(PRBuzz.com) December 4, 2012 -- Since its launch in October TweetFeat.com has been responsible for providing hundreds of thousands of followers to the adult industry, music stars and business leaders.
Though the ability to buy Twitter followers has been available for years, the industry courted worldwide controversy in July when Barracuda Labs suggested that the Mitt Romney campaign may have purchased followers. In August TheNew York Times reported that around 70% of both Lady Gaga and President Obama's Twitter accounts contained fake followers.
The market is unsurprisingly secretive, a phenomenon that Harry Smith, TweetFeat's co-founder, is keen to dispel: "At the moment we are able to offer 250,000 followers for $350, but I know other dealers, such as FanMeNow charge above $500 for the same package. We are able to supply Twitter followers now at almost two thirds of the price we could a month ago. Other dealers might too, but we're not seeing this reflected in their prices." Smith estimates the market to be worth around $50m a year.
While the practice is not illegal, Smith accepts that users are likely to be coy about the source of their followers: "It's an amazing feeling to empower people with extra followers, but I'm certain they'd change the topic of conversation if their friends asked them for tips on how to increase their following! It's the online version of hiring an escort to accompany you to a party - the aim is to boost your social standing, but you're not going to publicise what you've done."
In August 2012, The New York Times reported that the comedian Dan Nainan boosted his Twitter following by 220,000 for $414 dollars
