Twitter a tool for terrorists?

10.29.2008

A paper written by a US Army intelligence group examines the possible uses terrorists could have for mobile technologies, including Twitter. I read about in in Information Week. Of course, just about any technology can be put to nefarious use, but I suppose it’s a good thing that there are people in the military who [...]

Now I remember.

10.24.2008
