Twitter Torpedoes "CWalken" (update)
And maybe it is now but it wasn't supposed to be.
Were you approaching the cwalken feed as some sort of literary experiment or project?
The original intent was that of an experiment in that Clusterflock owners/admins wanted to provide an anonymous platform for members to express random thoughts. The Clusterflock site has done a wonderful job of cultivating this model but it was never effectively extended to Twitter -- probably because of my appropriation of the account.
My own project is far less ambitious. I simply enjoy writing for voices other than my own. When I post a "cwalken" update I am hoping to write something as I would imagine it spoken by Christoper Walken. The politics, tastes and observations are my own. That is -- I am not trying to speak for Christopher Walken. I am simply borrowing his voice and reworking my words in his cadence.
Some people crochet, I do this.
One last note on Clusterflock -- I think many, if not most, suspect me as Cwalken because this is just the kind of thing that I would do. When they say that they don't know, however, they are speaking the truth. I am very patient and very stubborn and as such have drug them along unwillingly for this strange ride.
Who are your favorite writers? Do you consciously evoke any of them when you tweet as cwalken?
Ouch -- that's a hard one. Philip Kerr is probably my favorite writer. I'm also a big fan of Umberto Eco but I wouldn't say that either comes to mind at all in my Twitter shenanigans.
How much do you try to use Christopher Walken himself as a source/influence?
I actually know nothing about Christopher Walken other than that I love his films. He seems an honorable man with a great voice. Sorry -- nothing deep here at all!
What do you think about the whole "celebrity Twitter" world? (I loved your tweets on Ashton Kutcher, here and here).
I am not a fan of the celebrity Twitter world -- with the exception of John Hodgman of course. Hodgman can get off in the weeds from time to time but he is truly a treasure. Self-deprecating, funny and brilliant. Other than that I find the narcissistic ramblings of celebrity Twitter to be as annoying as the next person. I am not a fan of Ashton Kutcher.
How do you decide what goes in [your personal Twitter feed], what goes in Cwalken?
[My Twitter feed] is where I put my spur-of-the-moment, knee-jerk, rude posts. I try not to do that in Cwalken out of respect for the audience and the character. So [my Twitter feed] is me without filters.
I wish it were more complex than that!

What a bunch of maroons the Twitter folks are - anyone that would actually believe this was the real Christopher Walken wouldn't be able to *perceive* the irony that is rampant in the tweets in the first place. Anyone who really appreciated the tweets would understand this was a loving tribute to the weird & wonderful actor.
Hope the Twitter overlords grow up and get a grip on the new world, and don't let the fearmongers (lawyers?) make their decisions for them.liseli

I DMed CaptKoons, and he is just impersonating cwalken, ironically. Here's what he wrong:
"Thanks and sorry to disappoint; I'm not the original, but a fan in despair. I wrote up a FAQ, http://notcwalken.resonant.com"
Bring back cwalken! :(
Cann Says
Cwalken was awesome. Sorely missed.
Pies Says
I'd rather if he continued writing, under his own name. @cwalken was a great feed, very funny :)
Sinny Says
Lighten up Twitter. We all enjoyed the posts. If you are going to get rid of everyone that pretends to be someone else then start with the damn spammers.
Anonymous Says
> he never claimed to be Christopher Walken
He used the actor's likeness for his avatar. He posted in a manner emulating the actor's persona. So it seems to me he certainly did claim to be the actor.

What about God and Jesus? They're both twittering. Then again, they could claim that God is talking directly to them. Who would argue?
Jonathan Hitchcock Says
I assume that they're leaving the DarthVader twitter account active, because it is manned by the real Darth Vader?
The CWalken account never once claimed to be the actor Christopher Walken, just somebody by the name of "CWalken". Of course, since that's not his real name, it could be said to be fake, but in that case, we have to wonder whether the HotdogsLadies account is really run by somebody named "Hotdogs Ladies", or in fact whether it's actually run by Merlin Mann under a fake name...
C. W. Says
It's not fair to expect Twitter to bend or suspend their rules simply because of the popularity of one or more of their users.
Twitter is a small, unprofitable private company who could ill afford to ward off even the most insignificant of legal challenges. That they might take a stand publicly in the interest of parody or satire is inconceivable and perhaps even somewhat naive to suggest.
As their business model evolves - through acquisition, attrition or marketplace demands - their policies and procedures will no doubt mature as well. For now however Twitter stands to gain nothing but experience and a bit of wisdom from this latest embarrassment.
With that said - I have it on good authority that, even should Twitter reverse their stand on the @cwalken account, the current contributor has lost interest in this particular project and would not continue to post to the service.
Thanks for the great article and the interesting feedback.
Mike Lonergan Says

Liz Says
I understand why it was shut down but I'll miss @CWalken. It was one of more amusing accounts.
I wish they'd let @CWalken stay and suspend all of the Hummingbird bot MLM accounts. He was amusing but they are annoying and poisoning Twitter.
K`shandra Says
I find it amusing that they tanked this account, and yet have done nothing about @keitholbermann - when Keith himself has contacted them and asked them to pull it.
david g Says
The head Flocker obviously was not aware that Twitter was "not a democracy"
Anonymous Says
It's Twitter's loss. I don't think any of us ever thought it was really Christopher Walken. We just looked forward to the cleverness and subtle hilarity of cwalken's posts. It's a shame Twitter couldn't address this in some other way than account suspension.
Cwalken - you are awesome and are sorely missed.
