Tweet Eden

Social networking is the hottest thing going, perhaps for a long time to come. I guess it sould not have surprised me that you can now buy twitter followers and facebook friends. But http://www.usocial.net/ did take me back just a bit. I don’t think it’s the idea as much as the price. $87 for 1000 followers? Ouch. It’s not that hard to get them. Anyway, i’m sure this is something that will become very competitive. Just doing a little research, I found someone on ebay who will send 2 tweets a week for 1 month to 25600 followers for 6 bucks. Now that’s more like it.  I’m not going to tell the ebay guy this, but he could make more than that from revtwt. It sure is fun to wath things like this develop.

President Barack Obama’s administration linked the official White House website to various social sites such as Twitter, Facebookand MySpace.

During his campaign for president, Obama had already shown himself to be attuned to new media like YouTube, and he took steps to continue use of a personal mobile device — specially secured — after being elected.

This move also gives ordinary people more ways to communicate with the White House through comments on the administration’s Facebook page. Some analysts mused that because the comments left on the Facebook page don’t appear directly on whitehouse.gov, the administration still maintains some protective distance from them.

“Because it’s not the White House’s site,” wrote blogger David Weinberger, any “trashy” or racist comments won’t appear on the official government site.

Twitter is a “micro-blogging” service, and within a short time of joining the service on Friday, the White House already had thousands of followers.

A new Twitter interface application, Twitterfall, has been around for a month now. If you’re a journalist, this is a must-see — for about 10 minutes. Then it becomes a must-use.

Miley Cyrus’ Twitter account was hacked. Miley Cyrus, like everyone else, has a Twitter account and yesterday somebody broke into it and wrote lewd status updates. The pint-size singer has a whopping 3, 501 followers and all of them were greeted with statements like: “I am not a f-ing role model. I hate little kids I only do Hannah Montana for the money.” Nice!

more photos after the hop…
Her hacker also talked about her supposed feud with Selena Gomez with one update saying: “I hate Selena Gomez. And when her and Nick were together, I sent him pictures of my c*nt.” and “Who wants to have sex?”
While the status updates were semi-funny, whoever hacked it could’ve done better. There wasn’t a single joke about her supposed boyfriend, panty man Justin Gaston, and his inherent, er, um, questionable orientation.
