I'm often amused to see what Twitter bots follow you based on what you post there. All manner of random commercial enterprises have suddenly followed me after a casual(and often completely devoid of context) reference to a product, place, or activity. Tourism sites, personal trainers, rap DJs...its like a bizarre form of bingo where no one ever wins anything.
This happens to a lesser degree on Livejournal, particularly if you haven't disabled anonymous comments. But it's fairly uncommon, at least enough so that I never really gave it a lot of thought, until this particular post began to attract the spambots. I've deleted at least five in the last couple of weeks.
I wonder what there is about my amusing but inconsequential exchange with a drugstore clerk has attracted so much interest from the sub-sentient crawlers of the blogosphere? Most of them seem to be trying to sell me knock-off designer clothing or boots, which makes me suspect it was the paragraph about looking for vests. But their persistence is puzzling.
