From that release, "I can't admit that we dealt with Michael Jackson directly, though we were in touch with someone in his family recently who tasked us with conducting a Twitter campaign on an account relating to him." Said uSocial.net CEO Leon Hill. "It was exciting to say the very least to conduct work with such a big name."
"uSocial say that 25,000 followers were bought to be delivered to Jackson's account and they're still working on fulfilling the order."
Leon Hill, uSocial's Chief Executive certainly doesn't lack boldness. Neither does he lack enemies, as this 'fan' site suggests!
As a Twitter user, this writer is entirely unable to determine just who these thousands of 'followers' that are provided to the client might be – the whole idea of being 'provided' is a complete antithesis to the way Twitter operates.
Allow me to be bold. This is NOT how social media should work. Twitter (and Facebook et al) are all about personal inclusion, not being bought and paid for.
An open question to uSocial: who are these thousands of followers you're selling to your customers and what's in it for these followers?
What about the organisations that are doing it right (or at least better than uSocial)?
