lol what
The Xbox account is probably run by Microsoft's principal advertising firm. So yeah, it's just a case of "We forgot to log out of the main account / into a fake one."
I don't blame Microsoft for manipulating social media through fake Twitter profiles. It happens all the time in every industry.

Maybe not, if he thinks answering "no" or "yes" will generate some sort of PR buzz. I would imagine that him/Major Nelson, i.e. the PR/Marketing figureheads would get enough real tweets to answer most questions, more than a faceless support account.

I need a job like this. I have the attention span required to type out 140 characters. I'd also have better browser session control to avoid mishaps like this one. Seriously, if anyone knows of any company looking for someone to do this for them but better and cheaper feel free to PM the bajeezus out of me.
The interesting thing is that this particular tweet was tweeted from browser (Web Twitter). Actual social media accounts use some kind of client

How does $38K/year sound to you for doing this job?
One can say, you're always online.

Its not. That's sounds more like the average household income, which tends to two sources of income.

While the title is a bit of a joke amoungst marketers, the position involves a lot more than just "updating twitter and facebook".

Honest mistake, it's not really that bad. I doubt she is even going to be in any/much trouble.
I'd do it. For real. I really would. Easy, mindless work that I could easily do from home.

Why would anyone put their home coordinates on there....Unless it's not her home? But why omg this is so weird.

Their honesty terrifies me sometimes.
When it became apparent XboxSupport needs fake questions about the Xbone, it does become a bit of an issue.
It depends on where you live, as different areas with different avg. costs of living have different mean/median incomes. Either way, 50-60k is much higher than the median(better metric than mean, which is skewed too much by the extremely high income) in most areas.

What in the blazing hells happened to Dan Greenawalt?

you can't put a price on sparks
I'm freaking out over here man. This is way too fucking weird for me
Why do they need fake questions? Are the real questions making them look bad? I don't understand why any company would need to do this when there are a plethora of people ready to complain about their product and ask for help
