Tried a twitter-related experiment last night. I signed up for a twitter account using one of my email domains that I've never used for twitter before (so no history of spam or abuse from that domain). I followed all the suggested celebs that it pre-checkmarked for me in the signup process. Basically I did the twitter signup equivalent of "next next next install".

And then I did absolutely nothing. No DMs, no tweets, no updates to the profile. And I left it overnight.

Logged in again this morning, and whaddya know:

Twitter really, really, really wants peoples phone numbers.
