I tweeted today:

Note to socialists, human rights groups, communists, vegetarians, anarchists et al. Cancel your Twitter accounts. They’re on to us.

And that makes Twitter different how from the telephone, the telegram, SMS, the US mail or 2 tin cans and a piece of string?

After reading the release from the US Army I wondered if Monty Python might be writing their material.

“What Twitter could do in the meantime (if it has not already) is set up flags in its code to alert of suspicious tweeting.”

Great idea, Harry, let’s have Big Brother spending their time detecting “suspicious tweeting.” Next thing you know, we’ll all have to remove our shoes and send our Blackberries through the scanner before tapping out “Stopping by the store for milk” while the terrorists merrily IM and email away. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

I’m not sure why they say the Twitter has “become a social activism tool for socialists, human rights groups, communists, vegetarians, anarchists, religious communities, atheists, political enthusiasts, hacktivists, and others to communicate with each other and to send messages to broader audiences.”

Don’t most people fall into at least one of those categories?
