This is still a developing story, but it seems pretty big. Cyberscoop has released an article which I blogged separately. One of the twitter accounts I run is for a company so it is a big deal. We’ll know more soon.
Hi.
Not noticed anything unusual but then I don’t tweat, or facebook or anything only ever view.
Yes I have used direct messenging but after twitter fucked that up I just don’t.
Is the twitter breach big?
Well only if you concidder twitter really important.
As all of us know the majority of twitter is full of people that tell you when they last had a piss in a parking lot.
Yes companies use it to but I doubt its that important, a lot of the social networks have become a good place for slander anyway.
Sure it needs to be fixed, but I don’t really give a fuck if twitter gets hacked, I have almost no stake in twitter.
Same with facebook these are not important to me.
Wordpress is, my gmail is, twitter is to a point for what I use it for, but everything else.
