When the hell are people going to stop believe most of the crap put out on twitter?
You say "when" as though this has been a phenomenon for a while. In my opinion, twitter has only very recently started to become a widely used source of information for news and sports. It's gonna be something that exponentially grows most likely to the point where a lot of our information will be gathered by these nonsensical, one sentence, grammatically incorrect sentences from people we can't confirm are really the people we believe them to be.
I don't have twitter and have never even been to the website, but I'm not a fan.
