Peggy Olson Is Stalking Me

I know that back in August ThreeMinds wrote about Mad Men and AMC temporarily taking some fan accounts off Twitter. But I had something happen last night that is, frankly, a little creepy, but interesting. After Mad Men last night on Facebook, I commented that I liked Peggy's haircut.

That's it. No last name, no reference to Mad Men.

This morning I woke up to an email notice that Peggy Olson (mind you, a fictional character) was now following me on Twitter. I'm assuming its not a moderator from AMC - but instead a super fan paying attention to Twitter posts that others are Tweeting - and anything MadMen related - signing up to follow the person.

Now I understand content creation - but talk about Second Life? Clearly this person sees themselves as a living, breathing version of Peggy Olson - and wants to make sure they stay in touch with her fans. Has anyone else had an "interesting" case in fan fiction 2.0?

This Mad Men Twitter craze is getting rediculous. Check out the latest on my blog, http://twurl.nl/xvse4o

Yes! Check out Sherry Turkle's "Life on the Screen".

Mark:

Nevermind all that, did you at least find out if she looks like the real thing?

If so, can I have her twitter ID?
