With a “bit of house keeping”
'Countdown with Keith Olbermann' for Friday, March 20, 2009
”But our winner is Twitter. I told you this was trouble. I find out today that I have 13,900 some odd followers on Twitter. I‘m not on Twitter. I tried to sign up last summer and abandoned the project. I found this out when I got a piece of junk e-mail today, at my address, from some outfit trying to barnacle on to the Twitter process. Though it was my address, it had somebody else‘s name on it, possibly whoever was perpetuating the fraud. The subject line read “Dan Cooper Media, local Tweet request.” And the e-mail began, “hi Dan Cooper Media.”Who is Dan Cooper and why would he be getting spam e-mail about my fake Twitter account? He is one of the five architects of Fox News. Despite all this, Twitter will not suspend the phony account in my name. Just remember, whoever you think you are following on Twitter, might be them and it might not. Twitter, tonight‘s worst persons in the world. “
'Countdown with Keith Olbermann' for Tuesday, April 7
”First, two bits of house keeping. Last month, I told you about a Twitter account that was set up in my name. I have an update. It turns out at least one person did start an account in my name, but after learning of one of the fake me‘s, NBC took control of that account. I also mentioned that I received an email about this account from Twitter that was—Twitter wannabe—that was addressed to Dan Cooper Media. Mr. Cooper has informed us he had nothing to do with the account. “
