TWEETING YOUR REPUTATION AWAY

"Mark Davidson", "ghostwriter", "rogue" and"bad reputation" were not trending on Twitter today, but they could have been.

One of Mark Davidson's supposed ghost-tweeters allegedly went rogue today after being fired, taking over Davidson's account and spewing potentially damaging tweets. Davidson identifies as an internet sales and marketing professional on his Twitter account.

"So let me mow [sic] tell you the truth about @markdavidson. He can barely type social media much less know what it is," tweeted an apparently angry author who suggested he was tweeting drunk in another message.

As Twitter exploded with excitement surrounding these activities, it's a surprise that no one woke Davidson, whom the rogue tweeter said was probably still sleeping, to get online and save his reputation as an internet sales and marketing professional.

But what is more surprising is that he supposedly had such a large ghost-writing team for the one Twitter account, especially after presenting himself as an expert in industries that utilise the medium. His career may also be in question because he was relying on ghost-tweeters to present his original thoughts or ideas.

It is currently unknown if these tweets are genuine or meant as a hoax.
