thepoet: Who is this @JasmineTiy and why is he/her/it they keep on spamming @thepoet in their twit. I don’t even know what they are saying. →
JasmineTiy: How comes there’s 2 @thepoet iz dat even possible →
thepoet: @twitter f*d up big time on the username. there’s two @thepoet @thePOET so that’s why i’m getting all these replies who I don’t even know →
brownspank: @thepoet wow I never knew #twitter usernames were case-sensitive… that opens up a whole new avenue of celeb duping. →
Fact: I’m a n00b who lives under a rock for not knowing about this until today.
kaffee: @thepoet couldn’t you block the user? →
thepoet: @brownspank I know. →
kaffee: the case of the CasEs> @thepoet this is an interesting point regarding usernames…. i am no celeb but inclined to search for other kaffees →
scrufus: @thepoet there are? going to twitter.com/thePOET brings me to your profile page. →
brownspank: @kaffee Good luck going through all the 2^6 permutations. :) (Did I get my #math right?) →
thepoet: @scrufus there is. http://twitter.com/theP0ET →
Theory: Georgia’s zero and lowercase O look very similar, causing confusion.
brownspank: @thepoet That’s not an O, it’s a zero. :) →
thepoet: @brownspank I still get @thepoet replies from the people who in his lst. I am guessing the other guy replaced the O to 0 →
Theory: @theP0ET previously had the username @thePOET (and didn’t have a problem with it thanks to Twitter’s username case sensitivity bug-slash-feature). He may have just recently changed it, causing @mentions of the old username (that followers had already gotten used to) to default to @thepoet (again, due to the case sensitivity issue).
An interesting artilce, thank you for your inoformation,,,
Alas, I still get those friggin’ miss reply on twitter. It’s making me insane.. I get to miss out important ‘twits’ and getting to read all of their uhm… risque posts to that ‘theP0ET’ user.
Twitter in a way is a weird thing.
