State Dept. Helped Keep Twitter Up

Good job.

The U.S. State Department contacted the social networking service Twitter over the weekend to urge it to delay a planned upgrade that could have cut daytime service to Iranians, a U.S. official said on Tuesday.

Both comments and pings are currently closed.

    I’m not sure I understand tagging Clinton if you don’t even bother to mention her while giving props.

  3. Because its generally understood that the Sec. Of State runs the State Dept.

    Huh?

    OUR State Department?

    The one in Foggy Bottom?

    They did this?

    They did something right and smart?

    Gotta be a mistake. They must have figured that the Iranians were gonna bash Bush or something.

    A bit tongue in cheek, Oliver. I think you know what I’m getting at. You’ve been fairly negative a lot of times towards Clinton and in this particular instance when you’ve actually got something nice to say, neglecting to mention her at all, except with a tag, comes off as grudging. That was my point.
