Actually a good idea, but a MUCH better idea would be to automatically post a direct message to that person (from your own account or from central Idiocy account) about the problem, rather than hijacking the session and basically hacking the account, running into problems with law.
- Encosia 16y agoTo DM them, you'd have to make them follow you first, which would still require using the hijacked session. Roaming around busy public WiFi doing that would be an easy way to get a bunch of Twitter followers though!
- jontywareing 16y agoI've been bouncing this back and forth with people all day! Posting to your own account is an easily understandable visible demonstration of what's possible and why they should care - a DM from another account, or an @ just won't have the same effect on the user. I might see if it's possible to send a DM to yourself, as that would achieve the same result without the public exposure.
