Twitter Follows Chain Gang Donate for the Cryptome archive of files from June 1996 to the present 15 October 2013 Twitter Follows Chain Gang Until today Cryptome has followed nobody on Twitter to avoid contaminating them. Starting with a single follow of John Perry Barlow, Cryptome followed all those suggested by Twitter for twenty degrees of separation, a machinic-dispensed chain of 278 follows, gradually decreasing to a single suggestion. Beginning with suggested follows slightly similar to Cryptome, the separations slowly degenerated into distant dissimilarities, toward the end into a heavy dose of famous celebrities and giant firms like Google, Facebook, Microsoft and their employees, consultants and investors. Then, exhausting the paid promotional crowd, there were a few desparate suggestions of those little connected to anything prededing follows, ending with, for no clear reason, and could have been any innocent, the estimable Shawn Wildermuth. John, meet Shawn, now chain-ganged with Cryptome and 276 contaminateds, which, if all has gone according to Twitter's promotional plan for IPO, will be, by diabolically devious degrees of in-separation, chain-ganged with all its follows and followers into abject servitude, stored at the Library of Congress for chain-linking whoever the spying advertizers for the national security state must collar for inescapability. 278 follows in reverse order of chaining: file:///C|/following/twitter-chain-gang.htm[10/15/2013 9:12:57 AM] Cryptome (Cryptomeorg) on Twitter Tweets Following Followers Favorites Cryptome Lists @Cryptomeorg New York, New York · cryptome.org Who to follow · Refresh Tim Heuer @timheuer Follow 22 278 6,159 1 Edit profile carlfranklin @carlfranklin TWEETS FOLLOWING FOLLOWERS Follow Jesse Liberty @JesseLiberty Follow Following Find more suggestions Shawn Wildermuth @ShawnWildermuth Following Author, trainer, software guy, Braves fan, guitar player, Xbox maven, coffee addict and Trends · Change astronomy fan.
