 		@SplendidAlpha Possible Twitter Trailhead
Had a random user appear on my twitter feed. Has 1164 followers - Seems like it made people follow it using an exploit, but I'm okay with that as it seems trailheadish. Thoughts? Username is @SplendidAlpha http://twitter.com/splendidalpha First post states:

Hello my lovelies. I've added myself to your Twitter feed, for fun and chaos. Well, it will be fun for me at least.
about 2 hours ago via web


and a rather interesting picture: http://twitpic.com/210sz0/full with this note:
Quote:
One of me is installing a new chair. Another is typing this. Many are laughing.


Thoughts?

 		Very interesting - I shoulda noticed the SENDanielPerrin thing. That was an official twitter associated with the show, but fizzled as it was clear they were being cancelled.

 		What I want to know is how they added themselves to those I'm following, in order to appear in my Twitter feed...
I honestly don't remember adding them, though it may be possible, and likely, since they're also added to my 'character' twitter list... but right up near the beginning which means I would have added them long ago. Do we know about how long the account's existed?

From the looks of it (and from one twitter sent to alpha) this was the senator's account renamed with old posts deleted, and then they redid an account with the senators name.

You followed the senator correct?

 		I was wondering about that twitter account too. Noticed it earlier and thought I'd leave it and watch it for now.
