I guess that means no one got When Will You Rise. Because social media accounts are automatically disabled when you become a zombie. In order to stem the rising tide of undead identity theft.

In response to the note about the 8th-day winner above:

Mousing over the icon indicates that the winner's handle is "artofcheatery", and a look back at the comments to to the 8th day entry indicates that that person came in via a Twitter account.

Fixed. It's weird that it doesn't show up with the appropriate HTML tag.

I went spelunking in LJ's support docs, and it turns out that there's a particular syntax involved that isn't entirely obvious unless you know what to look for; the following is therefore posted for the general enlightenment of the gallery.

Here's the trick: Anyone posting under an ID from Elsewhere (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) gets what LJ calls an "identity account", which has a user ID of the form "ext_######", where the #####" represents a unique number. (A quick glance around shows that the number of digits isn't fixed.) You can see that user ID by hovering your mouse over the external service's ID icon -- that is, the little Twitter or Facebook symbol -- next to the user name in the comment header. (For example, when I do this with Cassandra's comment above, I get a user profile box with the ID ext_2346359.)

So if I plug that number into the relevant space of the LJ user link, it should get me a link to Cassandra's Facebook account, just like the one in the comment header. Let's see: [livejournal.com profile] ext_2346359.

And it works! (Backtracking to the 8th-day giveaway post, we get ext_979651 for the proper "identity account" number, which would give this as the link to the winner's Twitterpage: [livejournal.com profile] ext_979651)
