There's a lot of people who think that Microsoft isn't really astroturfing. Hopefully this will be a bit of proof to show just how Microsoft's marketing department works.

EDIT: In case you're wondering, this was meant to be posted under a shill account. The tweet can then be answered quickly by Microsoft's twitter support to show efficiency.


But you would expect them to have real support questions to answer.

A quick Twitter search for @XboxSupport shows a ton of easy-to-answer questions posted every few minutes. Surely they could just cherry pick some real questions?


Maybe all those easy to answer questions are made in the same way as this one?
