I signed up for but never used Tiny Post, and I'm still getting emails about people following me. People with very similar accounts to the ones Dave mentioned.

I signed up for but never used Tiny Post, and I'm still getting emails about people following me. People with very similar accounts to the ones Dave mentioned.
For example, check out this profile: http://tinypost.co/users/jonig/#tab1 http://tinypost.co/users/jonig/#tab1
If you go through the list of people that "Joni" follows, you'll see that most of them don't seem to have posted anything either.
- dave1619 14y agoYeah, that profile has the same stats as the people following me: 4 posts, around 3000 likes and 7000 following. Plus the user looks like an attractive model. I wonder how many of these fake profiles they have going. I would love to hear what Tiny Post was/is thinking.
- mcantelon 14y agoI am amused by whatever they've concocted to create those paint-by-numbers hipster meme-y images.
- flipstewart 14y agoThe images seem to be lifted from Pinterest(Google Image search found a lot of the photos on the fake profiles on Pinterest, among other sites, but Pinterest was the common one).
- drivebyacct2 14y agoLinked to from there is: http://tinypost.co/users/abhishek888/#tab1 http://tinypost.co/users/abhishek888/#tab1 It's like a self-growing ghost town.
- processing 14y agothis doesn't look good. Reverse image on that profile pic and it comes up with a person not called Joni Gilbert. http://lookbook.nu/look/3792401-Sport-chic http://lookbook.nu/look/3792401-Sport-chic
- flipstewart 14y agoI was about to post the same thing. Both the posts and the profile pictures seem to come from Pinterest.
