Followers with no tweets?

    Hi,

    Someone asked me today why they're getting a noticeable number of follower requests from people with many, many followers themselves but no tweets.

    Am I right to assume these are people who migrated from MySpace to build up a large target audience ripe for spam or sale of account?

    I remember the "MySpace message my 1,000,000 friends for $5" threads when MySpace had a monopoly a few years ago.

    Some people follow people to get followed back in return

    Why would you want this if you have no tweets? I've seen people with tens of thousands of followers and followees but not a single tweet. It seems very odd to me.
