Talk:Favstar

Page contents not supported in other languages.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I removed half of the text because it was extremly biased


Notable?

[edit]

The mere presence of this entire article shouts "biased advert". The site tweets replies to famous people cluttering up their streams and conversations. It appears to be nothing more than a SPAM bot. But ultimately, what is noteworthy about it that should give it a wikipedia page? Especially a page without any unbiased, objective views such as the one I've just given here (I'm not famous nor do I receive any tweets from Favstar myself). Surely there has to be some respectable published articles on the web about this apparent SPAM factory. Either notes about opposition and annoyance should be included (assuming they exist) or the article should be deleted. 74.64.126.58 (talk) 21:41, 11 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Evidence #1: A twitter conversation including Ricky Gervais (famous; many followers)

https://twitter.com/rickygervais/status/521047458957500418

Within this conversation, two reply tweets originate from Favstar only 5 minutes apart from each other:

  1. @rickygervais Congrats on your 250★ tweet! http://favstar.fm/t/521047458957500418
  2. @rickygervais Congrats on your 500★ tweet! http://favstar.fm/t/521047458957500418

Not only are they completely off-topic, but they are confusing and disruptive. This is blatant SPAM. 74.64.126.58 (talk) 21:52, 11 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
