On Monday, I told
you about Twitter, how I use it for
advertising this blog and interacting with Facebook. Today, Charity
forwarded me a CNN
story about James Karl Buck, an American journalism student who sent a
one-word tweet—"Arrested"—when he was arrested while covering a protest in his
adopted home, Egypt. That tweet alerted his friends to his fate and set in
motion his release, thus proving that Twitter has some serious uses, other than
telling the world what you're doing, marketing your blog, and updating your
Facebook status.
I woke up on saturday morning to find that
Twitter had sent me 1509 error messages. The phone company wants me to pay $263
for these text messssages. Since I did not authorize nor had any way to
reasonably expect such a huge volume of messages I think Twitter should pay for
their mistake. I think they should pay my pnone bill.
