Just found out I had a Twitter account, I didn't open it but it had 2
followers despite no input from me at all. How can that happen?
Perhaps it might be worth those who haven't got an account checking that
they actually haven't.

I prefer the Zen approach....what is the sound of no hands tweeting?

It can't happen. You've been spammed and scammed.
You cannot have a Twitter (or Facebook) account if you haven't opened it
yourself, in the same way that you cannot discover you suddenly have an
account at Lloyds bank if you know you haven't ;-)

Maybe, nothing of any import had happened so I can't understand why.

You have a lot more faith than I. Looking at the situation the account may
have been opened automatically when I commented on a new article on Yahoo
but you have to tick a box for that to happen and I certainly have not, I'm
quite careful about such things.
Like my Facebook page I've closed it now anyway.

If you checked that your Facebook paged was closed within 14 days of
closing it, it is still open.
