As a follow-up to my Twitter is a waste of time blog, I provide a 4th example about the application of Twitter and social media communication:
Late night, July 4, Sarah Palin uses Twitter to threaten to sue the entire Internet.
Sarah Palin’s lawyer wrote that “we will be exploring legal options this week to address such defamation”. Sarah Palin has singled out blogger Shannyn Moore, [link to Ms. Moore's original blog post: http://bit.ly/4DSUv3] and those who re-publish “this defamation”, such as Huffington Post, MSNBC, the New York Times and the Washington Post.
Sarah Palin’s lawyer says, the Palins will not allow them [Shannyn More,
Huffington Post, MSNBC, the New York Times and the Washington Post]
to propagate defamatory material without answering to this in a court of law.
Though the New York Times and Washington Post have yet to write anything about this, but Van Flein said he believed they were asking questions. What I’ve been informed is that they’ve been interviewing people in Wasilla about this, and have tried to interview the governor’s parents about it,
Van Flein said.

Politics Twitter-style. You can join 96,002 others who follow Sarah Palin on Twitter at: www.twitter.com/AKGovSarahPalin.
I have a question, should she give up the @AKGov part of her Twitter name?
Lesson: Even within Twitter’s 140 characters you can effectively communicate.
