The Good Thing About Twitter Is No One Knows You’re A Dog

I’ve tooled around with Twitter but I haven’t quite found it the addiction that others have yet. A thought stuck me though as i explored other peoples friends lists that Twitter is a great place for identity theft, or at least twitter identity theft, just look at the twitter page of Bill Clinton

Bill Clinton Twitter

Or Stephen Colbert, or Borat.

Clearly there are lots of potential shenanigans here and opportunities, some people are already getting famous on twitter and collecting friends like it’s myspace. Even if your not that interested, go register your name especially if your potentially famous.

I actually think that twitter is great for a small group of friends, even a family, kind of like that concept of ambient friends I was talking about previously. So anyone using it for anything useful?

BTW I just found out they built twitter in two weeks :-) Someone is making out like a bandit on SMS fees, although I’m not sure twitter is.
