    Twitter are devious ****s.

    I tried to keep my Twitter account anonymous by using a stupid name and creating it via a gmail account which didn't include my real name. I also have the security setting 'Let others find me by my email address' unchecked.

    However, it's somehow managed to find a link to my real name gmail account and now regularly suggests my brother as someone I'd like to follow (and presumably vice-versa). <grr>

    I suspect that I might have forwarded documents between my fake and real gmail accounts at some point and this is how Twitter managed to link to link the 2.

    Anyway, I'm going to create a new Twitter account. Anyone got any tips about how to keep it anonymous this time?

    Don't get it? Is this the spurious link between Craig Whyte and Monaco?

    If it is, then I don't find it funny in the slightest, thanks very much.

    Little word of advice bud - when you're new to a forum, any forum not just this one, don't swan in and call the regulars ****s.

    Heed my advice and you'll fit in here just fine.

    If you where one of those Guy Fawkes masks when you're on the interweb, the CIA can't trace you.

    Had an interview yesterday, hoping to get back into the old IT game, hardly any agents get back to me because of the long break I've had but fingers crossed. All ten.
