Twitter Imposters

PLUS a sure fire quick way to spot a Fake Twitter profile

Recently I was amused to find an almost identical replica of my twitter profile and I thought I would share my experience to help those new to Twitter of one tell tale sign that the profile you are looking at is very likely fake...

The key is in how the twitter profile pic renders when you look at it and by all means jump to the end for an example but first I would like to show just how alike my actual profile and the fake one are.

Here is my actual profile as at 21st August 2013 followed by my imposter:

The @WillCamphin is my REAL personal twitter profile

This is the FAKE profile with only and underscore appended to the twitter handle

Surprisingly similar aren't they?

What Surf Life Saving is all about.

I have found myself asking this question a lot lately. 

It came to a head earlier this season when I was watching a televised broadcast of the Iron Man series when something odd was said which caught me by surprise.

In the closing stages of an Iron Man race; 1st and 2nd was decided in an exciting last gasp dash for the finish line when the commentator exclaimed  “now that is what Surf Life Saving is all about..”  and every one just wholeheartedly agreed without qualification.

Huh?
