Where do these strange people on Twitter come from and why do they decide that I am someone they should follow, particularly as I never add them back?

I have blocked a couple of obvious robots, but others seem as they may be genuine people who use Twitter's advertising links to generate a little revenue here and there, but if I never visit their links or add them as someone to 'follow', where is the money?

I quite like Twitter in its own little way, but I do find Twitterings posted to LJ to be pointless, so you won't find me doing it (even if I could fathom out precisely how).

Yay! I find it bloody irritating.

All people on Twitter are strange except me and thee and I'm not so sure about thee...

Anyhoo; I see you've found me now!
