A tweet got RT'd on my timeline today that's really clearly from one of my coworkers (uses real name on the account, has pictures, etc). Should I mention this to her? And if so, how should I broach the subject? For more context, the tweet I saw was from a fandom nerdy thing, we're both very nerdy although there's a generation gap thing (she's about 6 years younger than me) and in different fandoms generally.

If she's younger, I'd lean towards guessing she chose to use her own name on social media for a reason, so it depends on whether you want to reach out and potentially gain a real life fandom friend in her? And if you want to reveal your own identity, although you can just say you looked into the retweet list. If you see the possibility of friendship, I don't see why not.

(Not that all older people are less tech-savvy, but there's always the possibility that not everyone knows that retweets can be seen, or someone else helped make their account, etc. Don't see a high chance of that happening here, although it's still possible it's a mistake and they meant to do it on a fandom-only Twitter account.)

Uh, I guess it depends why you're asking about broaching the subject? If it's about gaining a RL friend online, something like, "Hey Jane, are you [profile] therealjane on twitter? Something from that account showed up on my timeline and I didn't know you like GOT!"

Otherwise I am not sure what you would be reaching out to her for? If she's 6 years younger than you, I imagine she knows how Twitter works and that retweets end up thrown into the ether for everyone to see?
