My Biggest Fan

Social Media 7 September 2010 | 4 Comments

If you follow me on Twitter, you may have noticed that I changed my avatar and Bio:

You may be asking yourself, “What’s the reason for all this bragging?” Well, someone out there is such a big fan, that they actually took the time to create a fake profile of me. I consider this to be a milestone in my ever-expanding list of social media accomplishments, which includes:

1. Joining Twitter

2. Tweeting a lot

And here I thought number 3 would be profit. Damn you underpants gnomes!

Before I found my official fan page on Twitter, my Bio read: “DJ, Blogger, Social Media Black Belt and Seasoned IT Professional.”  But I think my biggest fan nailed it with the updated bio and avatar, so I decided to copy them over to my own Twitter account.

They also did a lovely job with the profile decor:

Pink! How did they know?

I have absolutely no idea who the genius is behind all of this, but I’d really like to meet them. It’s an honor, and I’d like to know what that person was thinking when they created my fake account.

Sarcasm aside, let’s all have fun with this. Clearly someone thought they could bring me down with negativity, but I’d like to turn this into something positive. Currently I see that my fake profile has no followers yet, and that kinda makes me sad.

The first 50 people to follow @djmeph1 will receive from me, a free biscuit from Red Lobster.

The prizes will be given away at a future Tweetup somewhere in the Detroit area. I will announce the date and location on my blog soon, so subscribe now or follow me on Twitter for more information.

If there are any businesses out there that would like to get involved in turning this negativity into something positive for everyone, feel free to contact me.

Update: The official hashtag for this is #FreeBiscuit.
