twitter fail!

http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/Movies/04/03/moore.twitter.threat/index.html

As we all know, twitter is an up-and-coming social networking site. Celebs, politicians, and normal citizens have all jumped on the band wagon. So it's not surprising to hear that an interesting occurance dealing with twitter has hit the media. While Demmi Moore was in Fance, she received a tweet from a psychotic fan threatening suicide. Whaaaat???? Fans on her twitter noticed, as well as Demmi, and the police were dispatched to the location of the woman in trouble. Essetnailly they controlled the situation and took her into custody.
I'm surprised that this is the first fan to do something like this on a celeb's twitter feed. If you think about all the obsessed followers, is a personal twitter safe for a celebrity to possess? do you think that there will be more events like this as twitter becomes more popluar?

  1. I would imagine we'll see such incidences increase. I wonder if this is part of the reason some celebrities have their tweets "ghostwritten" by a handler.
