Yesterday we tweeted (@agencyspy) about how sometimes we get anonymous tips about random things, like spelling errors and how it’s lame (though admittedly very helpful) that we get a e-mails now and then about them. Truthfully, it’s helpful when you guys let us know about this stuff, but sometimes we joke about it and that’s what we did yesterday. Well someone thought this was rude of us (which, maybe it was — we’re human) and tried to get the Twitter community to #unfollow us. The tweet bounced around from the originator to two “unfollow” accounts (who presumably just blindly retweet people’s unfollow tweets. The net result: we gained followers. Thanks for the help, dude we offended.
