think that is what was said.)

Can anyone enlighten me? I'm not prepared to spend much time thinking about Twitter.

Well that was enlightening. An actual verb. I had no idea.
