Not sure what will happen with Kanye’s account, but have you seen this?

You’re a celeb!

What happens when a REAL person has the same name as a celebrity? I know real people named Bea Arthur, George Lucas, Nick Rhodes, James Taylor …

When I read the headline in my feed, I first thought that you were reporting that he had employed a ‘tweetposter’, ie someone who posted tweets on his behalf
I have just realised that all BBC twitter feeds are generated by third parties. I have been blocked from following twitter.com/BBC as I complained (using an @reply) about affiliate links that they were dropping in! I also complained to the BBC as at that time I thought it was legit, so hopefully something will be done. I am surprised I followed the account in the first place without noticing.

SilverDuck, with all due respect, I think you misread my sentence. Maybe it wasn’t clear, but I was saying that other famous people don’t blog as *much* as Kanye. I’m very aware of his blogging frequency.

I don’t see why Luke Wilson couldn’t play WoW… it’s the new golf.

What do you mean “not the blogging type”? With all due respect, Veronica, he blogs more than you do. Check it out: http://www.kanyeuniversecity.com/blog/

If I were Kanye, I’d be more concerned about the guy who just released a sappy auto-tune album under my name. If he were that concerned about his image, he’d sue THAT guy! It doesn’t sound anything like the real kanye west. (the rapper) This kanye sings. Badly.

Oh god, you know I feel more sorry for the people who feel the need to create impersonating accounts.

Seriously how do we even know this is the actual Veronica Belmont anyway?… Nobody can use that many social networking sites all at once!

I’m sure an army of captive lolcats on typewritters is at work here..

I just hope there’s no one that uses the nickname “Monster” on twitter, or the cable fools are going to sue them, right after they get done with Monster mini-put.

Do they really have to terminate the fake account? I bet there is more than one Kanye West in this world, right? I can see where this user is coming from but still it feels weird.

Is it fair for everybody like when Britney Spears and Al Gore get their names changed? Yes, the world is still spinning around but such moves feel unfair. They better focus on the feature side, add a search button, fix DM and support Gravatars

I’m sick of celebrities whining about online posers. It’s their own fault for not protecting their brands, for ignoring trends, for dismissing new Web stuff as “geeky”.

Kanye has always been a drama Queen, and hes using this for more publicity. If he really wanted to solve this issue he would contact twitter.

I still question whether Henry Rollins actually has a twitter account. I really hope so!
