So Osama is dead… shot in the dome-piece as I heard on the radio this morning. I could hardly believe it when the stream first started coming over twitter. My first thoughts was how long have we been looking for that guy? and Ok now what.

Anyway with the flood of tweets to read about I got amped up and decided to post my favorite ten tweets of the event.

@DanaArikane:
"They should have captured Bin Laden alive and made him continually go through airport security for the rest of his life."

@rochellethestats:
"It’s like a Disney film… The Prince marries the Princess and the villain dies #justice"

@sickipediabot:
"So Osama Bin Laden is dead… Amazing what the Americans can do when the playstation network is down."

@Allwazerite:
"I bet Osama Bin Laden was killed after his personal information was leaked in the Playstation Network security breach."

@jesus:
"Sorry, you’re at the wrong gate, Osama."

@JediJunkie:
"Looks like Osama signed up for Foursquare on the wrong day."

@rudygay22:
"Ok so we killed Osama. Now all we have to do is find Wald and Carmen San Diego! Then I will be impressed!!!"

@unknown:
"Osama Bin Laden, Waldo, Carmen San Diego… #WorldHideAndSeekChampions" *

@NZAfro:
"R.I.P Osama Bin Laden – World Hide And Go Seek Champion (2001 – 2011)"

@davidbates:
"I bet Apple found Osama Bin Laden using that Remote Iphone Data… he was selling goats on ebay"

* I saw this one but could not find it again once I started writing this post… if your that person contact me on twitter.

Hope you enjoy National “We kicked his ass” day

I have been chatting up the #GoogleGSO thread this morning after hearing the JoshInTheBox Google Song on 1075KZL this morning.
Play it here:

It seams like there is a lot of discomfort around how the city of Greensboro is handling the marketing campaign to try and lure Google into our town. First they abandon their 1,400 follower twitter account in order to create a new branded one instead of simply using a hash-tag, and then they pay $10,000 for RLF to build a wordpress site, which is Google’s competitor for blogspot. when there already where good standing grass roots movements like http://www.google4gso.com/, and the twitter hashtag #GoogleGSO on twitter.

I hope we get it, it would mean a lot to our community but if Greensboro as a city is going to make these kind of basic mistakes on a marketing campaign we made need to look for better business leaders to help us next election season.

One thing I will give them credit for is the google crate… that is awesome

Thanks

Dang, First Twitter, Facebook, WordPress, and Blogspot. When will we be able to stop these guys? Not only that but they seem to always attack DNS except for the denial of service attack on twitter. I just hope for our sake it is not a group of people and just one hacker so we can shut them down.

All in all we got about 5-6″ of snow with some ice mixed in. I have a lot of work to do scraping the driveway while my son and wife take an afternoon nap…

Enjoy the pictures below, I hope to take some more this afternoon.

I recently made a bold statement on twitter that may cost me my dignity in the near future. I said that if I got 500 people to retweet the following tweet I would panhandle holding this sign with all money going to GSO Urban Ministries. The 500 rt’s have to be made by midnight Sept the 19th. So if your interested copy and paste the following into twitter:

RT @davidbates: the deal: rt this and I will hold http://tinyurl.com/nv7h3u for charity donations to http://bit.ly/21Ysqj must get 500 rt’s

Below is an easy way to track the number of retweets so far. Please copy and past above text instead of using retweet buttons below. Thanks

Thank you

I remembered a clock tutorial from Adobe’s Devnet and decided it would be a cool place to start. So I opened the example (time2) and modified it to have a transparent background and added an event listener so you could drag the clock around the desktop… Give it a try and let me know what you think…

Dear Twitter,

Over the past few weeks I have been unable to rely on you as a collaborative platform.
First there was the attack on August 6th that went all day. I forgave you for that as it was probably some russian 16 yr old hacker with a bot-net his daddy gave him for christmas. Then there was the blackout of all apps, exept tweetdeck thank goodness. But now you have greyed out my submit button on twitter.com and have turned my tweetdeck application into mush.

Further you have not posted why this has happened on either blog.twitter.com or status.twitter.com where you told me before to look for information. This time I believe it to be your fault as I can get to the website and browse around but cannot submit tweets.

Please know that this in now way means I am leaving Twitter. I love the service when it works. This note is a simple request to try and understand why this is happening and hopefully understand how you are going to better your service so that this does not happen again.

Now to try and figure out how we published post around before twitter… oh yeah I’ll Digg it!

Thanks
David Bates

update: at 10:30 I was able to tweet again… It looks like this storm has passed! let’s hope it doesn’t happen again.

UPDATE:
Looks like twitter came online about 12:40EST but then went back down shortly thereafter. I hope they can combat the attacker.

UPDATE#2: This story made CNN! Twitter is back online but dog slow.
