Those Fake Twitter Accounts

I'm actually alittle torn about how I feel about this article. One side of me thinks it's fine to be making fake twitter accounts especially since twitter makes you have to put something saying it's fake in the name. With that being said, that side of me that feels okay with it thinks that it's just fun and games or even beneficial to society. I'll use Matt Mackowiak as the example of it being okay; Matt said in the article that the fake account helps point out how ridiculous he has been by lately. So it helps express people's opinions on what is bugging them or what they thought was wrong, but these people are to shy to voice what they think so they hide behind the fake twitter account which is fine in my book seeing how it's still getting the message across. The thing that makes me think that fake twitter accounts are not a good idea is that someone people can take it to far and instead of being funny or calmly explaining their point of view, people could start posting more hate messages than actual messages that will help out. I think it is a perfectly fine idea as long as you don't have people taking their comments to far.
