Remember when just about every government employee was carrying around a BlackBerry device for official business?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

That's different. They had signed contacts and were legally obligated to provide service. Twitter is a free service that can be turned off at any time, with no notice, and is run by a schizophrenic twat with a god complex. It's just monumentally stupid to put lives on the line through a service like that.
