Tech: Twitter susceptible to pro-Iranian hackers, say pro-Iranian hackers

Yo, Twitter, not to be critical or anything, but your site is large and powerful enough that it shouldn’t be able to get taken down like this. source

U.S.: Was @military_mom right to tweet about her son drowning?

  • Please pray like never before. my 2 yr old fell in the pool.
  • Blogger @military_mom (a.k.a. Shellie Ross) • Regarding the drowning of her son. Many are up in arms about the fact that she tweeted about the incident half an hour after it happened. He died a few hours later. Our feeling? Twitter is just a communication mechanism like any other. It’s as easy to use as texting or phone calls, or any other mechanism you use. Twitter isn’t a faddish thing – Twitter is a communication mechanism. People can and will use it for this. Are we wrong? Let us know. (Either way, and let us be clear – this is a sad story and that doesn’t take away from that one bit. We actually find the New York Post story that brought up the issue to be quite disrespectful.) source

Music: Chris Brown is a whiny brat who just quit Twitter over being stupid

  • dumb Brown checked a Wal-Mart to see if they stocked his new album, “Graffiti.” “The didnt even have my album in the back … not on shelves, saw for myself,” he tweeted.
  • dumber Wal-Mart refuted his claims, saying that they in fact did stock the album. Clearly being pulled back by his handlers, he quit his Twitter account earlier today. Ta-da! source

Tech: Fair and Square: Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey simplifies buying stuff

square1201

  • OK, this is pretty cool. Jack Dorsey, one of the guys behind Twitter, has another startup which promises to revolutionize the process of credit/debit transactions. It’s a tiny square. It requires an audio jack. That’s it. Like Twitter, it’s dead simple. Unlike Twitter, it’s not a super-esoteric concept at the outset, begging people to figure out why it’s necessary. It just makes sense. Kudos. Could someone give us a reason to use this? source
