Friend bots switch to Twitter
Currently, bots that are friends of everyone in a row end up spuding "In Touch" and smoothly go to Twitter.
A year ago, a mass friend friend’s bots in LiveJournal. They could be identified by the following signs: all posts are “locked up”, in order not to be indexed by search engines, there are many friends in the bot profile, but few of them are friends, posts about “supposedly life”, not a single video clip from Youtube. In 2009, the friend bots went to the "holey" service "V kontakte"
The massive launch of php scripts and sending out requests made it possible to send bundles of friends with very narrow samples. Later the holes were closed, hidden, but the wave did not sleep.
When Odnoklassniki introduced paid registration, the bots in Vkontakte became even more aggressive. Moreover, if the purpose of bots appearance in LJ was not clear, then in the largest social network the goal was to capture new accounts through the holes of the network itself and the infected sites. Signs of a bot: an erotic photo as an avatar, an infected profile site. Given the large crowds of erect youngsters in this network, such a blunt-cheeky method bore fruit.
In 2010, Friend bots spilled over to Twitter. Although all expectations were done on Facebook. But Facebook is more protected from left registrations, obstacles for automatic batch adding of friends and, compared with Twitter, not so rapid growth in runet.

Judging by the methods of promoting friend bots, this is the same strategy as Vkontakte. The attackers are aiming at the spread of viruses, attracting visitors to infected sites. A sign of a bot is an erotic photo of a blonde in the form of an avatar, just two or three posts on the “vital” topic in the stream. Complete absence and inability to use tinyurl or bit.ly.
Which is understandable. Additional gemmor in automating the creation of a short link. Link to someone else's server, which can quickly cover. And why give a potential victim a choice? Just specify a harmful site in the profile. Click fools there.
From here we draw conclusions that the social network is the most secure and unsuitable for reproduction of "left" friends is Facebook.
And Twitter will soon lose the status of "star". And in the same row with Tina Kandelaki, Irene Ponaroshku and other advanced celebrities, marinka84, marinka85, marinka86 and other automatically generated users will appear.
