Hi myloters, I have just read a post on wired.com a man has been arrested in the state of OK for useing twiter to make threats on-line. He was tritering death theats to persons attending the tax protest parties that was held thur out the nation on Apirl 15. He started making death threats on april 11 with scuh messiges like there will be a blood bath on the state capital, he tauted for the police to come and arresst him ect. The article stated that he was a conseritive and very right-wing activist with his on myspace page. His myspace page contains memes on guncontrol, the Oboma admiistration, and the new world order. The uninquie thing about this is that this the frist time anyone has been arrested for making theats by the FBI. What to you think about this person. here is the link. http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2009/04/twiterraid

I think it is quite interesting and especially shows how the authorities are being left behind and are indeed using all possible avenues.

Woohhoo, well i am a member of twitter too and i am twitting like a bird. About that news, well there must be something on the mind of that man that makes him do what is pretty obvious, he wanted to have attention. It was first time to hear such a news and i wonder if that exposure he wanted was worth it About myspace, boy you can name it, i have an account on that site too, but i think if we used these social sites really well, not because we wanted some attention or befriending people or so, but it is more than you share your views to other people. Now that maybe his piece of pie that he wanted to share to other people, strange and very weird!
