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.
