Twitter Article

One thing that we really need to take from this article is that you cannot believe everything you read online because there is a chance that it is not really who you think it is.  Also is it possible to know if the person is real or not?  "Twitter allows parody accounts as long as they are labeled as such."  While this is a requirement how do we know that everybody who makes a parody account actually follows this rule.  We can't be sure.  People need to remember what they post online is now open to the public.  While it is not right that people create fake facebooks or twitters for people it happens.  People need to be careful what they post.  The overall message from this article is not believe everything you read because on sites such as twitter and facebook it is easy for people to create fake accounts and tell the world anything they want about the person they are pretending to be.
