Not All Palin Twitter Sites Are What They Seem

Most Palin hater sites on Twitter are easy to detect, either by their avatar or their Twitter handle or by the description at the top of their site.  And most faux Palin sites identify themselves as such.

Below are a few Twitter sites that are a bit more deceptive.

These  two sites appear to be standard Palin news sites but tweet negative news about Governor Palin.   Note that their avatars andTwitter handles are similar to those of existing pro-Palin sites.

Note that the next two faux Palin sites, currently inactive, use Governor Palin’s avatar and a variation of @SarahPalinUSA. The first one even went to the trouble to use a background that mimicked one of Governor Palin’s earlier sites.

This site uses what upon closer inspection turns out to be  a photoshopped version of Governor Palin’s avatar.   It also uses a variation of @SarahPalinUSA.

This site is a bit enigmatic. The tweets seem positive enough, but what true Sarah Palin supporter would link to HuffPo?

This site seems to merely be using the Palin name and photo to draw traffic.
