Twitter has completely changed the way of social networking. It has both good and bad effect. This time it has made a very bad effect on Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd. Kevin Rudd has more than 900,000 followers and he is following about 200,000 profiles. But it includes many Adult blogs, 18+ stores, Toys goods, Adult webcams and much more. It also include his wife Therese Rein and many other top Political Parties Leaders
PM spokesman said that they have used an automated Twitter application software for him to follow. You can also manually follow someone.
Young Media vice-president Elizabeth Handsley said ” We need to understand the platform and know how it works before using it safely – this is an example of that.”
Rudd is famous for using social site Twitter as a medium for managing campaigns and recently he also tweeted about his son’s engagement.
So this is the good example of using 3rd parties applications without much attention. Its a clear case of negligence. It shows that no one is untouched from the bad effects of social networks.

900,000 followers…That’s huge amount =)
That is really a lot of followers
but i don’t think we should use automatic softwares to get so much of followers.
Connection with the followers is important. I notice all the bloggers not to blindly follow others.
Great read. Do you have a Facebook group?
