The rumor is that one of the many J.K. Rowling pages MUST be the real Jo, and she replies:

That was funny, her updates are usually amusing. It must be really odd to see people on the net pretending to be you though! Oh well at least J.K has put that rumour to rest.

Very well said Jo.
And on top of that it was hilarious too.
It must be very odd going online and seeing people who are pretending to be you.
I know I would be freaked out.
Anyways, I am happy that this rumor was laid to rest.

Hmm, well said.
When someone is so original like our Ms. Rowling here, there are bound to be those who claim to be her.
Therefore, Ms. Rowling is a leader, not a follower.

It'll be funny seeing the reactions of all those claiming to be 'JK Rowling' on Bebo/MySpace or whatever. I'm glad she made it clear, about 90% of all "actors" with MySpace or Bebo are fake. I've seen about 10 people claiming to be Dan Radcliffe on Bebo, which is pathetic bacause i'm pretty sure he has enough to be dealing with, filming HBP and his new movie. He doesn't have time to sit and socialise with his fans, even if he wanted to. The same goes for Emma and Rupert. Im sure they don't even have time to tell their fans they don't have a Bebo or MySpace. XD

Interesting...this is a new one on me. If JKR did have a myspace or bebo the poor woman would be showered with millions of emails every day. I can see the sense in not having a social networking account for someone in her position.

That's actually quite funny to think about... JK with a myspace or facebook page. Like she doesn't have enough other stuff going on without spending time on social networking sites.

What a crack-up!! I love her sense of humour! I mean, all these "a close friend confided" insights into a FAKE JK Rowling is so hilarious!
Maybe I could add one of the fake Rowlings to my friends list?!!

I wouldn't have thought she would have a myspace, she doesn't doesn't look like someone who would use it; having children in all, myspace isn't the best place to meet/hear about people.

Well it is certainly interesting to hear that someone thinks JK has time for websites like MySpace, etc. It's actually sort of silly to even think it. I have a MySpace and I don't even have time to visit it regularly. How could JK havetime for such things?

Hahaha that's funny imagining other JK Rowlings from alternative universes that party. Pity though, it would be cool if she had a bebo. Of course, she'd get WAY too many people requesting to be her friend, it would be annoying and take all day to decline them all. But maybe if they made it possible to have a page that you can view without requesting to be her friend and you can't leave comments and white board drawings and stuff. That would be cool.

So that now makes it two people in the universe who don't have any connection to Facebook, MySpace or Bebo! I'm in good company. :)
