I was listening to Anneka Rice on the radio the other morning and she said that she had just got a Twitter account back as somebody had been pretending to be her on a fake Twitter account for a long time and they had finally just been closed down and she could be herself. She said that she had to send her birth certificate, etc, etc to them to prove who she was ! I am not into Twitter and just cant see the usefullness of this sort of thing myself. However everybody to their own.

it's like the domain name racket. if you're not actively on there, someone will use your name and damage your brand.
 
It's a great way for footballers, comedians, business owners to communicate with a large number of fans/potential customers. They (...most of them) want to be able to communicate both ways which can't be done during a quick shirt/book signing. Most of the public on Twitter seem to panic whenever anyone they don't know responds to them though or repeat stuff that everyone else has already put.

Very true - I lose track of the amount of people who tweet something, then when someone they don't know replies, they get all narky and defensive as well as refusing to clarify or discuss something and asking how they saw their tweet when they don't even know them. Twitter is a public forum, it's not a private social media website for connecting with real life people, which is more Facebook's domain.

Put it this way: You wouldn't post on not606 and then kick-off if someone you didn't know quoted you and replied, would you?
