What do J.K. Rowling, Tina Turner, Harper Collins and Danny Pierce all have in common?

Has anyone spotted it yet? Well you not likely to. I have recently discovered twitter put a limit on the number of people you can follow. It’s related to how many people follow you, I suspect it’s to cut down on bots. If you don’t know what a twitter bot is, you are very lucky, […]
