"Ghost Tweeter" seems inaccurate since the accounts are for organizations or public figures. Sure it's interesting that an Italian-American female is tweeting on behalf of an Islamic Imam but it's just like any other media outreach job. If the tweeter was intentionally crafting an alter ego or pretending to be the person/organization that would be an issue.

The author touches on Nate Weiner but I definitely think he would have benefited from a "ghost" tweeter.
