That's insane. I'm now imaging a world in which twitter existed in WW2. Hitler taunting Stalin in 140 characters. But Hitler couldn't get @Hitler because some asshole already took it so he has to be @Schmitler
It's sort of hilarious, in a grim way. I'm tempted to follow both of them to see if they get up to any 'no ur a n00b' shenanigans.
It's like watching two kids on Xbox Live. Except the Xbox Live folks at least have some semblance of civilization to them.
It will be so awesome when some nation tweets their demands to another with the addition "Our words are backed with nuclear weapons".
Next up, the IDF accuses Hamas of being "rocket-spamming n00b-t00bers" and Hamas retaliates with complaints of spawn-camping.
Don't they also pay people to put pro-Israeli comments on just about every comment thread on the internet?
I've seen the original tweets but not looked at the Al Qassam twitter feed until today. They are posting every rocket/mortar strike, how many projectiles, what type and the targets, combat actions, reports of hits and reports of counterstrikes by the IDF. It amazing what level of battlefield visibility/C&C even commercial technology brings to warfare these days.
Pampers crisis! What will Israel do without their precious brand-name diapers? No but seriously what the fucking fuck
Forget Twitter. How about gamyfying the IDF giving out cheevos for reading and sharing? http://www.idfblog.com/
