Become Popular, Buy Twitter Followers

Yes, you can purchase followers for your Twitter page from a site called uSocial.net. News to me.

Furthermore, in a press release I received in email, it's contended that 25,000 Twitter followers were purchased for Michael Jackson.

“I can't admit that we dealt with Michael Jackson directly, though we were in touch with someone in his family recently who tasked us with conducting a Twitter campaign on an account relating to him.” Said uSocial.net CEO Leon Hill. “It was exciting to say the very least to conduct work with such a big name.”

uSocial say that 25,000 followers were bought to be delivered to Jackson’s account and they’re still working on fulfilling the order.

“For obvious reasons we'll be dealing with his family from here on in, though it would have been great to conduct services for Michael Jackson in a different time, under different circumstances.” Said Hill.

The service being delivered to Jackson’s account has caused a lot of controversy over the last few months as many users debate the ethics of being able to purchase followers, though not as much as the company itself has received since its launch.

In December uSocial received a Cease & Desist notice from Digg.com regarding its paid social bookmarking services which the company ignored, and recently they also received threats of legal action from some of Australia’s largest names in radio, Kyle Sandilands and the Austereo network.

Despite all this, it seems the company are still battling on at full steam, with no sign of slowing down or shutting up shop.

Seems like a for-profit community organizing effort, eh?
