A Ben Konop supporter, David Cole, sent me these messages via FaceBook notes. Notice the attempt at civil and intelligent discussion he uses to convince me that his candidate is worthy of the mayor's office.

Hacker attack clamps down Twitter, Facebook also 'looking into' problems

NEW YORK (AP) -- A hacker attack shut down Twitter on Thursday morning, and Facebook also said it was "looking into" possible site problems.

Twitter said in its status blog Thursday that it was "defending against a denial-of-service attack," in which hackers command scores of computers to a single site at the same time, preventing legitimate traffic from getting through.

Unknown hackers have been targeting Twitter and Facebook, according to news reports. The world's one-sentence bloggers are stifled and stymied.

City council at large candidate David "P.R.E.Z." Washington, has announced his Facebook Tour taking place on August 6th-8th, calling it an extension of his commitment to public service.

"Normally on the campaign trail, you go door to door pretty much uninvited. Well, our approach is slightly different."

Today is part 2 of the expose on corruption and vestiges of the Lucas County GOP. What started as a profile on the status on the Lucas County Republican Party one year in, ends up being allegations made at the Board of Elections and at previous volunteers for the party. One particular note came up which I need to come clean on.

Her [Bernadette Noe] personal Facebook account recently listed numerous Ohio "friends" among local and state Republicans, including Mr. Reichert, Wack, and Lynn Olman, a member of the Lucas County elections board.

From Darrin Moore's Notes on Facebook...

I'd be interested in hearing a liberal's side of the argument why these choices are not mistakes but are actually smart moves on Obama's part. Help me understand.

1. Offended the Queen of England

2. Bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia

3. Praised the Marxist Daniel Ortega

4. Kissed Hugo Chavez on the cheek

5. Endorsed the Socialist Evo Morales of Bolivia

6. Announced we would meet with Iranians with no pre-conditions

7. Gave away billions to AIG, also without pre-conditions

8. Expanded the bailouts

Seen this on Facebook the other day and thought it worth sharing.

I gave a talk to a high school in Toledo on Friday, which gave me a chance to do some ad hoc focus-grouping of how teenagers engage with media. (To put the demographics in perspective, this is a private school that, beyond some scholarship kids, is mostly upper-middle class and up.) We covered a lot of interesting ground: They don’t care much about blogs or Twitter, for instance, and they get more news from The Daily Show and Colbert than anywhere else.
