Teh Internets Thinking About Twittering?

Posted by on Wed, Oct 7, 2009 at 11:48 AM

You should probably know that it could get you fired...

A Hollywood waiter is claiming an encounter with "Hung" star Jane Adams cost him his job at a popular eatery.

...or get you arrested:

The man, Elliot Madison, 41, a social worker who has described himself as an anarchist, had been arrested in Pittsburgh on Sept. 24 and charged with hindering apprehension or prosecution, criminal use of a communication facility and possession of instruments of crime. The Pennsylvania State Police said he was found in a hotel room with computers and police scanners while using the social-networking site Twitter to spread information about police movements. He has denied wrongdoing.

Also: There is no conclusive proof that Twittering can get you laid.

I've read TFA #2 and have no idea why this man was arrested. Is it because he had a picture of Lenin in his hotel room?

To the waiter:

Please be aware, when you say something out loud. It could get you in trouble and you can't take it back.
