The site, and the cluster of Twitter feeds that seems to be
associated with it, form a "walled garden" that seems to only link
within itself (other than paid ad links outward). The various Twitter
feeds constantly retweet one another, and are sprinkled with posts
with tantalizing teaser text and a link that tuns out to go to "Cha
Cha" (and to a page there that is invariably disappointing compared
to what was teased in the tweet, and which leads the user down a
rabbit hole of following "Next" links through multiple pages of
slideshow-like presentation in the vain hope of finding something
less lame). They draw people in with sometimes-clever one-liner quips
in tweets, but once you've followed any of their stuff you get
deluged with expoitative crap.
