Not if you're looking at a mockup in an ad. Quite the opposite, actually.
- d23 13y agoIf they hadn't used real users' names, I'd be inclined to agree. But they did, and I'm not.
- alex_c 13y agoStill disagree - when I see a mockup like that I assume it's all fake, including the user names. The surprising part isn't that the tweets are fake, but that the usernames are real.
- dllthomas 13y agoI agree that my default assumption would be that all the data was made up. If I saw a handle and photo of someone I knew, though, I'd probably assume the rest of that tweet was genuine as well.
