FB is saying Occupy Wall Street has been censored on Twitter. Anyone know about this?

1. Seems like that would be easy enough to check out.. anybody? n/t

[patrice]

4. I already did and didn't see anything different. Are there buffers? Does it actually run real-time?

[nadinbrzezinski]

5. runs real time

or if you want to have a delay tenths of a second delay

[glinda]

2. I still have a link up in FB and Twitter on live coverage. Still plenty of sites.

There's a live Twitter feed with a video stream here:

3. I've got a few hashtags about wall street scrolling past in my feed.

I'll check in if that changes.

No one knows who is actually tweeting for @USDayofRage. Don't trust everything they say. #Occupywallstreet #ows #sep17 #s17 #takewallstreet

If this is true ... .@Twitter blocking #OccupyWallStreet from trending globally #TakeWallStreet cc @anonops

edit to add: I don't know if it's true; just that it's being tweeted

[EFerrari]

9. It was trending an hour ago:

@OperationLeakS Anonymous
#TakeWallStreet is Now Tranding World Wide, My tweetdeck crashed twice trying to keep up #OccupyWallStreet #Sep17
1 hour ago via web

11. You know, if you and I keep posting similar things at almost the same time, (edited)

and we do it too often, we're going to have go meet for beer or something. LOL

edit: and right on cue...there's sabrina. :)

[EFerrari]

17. LOL

10. #occupywallstreet is being blocked, according to Twitter, but

Blocked from trending according to this:

@NewLeftProject
NewLeftProject
Apparently #occupywallstreet is being blocked from trending, so use #takewallstreet instead. (twitter.com/#!/OccupyWallS…)

@OccupyWallSt
Occupy Wall St.
4 hours ago : #takewallstreet is what we'll use!

So use #takewallstreet instead apparently. They should know you can't censor the social media unless you do what Mubarak did, shut it down.

13. K & thanks! . . . So, tweets can be blocked and users don't know? Does Twitter do that? wow. nt

[sabrina 1]

19. I don't know. I can't see how they can stop people from using

the tag and I'm also a bit leery about reports that they are. Eg, the tweet I posted above, don't know how reliable it is. They could do something like that, tell people to use a different hashtag and diminish the trend that way. Although I think that would only create two trends and not do much damage.

So, unless you are familiar with the source on Twitter, which I an not in this case, it's hard to tell what is true or what is not at this point.

[Cerridwen]

14. See my post#11; I'm talkin' about ya. n/t

[sabrina 1]

16. Lol, okay!

:-)

21. #occupywallstreet NOT blocked, I have been following for hours.

Here is list of twitter pages of the Wall St events that I have been watching:

12. I read that somewhere else this morning.

I don't do Twitter, so I don't know.

[EFerrari]

18. Blue, you'd love twitter.

Instead of going to 25 websites to keep up with people you like, you just set your account to receive their tweets. No maintenance, no time commitment.

[Blue_In_AK]

20. I really don't know much about it.

Can you do it on your desktop? (Oooh, that sounds nasty. :evilgrin: ) Believe it or not, I don't own a smart phone.

[EFerrari]

22. Of course. I just have a link in my browser

and use that.

It takes about a minute to set up the account.

And then, the whole deal is just finding whose tweets you want to get, "following" them so they will go into your stream. Once you choose them, they all come to you.

I have some friends on Facebook and have an account there but it's just so much WORK that I don't go there very often. Twitter is the opposite.

[Blue_In_AK]

23. Shannyn Moore here always says

that Facebook is the gateway drug for Twitter. :) But you've convinced me I need to do it because there are things I like to follow. Thanks for the encouragement.

[EFerrari]

15. #OccupyWallStreet is swamped, tweets can't even load fast enough. n/t
