Get Your Twitter On: The Battle of “FentyDC” v. “MayorFenty”
Seems the fake Adrian Fenty Twitterer, "FentyDC," now has some competition. From the real Fenty - or, "MayorFenty."
The D.C. mayor - assuming it really is him; his office has yet to confirm - has only one post so far, and it clearly wasn't written by him. The account went live last month with this tweet:
- Mayor Adrian M Fenty's Twitter Page Built by the 2009 Summer Youth Employment Program IT participants as part of the DC DOES SYEP. Lets talk 1:32 PM Jul 27th from web
Boring!
The fake posts, about which CP wrote a few months ago, are way better:
- I know how my AG feels. This whole "I'm sorry" thing is new to me as well. 24 minutes ago from Power Twitter
- I think the shaved head look works for me, but it is killer in this heat. about 23 hours ago from Power Twitter
- Thinking about signing an executive order that next mayoral election be decided by a triathlon http://tinyurl.com/n4yrv7about 23 hours ago from Power Twitter
- Frat party snafu might have gone unnoticed if I didn't bill city for my tailored Brooks Brothers toga http://tinyurl.com/l3ecgb 9:27 AM Aug 5th from Power Twitter
So far, the fake Fenty has 236 followers. The real one has 23.

What about the other weird unofficial Fenty twitterfeed "FentyNews"? What's up with this? Who is that guy? He posts like he works for the Mayor... but then why isn't it just official? It makes no sense!
