This reveals staggering truth about Twitter and Bit.ly. Microblogging, target marketing and social networking all became prevalent buzzwords on the Internet, thanks to the staggering advent of micro-blogging social platforms that Twitter represents. Twitter created sensations like Demi Twitter Suicide saga or Romania Twitter Riot in which instances both “events” stirred huge public interest. People ask themselves “What is Twitter”, search for “Lance Armstrong Twitter” and look for Twitter safety tips. And all regarding Twitter revolves around URL shortener, Bitly and its statistics, that is a core topic of this study.

TWITTER: The Dark Side Study reveals that even The New York Times was deceived; on May 7, 2009 it wrote: “Bit.ly tracks real-time statistics on how many times links are clicked and where users are coming from — information that could be valuable to companies and brands looking to measure the impact of an e-mail message, link, tweet or mention online.”

But the Case Study, using hard-core empirical data coming from four different experiments performed on Twitter and its Bit.ly makes its case that “the truth on statistics Bit.ly provides is that it is egregiously inaccurate at best and fraudulent at worst. Bit.ly presents users with phantom numbers that counts cyberspace’s ghosts and drones, robots and crawlers, presenting them as they are all humans, something they are not. "

Besides hard-core analytics that is a must for any serious marketeer and advertiser; this sensational new (October 2009) Study on Twitter and its “Dark Side”, Bitly shows

- BOTS vs. HUMANS Clicks Ratio on Twitter that is devastating for the humans,
- analytics on IP addresses of all the clicks on Bit.ly and clearly presents its findings,
- over a MILLION phony clicks on Twitter , on ONE Bit.ly link discovered.

The Study is also entertaining, having chapters like:

- are we getting stupider because of Twitter - a funny account full of hard data including,
- Obama Girl the President ardently follows,
- Celebrity Polluters,
- Insight into Followers, and assesses the key question,
- Twitter's Future? Does it have any?
