?Visual Twitter? Site Tiny Post Uses Bots To Test User Engagement, Gets Called Out

Lesson for social networking startups: don't mess around with your early adopters. Tiny Post, the 500 Startups company that lets users post photos with short messages attached to them (like a visual Twitter), has been called out by one of its users for putting bots on the network to follow legitimate people on the site. To its immense credit, the minute we alerted the company to this, co-founder Dick Brouwer admitted that he was doing this, to test user engagement, and said he would take down the bots immediately.
