FT Alphaville " @MarioDraghiECB - or not Posted by David Keohane on Jan 17 13:20. The financial twittersphere was abuzz on Tuesday over an odd new user - one @MarioDraghiECB: "Real tragedy" - golly. It would be news to markets if the European Central Bank president was firing off thoughts like that from his "Official Twitter Account." Except... it's not Draghi. From the ECB press office: This is a hoax, as you will hear from the official ECB account shortly. So there you are. Still a bit weird though. Most euro-spoof accounts (such as the superlative @Angela_D_Merkel) are funny. This one's pretty serious. It turns out that the ECB has a strict social media policy even for external staff (hat-tip Lorcan) so we guess it's even stricter for its top policy-makers. Even so, FT Alphaville would like to ask the real Mario Draghi to get on Twitter as quickly as possible. Please?
