Calling for the death of someone on the micro-blogging service Twitter probably wouldn’t garner you much attention, unless of course you’re Dave Winer, a pioneer in RSS and author of Scripting News, one of the oldest blogs on the net. When he ‘Tweeted’ (the cool-kid lingo for updating one’s Twitter blog) “Kill Hill Kill Hill” while watching presidential candidate Hillary Clinton on TV, a few people were taken aback.
Those who read Winer’s sarcastic and occasionally caustic blogs and Tweets probably won’t bat an eye, but the secret service probably won’t be so understanding. Keep in mind this guy really didn’t want Hillary to die, but we’re thinking people will take his blog the wrong way.
