I received a reply from the author and he said that he was only interested in information regarding his 'business plan.' He even went as far to say that his use of Twitter was marketing savvy. I have no idea where he gets that since almost all of his Twitter followers were bogus. It's a basic 'if a tree falls in the woods' question. If he's Twittering 109 times on one day only to illegitimate accounts what does it matter? It didn't accomplish anything. Nobody knew he existed on Twitter until he mentioned it and was over by then.
It certainly was a very odd approach to journalism. He wrote an article about a 'business' that lasted for four days and didn't actually make any money.
