Following on from my blog post in February ‘The power of Twitter is unbelievable’, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has prosecuted Paul Chambers for his ‘joke’ tweet:

“Robin Hood airport is closed, You’ve got a week and a bit to get your shit together, otherwise I’m blowing the airport sky high!!”

Rightly or wrongly this simple outage has cost Chambers his job and caused much stress for himself as well as his family. Although support from the Twitter world has flooded in and offers to pay his legal fees, Paul is unsure whether to take people up on their kind offers.

Celebrities such as Stephen Fry and Jonathan Ross are amongst those who have sent their wishes of support.

This just shows, the Twitter world is truly unique and takes communication to a new level, bringing people together and uniting a worldwide community.
