The popularity of a thing can often be measured based on the social media reaction and/or online presence. In the wake of more official announcements concerning the future of ARW, discussion quickly spread to online forums and social media platforms. Keeping an eye out as I do for such things, I noticed something of late: people are following the incorrect Twitter account for ARW.
The official account is @ARWTour, which has a paltry three followers and only one post. Participation on social media is standard practice for promotional purposes, but it appears whomever is administering this account has fallen down on the job somewhat. It seems almost an afterthought compared to the updates on the official Facebook page, and in fact the account itself may only be a few days old. An unofficial but far more active Twitter account had been previously established - and it certainly looks official. I was fooled until I went back to the official site for verification. Its' prior existence certainly lends legitimacy to anyone who might be looking for an account to follow. It appears from the handle used in the official Facebook page header that the account name they desired to use had already been claimed, which may explain the delay in establishing the Twitter account.
So while you may certainly continue to follow @AndersonRabinWak if you like, just be aware that it is not the official Twitter account for our favorite trio. Perhaps the more followers the official account garners, hopefully they will finally get with the program of updates and retweets and so forth.
