Whether you love it, hate it or love to hate it, one thing is for sure — the social networking phenomenon Twitter is blowing up by the day.
And most importantly, becoming more respected by higher authorities.
Jack Dorsey's 2006 creation began as a status-update, microblogging venue which slowly turned into a digital hub for news, celeb gossip and online SMS texting, in a sense. Now with more than 100 million accounts created, tweetin' the deets has caught the eye of those involved in the legal field.
CNN.com reports a Boston man on an area transit system aided in the capturing of an alleged flasher by posting the suspect's photo on his Twitter account. After witnessing the man "fidgeting" with himself in public, Nay Khun tweeted "pervert on the 2nd car of the red line ... help me report him."
Shortly after, the man — a known offender — was recognized and arrested Friday for open and gross lewdness, stated the Massachusetts Bay Transit Authority police (@MBTApoliceTPSA2).
MBTA Deputy Police Chief Joseph O'Connor told CNN.com that Khun's innovative quick thinking helped identify the suspect, leading to his arrest.
#ItsTimeToFaceReality, anti-Twitverse, this up-to-the-minute microblog is the way we're headed. It provides fast, easy messaging with endless possibilities. If you want to reach an audience — no matter how big or how small — Twitter is the way to do it.
