You may have picked up content generated by one of the characters. Paul Isakson was the first to open a MM twitter account and others followed, as he states in the well-written "confession" you reference. You may also find Bud Caddell's article of interest. <a href="http://drop.io/becomingamadman" rel="nofollow">http://drop.io/becomingamadman</a>. And Adbroad's ;) <a href="http://adbroad.blogspot.com/2008/10/i-am-bettydraper.html" rel="nofollow">http://adbroad.blogspot.com/2008/10/i-am-bettyd...</a> Hi, BenHamin, I can assure you there's been no AMC Twitter initiative.

And great scoop to get a quote from January Jones on the phenomenon. One correction, though. None of the twitter personas are AMC generated or sanctioned. All of the character extensions are the creations of unremunerated, dedicated fans. So which Betty you believe to be the "real" one is simply a matter of personal taste. Excellent article, Amy.

I have to say that I'm stumped on this one. Having a brief Google around I have to agree that I can't find reference to an AMC Twitter initiative (only the intended shutdown of profiles). However when commencing this story I'm sure we read that AMC we're behind the character profiles and fans had then cloned other versions. This being said, I can't find that reference. I did find this article - which you may find of interest <a href="http://paulisakson.typepad.com/planning/2008/11/don_draper-twitter.html" rel="nofollow">"Confessions of a (fake) Mad Man"</a>. I'll keep looking because I was quite sure... Cheers. Ben Hey Ad Broad, thanks for the comment and the headsup.
