A POSSIBLE EXPLANATION FOR WEINERGATE?
Daily Mail:Revealed: The glamorous Twitter girls followed by Congressman Weiner as he denies sending lewd picture
Questions arise after a look at a politician's "tweetstream" ... Michelle Malkin has finally jumped into the #WeinerGate debate, offering a package of links and VIDEO!
Michelle has an idea as to what may have actually happened: "As a dedicated Twitter user myself, the most likely scenario is that Weiner himself mistakenly DM’ed (direct-messaged) the “prank” photo to the young woman in Seattle and intended it to be private. It takes just one wrong keystroke for a private DM to appear in one’s public timeline." We'll wait and see, I guess!Onto other things:::

Eli Pariser, the author of “The Filter Bubble: What the Internet Is Hiding From You.” Personalization on the Web, he says, is becoming so pervasive that we may not even know what we’re missing: the views and voices that challenge our own thinking.
You know I limit the number of people I follow on twitter to 300. Look at what follows below: Should I think about cutting that number in half? Anyone? Aldon? Larry?

WASHINGTON (AP) _ NEW YORK CONGRESSMAN ANTHONY WEINER (WEE'-NUR)
ReplyDeleteIS DENYING THAT HE SENT A LEWD PHOTO FROM HIS TWITTER ACCOUNT TO A
21-YEAR-OLD WOMAN.
BUT HE ALSO SAYS HE ``CAN'T SAY WITH CERTITUDE'' THAT HE'S NOT
THE PERSON SEEN IN THE PHOTO OF A MAN'S BULGING UNDERPANTS.
THE DEMOCRAT TELLS MSNBC THAT HE DIDN'T SEND THE PHOTO, AND THAT
IT WAS THE WORK OF A HACKER.
WEINER YESTERDAY ANGRILY REFUSED TO ANSWER REPORTERS' QUESTIONS
ABOUT THE INCIDENT. TODAY, HE'S BEEN GRANTING INTERVIEWS, IN HOPES
OF PUTTING THE MATTER TO REST.
WEINER SAYS HE HAS HIRED AN ATTORNEY, AS WELL AS A PRIVATE
SECURITY COMPANY TO FIND OUT HOW SOMEONE COULD PULL OFF SUCH A
PRANK.
THE PHOTO WAS POSTED ON FRIDAY AND SENT TO A FEMALE COLLEGE
STUDENT IN SEATTLE. IT WAS QUICKLY DELETED.
WEINER WAS A TWITTER FOLLOWER OF THE COLLEGE STUDENT.
THE TWEET OF THE LEWD PHOTO FIRST WAS REPORTED SATURDAY BY A
WEBSITE RUN BY CONSERVATIVE COMMENTATOR ANDREW BREITBART.
