On slowness
Okay, so there is one more point I want to call @tj out on. Slowness.
I’ll let two screenshots speak for themselves. They’ve both been taken right now, The favrd one snapped after the favstar one.
Favrd:
Favstar:
The point I’m trying to make here is that favstar isn’t always slower. 3 weeks ago it was. It’s improved, and will continue to do so.
Peace.
15 hours ago is forever in the Twitter world.
What I refer to as slowness is this:
I posted http://twitter.com/tj/statuses/3601177888 an hour and 15 minutes ago.
It has 12 stars on Favrd: http://favrd.textism.com/tweet/3601177888 (and it was previously 9, so Favrd’s been past twice).
It doesn’t even appear on Favstar.
As for the bot situation, all I know is that when I saw someone the other day posting on Twitter “Help X get to 100 stars on this post!” I looked at it and it had ~26 on Favrd and 90+ on Favstar, and at least half of them were accounts I recognized as bots that had mass-followed everyone who went to the NYC tweetup. I realized this may not be normative, but there are definitely people who are gaming the system, and it’s going to be an ongoing problem to try to solve. I gave up trying to block all the bots who follow me because it takes time I don’t want to spend.
