Okay, let's say I did get into Twitter... How do I get my name back? Someone hijacked my name and streamed my blog feed through Twitter... as if it were me... prompting ridiculous posts like this one. But I had nothing to do with it. So how do I get my name back?

That's not YOU?!?! Holy Cow!
I'd try to direct message them, perhaps contact Twitter.
Man, that's INTERESTING!

I'm not sure if there is a way to contact the person other than creating a new name and then follow the impostor. After that send them a message asking for your name back.
or create a new name like 'Benarmenttherealdeal' or something like that.

That's hilarious. I totally agreed with Tony's post at the time. Ben, you're cool again in my book (if that matters).

ahhhh, Tony removed the blog post. What's that phrase again about dishing it out vs. taking it ? =) j/k

I totally thought that was you! I should have known you'd have better taste in such matters ;)
