Harry Styles and Niall Horan have created fake twitter profiles so they can see what their fans say about them.
The One Direction stars - who are joined in the band by Zayn Malik, Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne - like to do research about what people think about them by creating pseudonyms on the social networking site and asking fans questions who have no idea they are talking to the singers.
A source said: "Harry and Niall like to get personal with the fans, but it's hard to talk one-on-one with them without being cyber-mobbed. So in the last few months they've started using pseudonyms to befriend their fans on twitter. They have no idea the strangers they're talking to are actually their idols."
"The boys change their names every few weeks to prevent being rumbled."
The teenage hunks - who have 15.4 million twitter followers between them - particularly enjoy doing it while they spend time waiting in airports and hotels.
The source added to the Daily Star newspaper: "They find out what fans enjoy most at the gigs and which songs they like and don't like. It's also a good place to hear what the latest rumours are. They say it helps them kill time as well when they're waiting in hotels and airports around the world. Harry does it the most. He loves finding out what the fans really think."

Anyway, it's finally time to walk across the street to the "venue" and I ended up sitting on the center bleachers, so I had a pretty great view. They came out and performed WMYB, One Thing, Little Things, and LWWY. Ellen interviewed them, Harry flashed us (his new tattoos), Liam said he'd date anyone in the crowd, lol. And the Ellen/Niall jokes were my fav too omg. And then these 3 girls won a contest and got to play a game where they have to guess which member is which while feeling them up, blind folded (jelly at them) and then it ended :'(
It was amazayn tho. It's weird but I miss them
omg dnw Liam tho. All for Zouis. One, both or none at all tbh.
Lol yeah I think Liam is my least fav
