Twitter etiquette question

Why does it bother me that the avatar pic comes from Stockphoto?

[2009-06-10]

So what do YOU do when someone called Juliette Chevalier (names changed to protect the guilty) follows you, and when you're curious to see who "she" is, it turns out her avatar is a Stockphoto pic (and they didn't bother to pay for it either, so it still has the watermark), her feed has exactly one tweet (something innocuous like "Is anyone out there?"), she's following a gazillion people, and a surprising number are following her (albeit a small fraction of the number of people she's following -- probably all the ones who fell for the (hot-looking) Stockphoto pic). And when you look at her bio, it's all "I'm like young and hot and stuff, and I'm all about fun and adventure ... and shit." Well, not EXACTLY, but you get the idea.

Oh, and of course she has a home page. Some arbitrary new-looking Web 2 Point Doh site (I shouldn't really be slagging them off, should I?) that is asking for your attention. And you can smell, from a long long way away, that the marketing team went "Hey! And we should use Twitter to promote our site! I know; a fictitious hot chick! Of course, just like all the spam I get! Cos everyone will fall for that! We'll give her a French name, and in her bio we'll use words like 'fun' and 'adventure'. Yeah, yeah! And we'll put our web site as her home page! And then we'll just follow EVERYONE! That'll do it!" followed by back pats all round.

So what do YOU do?

Ignore her?

Block her?

"@juliettec I'm onto you Bob, or Fred, or whatever your name is you skanky ho"?

Or maybe the community doesn't have some pinko anti-spam real-people-only attitude. Tough times you know, we all do what we can to make a buck. And if that means having a few non-player characters, well so be it.

Just curious, really. Mail me or reply @kaapstorm
