Does Jim Halperin tweet for himself on twitter?

Heritage is definitely exploiting the new social networking technology. I don't "follow" many people, but I do have Heritage (Jim Halperin) and QDB on my twitter list. (RYK is only good for lamenting the Steelers.) Jim Halperin sends a lot of tweets or twits or whatever they're called, even more than the prolific QDB. Does he write his own tweets or does he have a staff of tweeters at his disposal? They are so adept with the new technology that they could probably coordinate protests against a dictatorship in a third-world country.

It's kind of sad to think that Longacre is missing out on all these goings-on, especially the QDB tweets. image

  • I always thought he was doing it himself. Is there a reason to think he is not?

    I have it on good authority that some important people do not tweet for themselves. I don't know if that's the case with Mr. Halperin.

    I need to sign up for this Twitter thing. It is killing me that my beloved QDB is Tweeting and I can't access it.

    Eat more beans. Then you, too, can Tweet-a-Toot.

    I will have you know that RYK has posted two live coin show reports on Twitter and has been recently interviewed for Coin World to discuss it. image He will be happy to autograph your copy of the next edition. image

    I also think that Halperin tweets for himself. I suspect that someone else tweets for QDB. Real celebs often have verified twitter accounts (professional athletes, muscians, etc.). I am not sure that this has yet trickled down to celebrity numismatists. image
