The best thing about social media is you can show off how popular you are. On Facebook, the number of Likes is the popular counter. While on Twitter, the number of followers is the evident of popularity.
There still no way to detect if the likes on Facebook is genuine or fake, but for Twitter, now there is a website for us to check the percentage of fake and genuine followers for most of the Twitter account, except for Twitter users that lock out their Twitter account from publicly visible.
This service is provided by statuspeople.com. You will need to give permission to statuspeople.com so that can use it. The first result you will get is your own fake Twitter followers.
