What companies have solved the Twitter reputation problem reliably?
Certainly this is just a matter of looking at the followers, seeing how old those accounts are, how long they've been tweeting, and coming up with some sort of normalized score?
I understand there's a ton crawling, but certainly doable. Or am I overlooking something?
- msvan 14y agoI guess what you're overlooking is that there is little financial incentive to do this. No one makes money revealing fake identities; the money is in making them.
- the_cat_kittles 14y agoseems like twitter itself should have significant financial incentive to do this
- corin_ 14y agoIf there's enough financial incentive for services like Klout (http://klout.com/home http://klout.com/home) then presumably there are two subsets of the people targeted, one who want fake followers to be counted, one who would love to be able to show "I'm legit!"
