Update: Rittenhouse Twitter-er Outs Self, Offers Password
Hey, everybody, this is Daniel Delaney, pictured at right. Or, as you may know him, Rittenhouse Square, the Twitter/Facebook account we wrote about a few weeks back. (We later sent an intern to his potluck, which produced some of the loser-y-est, most dickhurt and least self-aware comments to ever appear on Philebrity.) Well, newsflash: This is Daniel! He’s out, he’s proud and he’s tired of being the voice of Rittenhouse Square, so get over it. In a blog post today, Delaney reveals that it was all just a big social-media experiment — and a fairly successful one at that. But it’s over now.
What’s next for @rittenhouse? Well, being anonymous was always a concern with this project. I’m all for transparency on the net, but no one wants to know there’s a short guy in the Mickey Mouse suit. So, I worked to keep my involvement fairly hush hush, accordingly I’ll be passing the account over to a new anonymous author in the next few days as I desperately want to go back to just being @danieldelaney. Interested? Let me know.
As one commenter on Delaney’s blog noted, here should be exactly where the Rittenhouse Row Association enter the fray. But do it quick, people! Leave that thing on the market too long, and the Perry Milou’s might start grabbin at it.

As I said on Twitter: I think @Rittenhouse was jealous of all the attention he wasn’t getting;
JT LeRoy, passing it off to someone else just doesn’t excite me.

Brandjacking: anyone with a computer can do it. Let the lawsuits begin.

I finally went and looked up what the hell Twitter meant.
I’ve gotta be honest, these posts are a lot less fun now that I know.
