NY Comic Con Takes Over Attendees' Twitter Accounts To Praise Itself

Posted by timothy on Saturday October 12, 2013 @01:25AM from the you're-loving-it dept.

Okian Warrior writes "Attendees to this year's New York Comic Con convention were allowed to pre-register their RFID-enabled badges online and connect their social media profiles to their badges — something, the NYCC registration site explained, that would make the 'NYCC experience 100x cooler! For realz.' Most attendees didn't expect "100x cooler" to translate into 'we'll post spam in your feed as soon as the RFID badge senses that you've entered the show,' but that seems to be what happened."

Let's face it, we are talking nerds, so in some sense no real harm was done, just maintaining the pecking order.
