<the grifter> you are my followers number 300! You have earned a full access to my profile account with all the tweets and content I share. Not only this but you will get such content automatically in your home feed so you don't have to check my account all the time! New content each day that will blow your mind and make you the best developer</the grifter>

<the devRels> a new follower .. ok .. let's hope he understand some CSS </ devRels>

Brilliant.

Although you forgot to say that you get extra bonus content if you like and retweet this tweet so I can tell you aren't a grifter!!

And I already follow you, but that is only because you popped up in my Twitter feed, I really need to start searching out people I like on DEV to follow on Twitter...as I said, grandpa is just getting into this social stuff...now how do I send a Twitter again?!

Ok, grandpa, this is how you write a Twitter again:

  1. Get a check
  2. Write my name in the top line (you want me to see it)
  3. Add today's date (you don't want it to be outdated)
  4. Write a dollar amount on the next line (how much you think your tweet is worth)
  5. Write the tweet on the memo section
  6. Send it to PO box 555, on Fake Street, Austin, TX.

I look forward to reading your Twitters ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š

On it right now, so ยฃ25 a tweet, can I get a bulk discount?

Of course! If you send 10 cheques, you can do ยฃ20 each instead of ยฃ25. That's 8 tweets for the price of 10.

Also, a link to your profile? Seriously? What are we? Rookies??!! You need to do it the grifter way! Create a link directly to a follow popup!

I learned that trick from a Twitter Grifter (for real). That's how he shared his Twitter profile online.
