Fake Friends: This cool app lets you know who’s faking followers on Twitter

Some tweeps will always feel the need to cheat to get ahead. Well, thanks to technology, anybody can find out who is faking their Twitter presence.

We’ve been investigating some handles and you won’t believe who is real and who is fake.

You can do your own investigations on twitteraudit.com.

It only takes a few moments.

Twitter Audit says, “Each audit takes a random sample of 5000 Twitter followers for a user and calculates a score for each follower. This score is based on number of tweets, date of the last tweet, and ratio of followers to friends. We use these scores to determine whether any given user is real or fake. Of course, this scoring method is not perfect but it is a good way to tell if someone with lots of followers is likely to have increased their follower count by inorganic, fraudulent, or dishonest means.”
