In the Asheville online shenanigans category, file a couple of fake Twitter accounts spoofing Hot Spot convenience stores. First is was an Asheville Hot Spot account, @HotSpotAvl, and now there’s a @Hotspot_Canton account. Neither are particularly funny. Just something to keep an eye on. There’s some background here on spoofing of local Hot Spots, via online ninja @_tatuaje_.

I think the Asheville Hot Spot page is hilarious. I shared the link with some of my friends, and they raved about how hilarious it is too.
The canton one is definitely not very funny though. It truly misses the subtleties perfected by the first Hot Spot account.
Come on Jason! The Hotspot AVL twitter account is seriously my favorite thing to follow right now. I really want to know who’s doing it because not only do I think it’s funny, I think it’s the most hilarious account I follow.
