Your relatable tweets are proving to be a real headache for the state of Maine.
As The Daily Dotpointed out Saturday, one of the many ways people announce that they've found a tweet relatable is by at-replying the Twitter handle "@me." It's tongue-in-cheek -- a shorter way to say "that's me" or "it me."
The handle is also frequently used when someone says "don't @ me," but fails to put a space between "@" and "me." That space makes a world of difference, y'all. Isn't Twitter interesting?
Using "@me" has an unintended side effect. The handle @me is actually owned by Maine.com, a website run by a man named Teddy Worcester to advertise Maine tourism.
Worcester told The Daily Dotthat he receives "hundreds" of notifications per day -- and, as you might expect, quite a few of them have nothing to do with the wonders of Maine.
For example, a quick Twitter search tells us that Teddy has received a notification for all of these tweets:
Tweet may have been deleted
Tweet may have been deleted
Tweet may have been deleted
Tweet may have been deleted
Tweet may have been deleted
Tweet may have been deleted
Tweet may have been deleted
Tweet may have been deleted
Anyway, Maine is a beautiful state. Definitely worth a visit.
