Twitter Billboard leads to Epic FAIL
A TV station in Alabama is learning that live Twitter billboards sometimes deliver unintended consequences.
While we can't vouch for its authenticity, South Carolina-based blog The Palmetto Scoop claims a University of South Carolina graduate driving through Mobile, Alabama snapped the shot below and sent it in. The WPMI-TV billboard displays Tweets from the LOCAL15NEWS Twitter account, with this Tweet resulting in the juxtaposition.
The Billboard shows a picture of what I guess would be the three (as in 3) News Anchors on the left and on the right a live Tweet message which (at this time) says "3 Accused of Gang Rape in Monroeville".
Oops!
Go to the link and look at the billboard itself.
