Online Attack Silences Twitter for Much of Day
By JENNA WORTHAM
Twitter, the popular microblogging site, was out of service much of the day Thursday as it worked to defend itself against a Web attack, but service appeared to have been restored by late evening.

Many of Twitter’s 45 million legitimate visitors were unable to use the service for hours. Analysts characterized the disruption as a denial-of-service attack, in which hackers overwhelm a Web site by sending it a deluge of junk requests, and one suggested the attack might have originated in Russia or Georgia.

Facebook and Google fended off similar attacks on Thursday.

Most computer security analysts did not cite a specific source of the attack on Twitter.........

i tweet, do YOU tweet? well if you do

be careful! we all knew this was BOUND to happen

(note: the woman had 20 followers. only 20 people at MOST read her tweet BEFORE she was sued. now the company suing her, horizon management, got ME and who knows how many more people to read about how they MAY be assholes!)

UPDATED: Rounding up the buzz... Will one Chicago woman's Tweet cost her $50,000?
Marian Wang

Who knew less than 140 characters could potentially cost more than $50,000, in the form of a defamation lawsuit?

That's something Amanda Bonnen is discovering the hard way.

In May, the Chicago resident did what many of Twitter's millions of users do--she tweeted a complaint. Specifically, she tweeted THIS complaint:

Today, Horizon Group Management filed a lawsuit against her, alleging that her statement damaged the company's business reputation.

According to the complaint filed in Cook County court today, Bonnen "maliciously and wrongfully published the false and defamatory Tweet on Twitter, thereby allowing the Tweet to be distributed throughout the world.".............

this is GREAT

the cnn reporter don lemon has to BEG for positive tweets about sarevil! I LOVE IT
