Lookout: Cross-Platform Mobile Security [#FF]

The #FollowFriday Series highlights today’s up-and-coming, active and all-around noteworthy Twitter accounts the AudioAcrobat staff deems worthy of following; while at the same time peering deeper into the soul(-cial media) of each account and providing a brief-yet-informative analysis.

Welcome back for the thirty-fifth #FollowFriday tweet / WordPress mashup of 2012 here on the AudioAcrobat Weblog!

OK, so you have a mobile phone, more than likely a smartphone. Is it protected? Perhaps…

In today’s post, we will dive deeper into the tweets of San Francisco based mobile security network, Lookout (@Lookout) and the Twitter accounts they have chosen to follow … a mirror, if you will, into the soul(-cial media) behind a company who helps users locate a lost device, prevent identify theft, block potential threats…and a whole lot more!

Yep. That’s right, we just said it … “soulcial media”. We also said, “a company who helps users locate a lost device, prevent identify theft, block potential threats…and a whole lot more” in the same sentence.

Conclusion

In summary, it looks as though @Lookout likes to follow twitter accounts and users who focus more on the Android side of the smartphone coin, at least in our extracted sample. There are several news / mobile news accounts and a heavy focus on apps + reviews, and a keen focus on business. We also noticed an unusual amount of older accounts who haven’t tweeted in several years at the bottom of their followers list, but hey — we’ve all probably got some Twitter housecleaning to do, right?!
