But it's shaping up to be more than that. Creative fakesters are using the blank slate to turn Heello into the parallel-universe version of Twitter.
A world in which Heello was cofounded by Ev Williams (@ev), who acts as CEO and gives away free iPads to Heello users.
Where CNN Breaking News (@cnnbrk) reports all the news in ALL CAPS, including breaking news reports like "JUSTIN BIEBER" and "I JUST UNLOCKED THE 'I'M ON A BOAT' BADGE ON FOURSQUARE."
A world where Mark Zuckerberg (@MarkZuckerberg) is a profane, sexist womanizer.
And where major web services (past and present) flirt and snark at each other, like @Tumblr, @Color, @4chan, and @Pownce.
Of course, Heello wouldn't be complete without its own Social Media Experts. "Please Check Out My Blogpost 'How To Drive Qualified Traffic To Your Blog Via Heello.'"
Heello is like a blank-slate Twitter with no moderation or verification. I doubt the Heello team wanted or expected this behavior, but they inadvertently created a perfect playground for parody and meta-commentary, like Uncyclopedia or Encyclopedia Dramatica's parallel world versions of Wikipedia.
It should be fun to see how they respond.
Update: Marshall Kirkpatrick, lead writer of ReadWriteWeb, comments, "They told me they were going to remove any of these that weren't clearly satires. That's a real shame and shows a lack of sense of humor." The first casualty was @ev, which was deleted shortly after this post was published.
