Professor Layton Tweeting Riddles
June 30, 2009 6:00 AM | Eric Caoili
In anticipation of Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box's release this August, Nintendo of America has setup of a Twitter account for the top hat wearing sleuth, dispensing bite-sized riddles for followers to solve. It's a cute idea, and it almost makes up for the long delay since Diabolical Box's Japan release nearly two years ago.
The professor is quick to admit the silliness of the affair, though. "Frankly... I'm ashamed," he discloses in his first tweet. "I have made myself a Twitter page and officially joined the world of technology. Perhaps Luke may help me update."

That this twitter was in any way set up by Nintendo is a common misconception
I'm guessing someone thought it was an official Layton twitter merely because it links to the official site (which doesn't link back to it) and news of this incorrect assumption just spread
This twitter (and a few related twitters) are fan based twitters run by a group of (possibly school age) fans
In the case of at least one of the twitters, this was done mainly to build up a following in order to promote a new forum
