The Eyes Of Twitter Are Upon You
-
We live in a new era when people who do bad things are being watched in ways that didn't exist in the past. Take the band of a-holes who allegedly beat up a gay couple in Philadelphia -- some of them have been identified via Facebook and Twitter, and it happened because the guy behind the parody sports Twitter account FanSince09 (the name's a reference to late-arriving Phillies bandwagon jumpers) decided that he and his followers should track the miscreants down. And they did, after FanSince09 found a picture of the group taken at a restaurant and the Twitter folks began searching for pictures, posts, and links. The police say that the information they collected helped narrow the search. That is just awesome detective work. (WPVI-TV/Philadelphia)
