    The Twitter Underground Economy: A Blooming Business
    – A study on Dealers, Abusers and fake Twitter Accounts

Most Twitter users try the standard way to get popular and gain followers: constantly tweet funny quotes or comments, discuss breaking events, or disclose information that many people want (like Guy Adams did).

One of these ways is buying Twitter followers, which right or wrong, is a significantly growing trend.
