Fake It ‘Til You Make It?
In the same vein as my post about fake Twitter followers – Fake Followers, I just read an expose on @shirls – someone who faked her way in to the lives of the rich and infamous of Silicon Valley. A social climber, who photoshopped her way in to connecting with some movers and shakers in the Valley, @shirls has…
