To check out the damage: http://search.twitter.com/search?q=flamewhale It's pretty amusing how seriously some people take this. Also, it seems to hit the max API calls / tweets pretty quickly. Maybe you should make an army of Twitter accounts? Though Twitter may disapprove...

@flamewhale fuck you retard... are you a 4chan member?

The irony is delicious!

Why not send secret tweets "@thenewggirlinmyoffice I think you hot"? It does not have to be rude.

I like that idea. It could also be words of wisdom or something in between. The framework is already there and I don't mind giving anyone this code. All that needs to be changed are the quotes and the domain name.

post it on github. i can see this being quite the fun distraction for many people.

another way around the rate limits is to ask to be whitelisted (http://twitter.com/help/request_whitelisting).

twitter was even nice enough to whitelist my test account the last time I asked.
