Which is the real Simon Cowell – or famous star – on twitter?

October 8th, 2009 · 2 Comments · Branding

“How do you know which is the real Simon Cowell on twitter?  I want to follow him and there are lots to choose from.”

I was asked this question yesterday  and had to confess I didn’t know.  The ones that say “the real Simon Cowell”  are no more likely to be right than the others.

It was easy to work out by following some of the links that they were not real. ..but it still didn’t answer the question about who is real.

Now I know the answer as it was revealed in an interview with Evan Williams who with Biz Stone and Jack Dorsey founded twitter.

Well-known people are verified on twitter and there is a blue tick / check mark to show which is the real one.

Look at Demi Moore. Looking at the Simon Cowell entries on twitter none of them have the blue verification sign.    Could it be they have not verified him?  Unlikely.   The truth is that Simon Cowell is not on twitter at all.  They are all fakes.

Shame.  Some of them are quite realistic!
