In an exclusive interview with the man behind the popular fake Twitter feed @osamainhell, Fast Company finds out what it takes to do 24/7 Twitter satire, along with some tips for aspiring comedians.

The microblogging service's 140-character message limit has turned out to be the perfect forum for one-line zingers, as the individuals behind @fakeapstylebook, @bpglobalpr and @mayoremanuel all discovered for themselves.
