I thought this hoax was most amusing -- definitely fascinating to watch the response from the Twitterverse. I blogged a chronology of how some of the tweets about this went viral here:
"Is The Twitterverse A Wee Bit Gullible? New Premium Account Idea Goes Viral!"

When I tweeted the link, I made sure to let my 22k followers know it was *hilarious.* Seems lots of other folks didn't see the humor part. As you say, Andrew, so many people are looking for how to fully leverage and monetize Twitter!
Cheers,
