WTF is Carly Fiorina listed as a suggested person to follow on Twitter?
Edited on Sat Jun-12-10 12:49 PM by onehandle
How is this list generated? Is it by popularity? Is she really that popular or is this a setup?

This is the business list. There is a politics list too. Shouldn't she be there?
http://twitter.com/invitations/suggestions/business

On edit, there are some people/organizations on there that don't have a lot of followers and some that barely post.

So these lists are hand built by Twitter. Or they were paid to put it there.

Which is it, Twitter?

3. Most likely a promotional from a smart group on the right.
This is my gut instincts talking...they serve me well very often.

How better to attempt to make her popular??

4. That's what my gut says, too
One of her smarter groups is trying to make her palatable to the millennials.

Good luck to them and the Red Sox. Most of those kids are informed enough to realize she nearly destroyed HP. Some of them probably got fired because of her.

6. How does Twitter make its money?
Ads on popular pages? The more followers the more money?

7. Why do people still Twitter?
It probably has something to do with the average intelligence level of Twitter users

8. TASTE the unbridled corporatism, kiddos!
SMELL the job offshoring while Marie Antoinette Fiorina granted herself lotteries.

WATCH as the USA's Arch-rightist wealthy make a desperate attempt for the U.S. to become a blatant CEO/Church-run nation by making power grabs for the lower political houses.

Chainsaw Carly is a fucking thief of the highest order. She more or less stole 8 figures from that company for doing a shit-lousy job. It's absolutely amazing. When you're wealthy, it really doesn't matter WHAT kind of job you do or how well you do it . . . you can legally STEAL money. It's all a matter of context.

9. Why does it matter? Just ignore it.
Are you being compelled to follow her? No? Then, it's a business doing business, as usual. Ignore it or quit Twitter. Do you suppose everyone is required to consult you before making business decisions? Really?

I guess I'm not even sure shy you're asking this?
