Title: Twitter clone "Heello" turned into bizarro uncyclopedia twitter
Post by: Triple Zero on August 12, 2011, 01:19:39 PM
"Heello" pretty much copied Twitter's functionality and (it seems) even its design. Yet another Twitter clone?

... until a bunch of trolls showed up realizing how much fun it would be tweeting as Mark Zuckerberg or CNN Breaking News :lulz:

"Fakesters."

I love how pop culture has got to a point where there's a name for the segment of society who commit 3rd degree identity theft. Like, "Guy pretending to be Justin Beiber for attention" no longer fits. It needs a tidy moniker for common, everyday use.
