UPDATED: This is what happens when you do not have a community manager or an integrated social media strategy.
I thought the Tweets I report below were from the real Ruth Ellen Brosseau. I got caught myself… But, since yesterday, my dear network brought to my attention the fact that Ruth Ellen Brosseau has a few Fake Twitter account. I just got caught in this gag too. That would have been an amazing April’s fools campaign… Naive little me. I thought she was for real, it wcould have been such an interestingly weird way to campaign, but hey! and innovative. Cheers to all. Peace. Ruth Ellen is now the talk of the town. I don’t know who is managing these accounts, but it certainly is funny to watch. I wonder what the NPD will do about it. Thanks to my network of lovely geeks! Muahh They have iPhone and iPad apps but no community manager it seems. Need help, Jack Layton? Your humble servant is here.

I am completely hung over, I lost $300 at the craps tables, and my dad just called me and told me I won the election. WTF.
