I am sure a couple of weeks after followers sold, a portion of people will start to unfollow as they see new tweets which most prob. going to be either spam or adverts.

It is a double edged sword as you put it :) yes, i also see suspension and wand warnings a little harsh as well, but yet again it is not right to sell your followers without their permission.

I for one would never sell my followers even the ones who don't add value to my network (if there was such a thing as per user basis). Interestingly enough you mention choices and we make them on a daily basis; what i'm about to say has sparked alot of debate in social media, especially twitter.<br><br>Fact is that third party apps have given us the freedom to choose a variety of methods (copywriting, analayzing, following / unfollowing tweeps, competing, RT'ing etc etc.) and its left us with a plethora of choices. If twitter and developers are giving us these choices then the repurcussions such as suspension or warnings seem a little harsh to me. <br><br>Its like a double edged sword really.. Any thoughts you have on this @Fadi & Beiruta? Anyone else, Bueller, Bueller? :-) Good post people.

I mean if someone that I follow decided to sell me to another one, I am entitled to know and have say - at least -! I don't like that game! Bet your followers! Not funny at all!
