What is the difference between an imposter and impersonator?

An impersonator just acts like someone else, usually famous and recognizable. An impostor pretends to actually BE someone else usually for devious or malicious reasons.

No, both programs do the same thing but speak a different language and use different authentication... it would be like you talking in English to someone who only speaks Korean and all the while you are trying to figure out(as are they) if they are who they say... and vice-versa...

The guy currently posting as mainworry is an imposter making fun of a different mainworry.\n\n- not sure why Y!A allows multiple instances of the same name...

Hazel, \nGood question.\nYou're correct that they have different but similar roles.\nOne key difference could be shown from a unique recruiting assignment I was offered: Help a world-reknown opera star find a personal assistant who could not only fulfill the normal roles of an executive assistant such as typing, answering phones, and making appointments but who could also be available to help with wardrobe changes when she was performing.\nHope this helps and I hope you get a GREAT job! :-)

What do you mean, be more specific. How to identitfy a person ...??... I am lost! You want to know if they are lying or if they are being honest,? what is it you are trying to figure out?

Their fake usernnames. Their usually bots. I know in order use Buddy Spy you have to make a ghost name.  Mines always says I'm in idle. You can make them say different thing.

It's called 'captcha'.  The idea is that a human being can interpret the distorted letters but it's very difficult to write a program which can.  That prevents people from writing automatic programs to go create thousands and thousands of accounts.

That really depends on the individual. Some people are really genuinely sweet; I've known many who are, and have many friends who are loyal and very nice. I've been blessed to be around these sincerely nice people.\nOn the other hand, I've known some real fakes, some who appear all nicey nicey, but they would stab you in the back, if there was a chance. So...I would say that some don't really mean it; they're fake!

Both are human derevatives.  They are just different brands.

Quote\n\nFriendster was originally intended as a pure social experiment to see exactly who was connected to whom. Rather than growing and adapting to the desires of the members, Friendster held strongly to that orignal vision and wanted only the true social network to be represented. As social networking became more popular the value of a fakester like vehicle became apparent even to Friendster administraters. Friendster changed their position and created official Fakesters to correspond with television and movie characters.\n\nBy this time, it was too late. Friendster lost most of its momentum. While fakesters exist on sites like MySpace and Facebook these sites also have features called groups that users can join to serve the same function of the fakester.\n\nUnQuote\n\nYesterday's popular site may not work well today. People move on leaving behind links which nolonger work.\nTry http://www.myspace.com/\nor http://www.facebook.com/
