It certainly looks and reads like a parody account. Not sure the REAL PM would be too happy. Let's hope he doesn't take the same route as St. Louis Cardinals' manager Tony Larussa, who sued Twitter over a fake account.

but that's a parody account, and not actually, the REAL PM, right?

It was @petermansbridg but it looks like it looks like he pulled down the Tweet – http://twitter.com/petermansbridg/statuses/213128...

Hey Mark. I talk to people all the type about the annoying trend of "social media experts". Like you said, a blog and a twitter account don't cut it. Anyone that calls themselves a guru, off the list. Ninja, oh my I'm never going to talk to you. Thankfully clients seem to know that. Social media is marketing wrapped in a 2008/09 buzzword. My take on it http://www.alanlepofsky.net/alepofsky/alanblog.ns...
