I feel like this Jack Dorsey profile is fake, because he hasn't mentioned Peepeth on his Twitter account or anything.

However, it seems to have fooled the real(?) Fred Wilson.

Not that I think this says something bad about Peepeth... the situation is obviously not much better on Twitter, even with verification. Just a point about how easy it to be fooled online when you're not expect it...




Haha, good eye. Don't tell Fred! :)

Yes, Peepeth users are aware that unless an account is Twitter-verified (with a Twitter icon next to their name), the user is not guaranteed to be the "real" user. Other verifications like domain ownership are coming soon.


Yeah, having multiple ways to verify identity will be so much better than Twitter's manual situation that can't scale...


Doesn't look like they claimed to be the 'real' jack dorsey?
