Ask HN: Where to buy Twitter followers (as a gag gift)?

by hissworks on 2/28/13, 9:11 PM with 6 comments

I'd like to buy an outrageous number of twitter followers for a friend's account on his birthday. Zero expectation that it'll have any real impact on his profile - it's strictly an absurd joke of a gift. The trouble is sorting out where to buy followers (bots or real, preferably a mix) from a 'reputable' company that won't just run off with the money. Considered emailing someone on the Romney 2012 campaign but short of that I thought someone here might have the answer.

    Haven't tried it myself, but it seems promising.

    I've done that to a friend before. Created a Facebook fan page in his name and got 1000 "Likes" from fiverr.com. Was a pretty funny gag.

    Feebay has all sorts of auctions from followers to sponsored Tweets.

    I've actually done a similar thing using fiverr.com
