Use Twitter Anonymously. This Will Not End Well.

we’ve all had the situation on Twitter where you want to tweet something without it being attributed to you. Some users have separate accounts for these outbursts, but there’s still a chance those can be linked back to you. But a new service (which is really two new services) wants to make anonymous tweeting easy: Tweet From Above and Tweet From Below.

As the debate over anonymous commenting on blogs continues on, it’s not surprising that this immediately strikes some users as an awful idea ? and they’re letting everyone know through the anonymous Twitter account. At least the service makes it hard for spam bots to take advantage of it by requiring anyone to enter a CAPTCHA before sending the anonymous tweet. Of course, that’s also a huge barrier to entry as I completely mistyped the CAPTCHA no less than 3 times before I got it right.  Washington Post
