Twitter Hacked
Seems like the hub of the social network, Twitter was Hacked last night. For a small period of time the www.twitter.com site was defaced with an image claiming to have been the work of the Iranian Cyber Army.
At least the group claiming responsibility left an email address. I am guessing that they might have a few email awaiting them this morning, eh?

Twitter slammed as the dumbest dot.com idea
This is an interesting story. On July 03, 2009 the Times Business, Money Cenrtal folks published a list of the 10 dumbest dot.com ideas. Surprisingly Twitter was at the top.
Twitter is anything but ‘dumb’ and it would seem that the Times are basing the ‘dumber than dumb’ on just how much money they have generated. Which again is very short-sighted in my opinion. Since when has the amount of...
