False alarm: Google does not index protected Twitter [tweet]

J Los Angeles times and now, Mashable reported that the vulnerability in Twitter [tweet] a complete copy to be protected indexed by Google. In considering this issue, we have found shows that Google is not protected [tweet], and indexing of all [tweet] Assembly, and some accounts now protected.

At first glance, it appears that there is a gap in the protected Tweet Twitter security, and Prime Minister [tweet] example of this is supposedly written by Bill Clinton showed a search engine. However, [tweet], which is shown here belong to the "fake Bill Clinton back when I owned @ billclinton and user account is private property. One of [tweet], and that is indexed by the groups in the @ billclinton can be found, he emigrated to @ here.It notbillclinton account, it seems that all accounts of those Twitter users may have protected them since they opened, they are in danger to be indexed tweets.] As it turns out that if at some point, this is an overview, then [tweet] made the while still living in the Google index.

This incident is definitely afraid of the accounts to protect consumers who value their privacy highly on the site and put some confidence in the [tweet] Twitter for their own safety. Twitter has had some security in the past with a large number of corporate documents are out, and before that with many of the key figures in the accounts is simplified. Because "[tweet] protected risk" Failure is essentially without a problem, and it seems that Twitter is the Security Service under control at the moment. Privacy and trust are important issues for companies such as Twitter and this is the real issue, of course, will be a lot of consumers have felt betrayed.

Michael Jackson dies: Twitter's good luck

The difference between professional and citizen journalism and the press is relatively simple: one does not pay for the signing of what we see and hear, and the second is to be paid accordingly, and have the confidence to report what we see and hear.

To the excitement at the end used to the comments, posts, and the wall, but Michael Jackson might be dead, whereas professional sources that have not yet applied for such things (at the time of the publication of any event). Here's an example I saw on the screen: twitter completely crazy about this news. Look for me to supply all the major talk and spread rumors, and news stories linked to round left, right and center. This makes me think of twitter and the engines are similar to no more than common machine.

Gave two examples include the Hudson River prior to the incident and the arrest of terrorists in a British university. This is reported by the citizen in the professional press and journalists able to report. But out, I saw a continuous flow of information leakage, just as it was. When you try to gain the credibility of the ideas that the person presented to the public forum, such as birds singing, opens the possibility of other adverse consequences process.Even at that time, the BBC News that such a comment on twitter, "unconfirmed" just the facts. But the fact that it is still uncertain to inform the public does not know, but to go to the proliferation of social media. However, the BBC, stressing that especially at this stage, it is important that news reports based on facts only through official sources and those who do not idle. (23:10 BST).

From my perspective, here, on twitter, and another to the Internet is based on right or wrong, and just yesterday I had said, according to the examples mentioned above, in Iran last week that twitter is a great way to keep the same level of news . Now I am not so sure. Is the amount which was previously scattered unconfirmed news on the current situation, put your reputation in social media and shame.
