Every speaker's nightmare is an audience full of hecklers who feel free to shout out comments the way sports fans shout at their TVs ("You call that a triple axel?!?") and bloodthirsty ancient Romans shouted at gladiators ("You call yourself a Thracian?!?) Unfortunately, that's exactly what's happening, all too frequently, when cutting edge conferences include a Twitter "backchannel" -- a real-time electronic screen behind the speaker that displays a rolling stream of the audience's tweeted comments. That particular interactive feature is designed to create an impromptu online "community" around the event and to encourage conversation and interaction. But it can also backfire with results that range from mildly distracting to downright disastrous. Even the founder of Twitter, Jack Dorsey , is not immune to being heckled via his own invention.

A Fla. woman who tweeted about her son’s drowning death is fueling a debate over parenting, reactions to grief and the sharing — or oversharing — of personal information online. [Tip to Salon ] The controversy began Monday in a Meritt Island home where Shellie Ross (aka military_mom ) who blogs about life as a military wife, was tending to her chickens. At 5:22 p.m., Ross tweeted to her 5,400 followers: “Fog is rolling in thick scared the birds back in the coop.” At 5:23 p.m., her 11-year-old son called 911 saying that his 2-year-old brother Bryson was unconscious in their pool.

NEW YORK (AP) — Hackers briefly blocked access to the popular Internet messaging service Twitter , steering traffic to another website where a group reportedly calling itself the "Iranian Cyber Army" claimed responsibility. Users trying to reach Twitter early Friday were redirected to a Web page that CNN reported had a picture of a green flag and a message that said, "This site has been hacked by the Iranian Cyber Army." There was no evidence the hackers are actually linked to Iran. websites like Twitter and Facebook helped bring attention to the Iranian opposition during the country's crackdown after its June elections, with users posting minute-by-minute updates and amateur video.
It’s not called “French Cooking for Dummies.’’ It’s called “Mastering the Art of French Cooking,’’ and in the end, it mastered us.

Posted: December 29, 2009 NASA's new cosmic mapper successfully jettisoned a protective lens cover Tuesday, opening its infrared eyes to Universe for an unprecedented survey in 2010. A United Launch Alliance Delta 2 rocket delivered the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer spacecraft into polar orbit from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California on December 14 . The cover was secured atop the Thermos-like bottle structure that holds the observatory's telescope and state-of-the-art detectors in supercold frozen hydrogen. The cap was designed to keep out light during the early days of the mission while controllers ensured the spacecraft's orientation system would operate correctly, preventing an accidental blinding by looking at the sun or down at Earth.

Her blood-alcohol level was almost nine times South Dakota’s legal limit of .08 percent.
