Twitter Pulls the Plug Late Night on #noh8
Tuesday, July 14th, 2009By: Kymber Veautour
Late night Twitterers just had the rug pulled out from under them when Twitter pulled the active link for #noh8. What is #noh8? It was a thread that was quickly making its way up the ranks to being the top Twittered topic. #noh8 linked you to an admitted homophobe. The website states “As I’ve said before, I will freely admit I’m homophobic.”, yet the writer takes a firm stand on same sex marriage, and it being allowed.
Why did it make so many waves on Twitter last night? It seems everyone IN favor of Prop 8 were trying to get it to the top Twittered spot. (They made it as far as number 2 by the way before Twitter pulled it.)
The question should be… why did Twitter pull it? It clearly gets pulled and reposted under a new tiny url by another user….
