Micro bloggers: have you ever compared the number of fans on your Sina Weibo or Tencent micro blog with those of your friends?

Don't imagine you have more fans just because your number is bigger -- some of them might be "zombie fans," or fake followers.

According to a report by S Weekly, zombie fans on micro blogs are defined as invalid accounts signed up by network companies for the purpose of increasing the number of fans for certain users, especially celebrity ones, and getting them more attention.

微博博主們：你曾和好友比過各自新浪或騰訊微博上的粉絲數嗎？

別單憑數量多這點就以為自己的粉絲多——他們中的一些可能是“僵尸粉”，也就是虛假粉絲。

根據《南都周刊》的一份報告顯示，微博上的僵尸粉就是網絡公司用來提高特定用戶（尤其是名人博主）粉絲數量，為其吸引更多關注而注冊的無效帳號。
