Explain This Twitter Thing... "Uhhh I seem to have accidentally walked from Davis to Harvard Sq..."

[josephineave.livejournal.com]

I have a Twitter search set up for "Davis Sq" just to see if there's anything going on that I might have missed.

I keep seeing the following message, posted by seemingly random people at random times. I did a Google search and found nothing.


Uhhh I seem to have accidentally walked from Davis to Harvard Sq…

It's been tweeted about 10 times in the last 3 days.

Anyone have a clue what it's about?

They serve the same purpose as any other spambot -- cluttering the internet with search engine linkbait -- and the more real a spambot's account looks, the more likely it is to stick around for a while and keep getting indexed. You could still see the output of a spambot if it addressed you with an @ and you checked your Mentions, or if someone you follow accidentally or deliberately RT'd something from the bot.
