Is that really funds management doyen Geoff Wilson being heckled by randoms on the site formerly known as Twitter? Yes, yes it is.

After several years lurking as an anonymous user, a trip to New York meeting the likes of Twitter power user Bill Ackman (who manages a leading hedge fund in his spare time) convinced the Wilson Asset Management founder that he was really, really missing out. And so, three weeks ago, @GeoffWilsonWAM was born. And hasn’t it been rather distracting.
