(Scroll down for video) Whoever said that a knockoff is not better than the real deal? At least when it comes to Huffington Post’s twitter handle, the knockoff twitter is now gaining more attention than the real deal.
Alex Mizrahi, of Brooklyn, New York created the knockoff twitter handle, and he is quickly rising on the charts of the twitter universe.
Mizrahi created the @HuffPostSpoilers, last summer, with the intention of tweeting stories from the Huffington Post he saw as interesting to tweet.
"I followed the Huffington Post for a long time on twitter and was frustrated by their style of tweets," Mizrahi, 30, who recently worked as a freelancer for The Shorty Awards, which honors achievements in social media, said.
"This is their business model: get as many clicks as possible and that is how they survive as an organization. Not that I want to steal clicks from them," he said.
Now, he has more than 12,485 followers on twitter.
He had never revealed his identity through twitter and was amused when his friends began to follow his tweets without knowing that he was behind them. However, a recent article in a New York based newspaper, revealed the identity of Mizrahi.
“This just goes to show that creativity counts when it comes to the online world. I think that Huffington Post might want to hire Mizrahi to manage the company twitter handle,” Amanda Madison, 35, of Brooklyn, New York told YourJewishNews.com after learning about Mizrahi’s Huffington Post twitter handle.
Mizrahi said his twitter handle is not malicious. He thinks that many of the tweeters at the Huffington Post are fine as they are.Mobile video not loading? Click here to view
