OHAIB ATHAR SOT TWITTER FOLLOWERS WENT UP DUE TO ABBOTTABAD REFERENCE
Sohaib Athar SOT saying that his twitter followers likely went up because he referenced Abbottabad in his tweets. Sohaib Athar unknowingly livetweeted the US Operation that killed Osama bin Laden. The Abbottabad resident's followers on twitter went up by thousands after the news broke out. SOT: "I think the follower counts are increasing the moment the word Abbottabad was used. Because I have Abbottabad as my location in Twitter. And if you search for Abbottabad now you'll probably find lots of people who are in Abbottabad but at that point I was probably one of the very few who have Abbottabad as their location. And I had already mentioned the helicopter explosion, so people started following me."
