My last post related golf to photography, I noted that each hobby contained an endless supply of expensive gadgets and equipment designed to enhance your experience. Since that post I received Twitter notifications from golf and gaming organizations hoping to gain my attention. This request feels like focused spam. Obviously neither of the companies read my post to find out I have no interest in golf, I simply made an observation. I would guess these companies have some bot that is constantly searching Twitter for keywords, then automatically following accounts that include those words in their tweets. Needless to say I chose not to follow either organization and am slightly offended that they would resort to bots to gain followers. It makes me feel they are trying to game the system.
