I'd Rather Go Naked Than FUR

Follow. Unfollow. Repeat.

Follow. Unfollow. Repeat.

You’ve seen them. They’re out there, on Twitter, in their thousands, adopting the FUR system: follow, unfollow, repeat.

Why do they do it? Two reasons.

  1. Twitter lists your followers in reverse-chronological order. The newest person to follow you goes on the very top of the first page. When others check out who is on your followers list, they’ll see these new people, and may well follow them, too. This works in a similar principle to the first page of results on Google.
