I learned the power of a fake tweet last month[1].
Some backstory: I found that Twitter’s use of emoji is not immediately recognizable because they render their own image rather than relying on the native implementation. So I tweeted what appeared to be Twitter hash flags for hex colors by using square emoji colors. I went to bed after it got 1 or 2 likes. And in the morning I found that hundreds of people thought it was real.
