Lisa Kraisriwatana is following 10 people on Twitter and has 13 followers. She is representative of the typical new user with Facebook-like status updates. Her last 20 tweets include zero replies and retweets. Her bio is short and to the point: I’m really popular and everyone likes me. Clearly.
Until moments ago, I didn’t know she existed. I found her by typing specific keywords at search.twitter.com and seeing this tweet of 24 hours ago:

Gaming the system doesn’t work. Being yourself does. Be simple in what you say, have faith in cosmic discovery, and anything is possible.
