Any time a new Twitter page for a castmember from the Twilight series pops up, there's a whole process hat goes into making sure it's real. Usually, this involves contacting representation for the castmember or the franchise, and this can take a bit of time.

Anna Kendrick ("Jessica Stanley" in the Twilight Saga) approached her entry into Twitter-dom a bit differently than most: for the photo box on her Twitter page, she posted a photo of herself holding a piece of paper with her Twitter account on it.

In a new interview with Kendrick, she revealed the mindset behind her clever decision.

"That might seem so silly, but I was really proud of myself for thinking of that! I saw a picture once of an actress holding a sign that read, 'yes, it's really me', and I thought that was so clever, but in theory anybody could take that photo and copy it to their site. I don't come up with many good ideas but that was a killer way to dispel the imposters and all the misinformation on the net."

It was a great idea, to be sure, and it saved those of us who try to look into such matters a whole bunch of time!

Kendrick went onto talk about Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World, Twilight, and Up In The Air in the interview, so it's worth checking out in full here.
