Yes, Apple really is taking to Twittering..

Update: both accounts were suspended...

Following up on yesterday's Twittering Apple post, 9to5mac reader Hard-Hat-Mac points us to two more Apple Twitter feeds.

twitter.com/appleconcierge is Apple's Store concierge Twitter page. Apple geniuses are available for an easy 140 charater q/a. It looks like it is getting answered every minute or so but there are currently only 6 followers. This might someday beat the support forums for finding trends on bad Apple parts or getting a quick answer from a Genius.

Additionally, Apple PR has their own Twitter Page at twitter.com/ApplePR. Currently it has 18 followers. We expect that to increase pretty quickly. How many is it at now?

9to5mac.com has it own Twitter feed at twitter.com/9to5mac but frankly we've been slacking. We'll try harder to keep it fresh.

The AppleConcierge is a fake i.m.h.o.
An official Apple employee would never use a crappy comprimized jpeg like that (http://s3.amazonaws.com/twitter_production/profile_background_images/483...)

Both accounts are now

Both accounts are now suspended dues to "user name squatting".
Mystery solved then. Mosey along now, nothing to see here.

To me, they're all fake -

To me, they're all fake - nothing is mentioned of them on the Apple website.

Both twitter accounts have been taken down. Due to strange activity.

Surely if Apple really did

Surely if Apple really did start Twitter accounts, they wouldn't have shitty background templates like that?

I was kinda excited about

I was kinda excited about this. Would have been a unique way for Apple to reach people, and vice-versa. I did question its long-term sustainability, especially WRT the genius.
