Questions, I've got questions

So whose idea was it to chat up the Supernatural season premiere on Twitter by making #luciferiscoming a trending topic? Was that some kind of consensus alternative when nothing on the first slate of #deaniscrying, #samisshirtless, #brothersarehugging, #castielismycopilot, and #ofcoursebobbyisstillgrumpy got a majority of votes? Or is there some kind of fan campaign to market the show to Satanists?

And hey, while I'm asking -- you know that thing where someone makes an LJ post, and then one or more people comment, "This."? Is that just an LJ/fandom/et al. thing, or does it happen on other kinds of blogs? When did it start -- and more importantly, where will it end?

And another thing! The whole "Signal Boost" in subject lines when you're linking to something -- where did that come from? Is it a Firefly thing? Just how many of my pet peeves can I blame on Joss Whedon?

I'm pretty sure that came from the folks who run the SuperWiki. I think they thought it would be more intriguing to the general populace than anything that needed actual knowledge of the show.

Ah, I should have guessed. That was pretty clever (the fact that I pictured a committee meeting sadly speaks volumes about my recent worklife). Of course, it had unforeseen consequences.

I think it's hilarious that some people now think Satanists are taking over Twitter.

Nah, they're still busy laying siege to MySpace last I heard.
