Channel 10 gets caught by the Streisand Effect
On Monday 28 January 2013, in a month which saw Australia wracked by bushfires and floods, @TenLateNews tweeted this…..
Once the fingers stopped typing the Channel 10 crew apparently had second thoughts and deleted this monumentally inappropriate tweet. Thereby ensuring it was going to be picked up and amplified by the Twitterverse.
Hers is a small sample:
. @TenLateNews what happened to that ridiculous tweet? Why delete? We all know it happened. #auspol #ausmedia
“@FakeChrisPyne: Hey @TenLateNews, I think you misplaced your tweet. Lucky I saved a copy for you! #auspol http://t.co/NT0YVITf” What the?
Oh. Look at @tenlatenews deleting tweets like they never happened. New to the internet, are we? #tenlate
In a sea of @AndrewLamingMP derp, @TenLateNews still leads the pack at 48.59% Add your vote now http://t.co/0bdKCwCk#DumbestTweet2013

Uncle Joe Hockey, insomniac
Think a pollie found awake after 3am is either partying hard or tackling a backlog in policy paperwork?
Think again. Some are just cybersurfing and playing with 140 characters on Twitter.
GO TO SLEEP JOE!

Trump melts down as Obama romps back into the White House
Donald Trump went into Twitter meltdown when it became evident that Barack Obama had been re-elected as President.
He may have deleted one or two of those tweets, but what remains courtesy of Topsy may haunt him in the future:
Our country is now in serious and unprecedented trouble... like never before.
House of Representatives shouldn't give anything to Obama unless he terminates Obamacare.
Hopefully the House of Representatives can hold our country together for four more years...stay strong and never give up!
The electoral college is a disaster for a democracy.
Our country is now in serious and unprecedented trouble...like never before.
This election is a total sham and a travesty. We are not a democracy!
More votes equals a loss...revolution!
Lets fight like hell and stop this great and disgusting injustice! The world is laughing at us.
We can't let this happen. We should march on Washington and stop this travesty. Our nation is totally divided!
The phoney electoral college made a laughing stock out of our nation. The loser one!
He lost the popular vote by a lot and won the election. We should have a revolution in this country!
Well, back to the drawing board!

Cathy Stoner gets caught out and shut down
The Sunday Telegraph 14 October 2012
Unfortunately for Cathy Stoner, it is harder to eradicate tweets than she originally thought.
Here is an example of the last 401 still on record at http://topsy.com/twitter/cathystoner?nohidden=1&page=1
and, at the time of writing her Twitter Pics were still online at http://www.twicsy.com/i/pzLCE.
Although www.cathystoner.com/ is now hidden behind a blank pink screen.

@OakeyMP you have abused the trust of all who supported you +your constituents. You were put there for a reason. God will not be mocked.

@elissa1987 isn't it disgraceful? They clearly think we are stupid.

May the gods bless the Australian Broadcasting Commission.....
ABC News on Friday 26 November 2010:
The editor-in-chief of The Australian is threatening to sue a journalism academic over claims published on Twitter that he told a staff member what to write in regards to the paper's coverage of climate change.
In an article published on The Australian's website, Chris Mitchell says he will sue Julie Posetti for defamation because of tweets she made purporting to quote a former rural reporter for The Australian.
Ms Posetti tweeted alleged quotes made yesterday by Asa Walhquist at a journalism conference at the University of Technology, Sydney.
Ms Posetti posted: "Walhquist: 'In the lead up to the election the Ed in Chief was increasingly telling me what to write.' It was prescriptive."
In another tweet Ms Posetti claims Walhquist said: "'It was absolutely excruciating. It was torture': Asa Walhquist on fleeing The Australian after being stymied in covering #climate."......
ABC News has now published audio of a relevant section of Walquist's presentation to the 2010 JEAA Conference (on what I think is Day 2) which appears to support Julie Posetti:
Audio Part One
Audio Part Two
Since those tapes surfaced The Australian appears to be backing down from its hardline stance with this admission on its Media Diary Blog:
Her Tweets are a fair summary of what Wahlquist said.
Sadly (and probably due to those legal threats) the Twitter account julie_posetti appears to have been deleted by its owner, however I'm sure that this incident will make for great reading in Ms. Posetti's work-in-progress thesis The Twitterisation of Journalism.
Julie blogs at http://www.j-scribe.com/ and will be tweeting in future at JounTweet.

Update:
Julie Posetti's original Twitter account appears to be online once more.
