Facebook and Twitter for Historical Figures

Some museums have been experimenting with creating fake Facebook pages and Twitter feeds for historical figures connected with their subject focus or local area. If you want to have a go for your museum or village or town, read on.

The tool to create a fake Facebook wall (page) is at My Fake Wall www.myfakewall.com/ - you don't need to have a Facebook account, though it helps if you know what the layout is supposed to look like.

The fake Twitter builder is at http://faketweetbuilder.com - there are various options you can explore.
