that is the question. Now I am not very involved with either Twitter or Facebook although I do have an account with each one. My blogs are posted on these accounts and that is about it.
I did sit up and take notice (as did the major news outlets and half the country) when a Twitter parody affected the Peoria IL mayor and things went to h*ll in a hand basket. Actually it is kind of funny since I am looking in from the outside. Not quite so funny for the mayor. When he became aware of the parody Twitter account about him he went bonkers so to speak. He obtained a search warrant and the police hit the house where the Twitters were coming from. While this search was taking place one of the residents of the house was arrested for possession of a small amount of mar ge wana. LOL I can hardly type this as I am laughing so hard. Needless to say the arrested owner of the mar ge wana is not laughing.
