It seems yesterday but we have been dealing with 140 character messages for four years now. Some have found love, freedom and business through it. Some have found friends from all over the world, guess a new twist to penpals people used to have in 60's and 70's.
Mashable has asked it's Twitter followers to give reasons why they love Twitter;
“Let us know how Twitter changed your life – add hashtag #thankstwitter4 so we can find your tweet.”
and by now #thankstwitter4 has become a trending topic! Read more at Mashable and tweet why you love Twitter as well.

Twitter DNS Hack Defaces Twitter Home Page

Tweeting Twitter Hack snapvoip.blogspot.com

While I was partying last night at a friends B'day party, Twitter got hacked by some gorup calling themselves “Iranian Cyber Army” The hackers were focused on defacing Twitter home page that harming users. (But what if they forwarded to a password stealing site pretending to be Twitter?)
The combined efforts of many organizations, Twitter, DNS Provider and the defaced page hoster have worked together to bring the twitter back up again.
I even did not know about the hack until now as after the party I sent a few tweets without any trouble. But now I know where not to host my DNS, DYN, even if Facebook, LinkedIn, Flickr, YouTube and Vimeo uses them.
