ABC News — Video: Biz Stone, Co-Founder Twitter, Here’s What Happen The true story….
Twitter, Facebook, LiveJournal, Google Blogger and other Web sites were hobbled Thursday — Twitter was completely down for many users — and it all appears to have been because of a coordinated online attack on one political blogger in the Republic of Georgia.
Twitter users are unable to send messages on the social networking site.
The man called himself “Cyxymu.” ABC News tracked him down in Tblisi, Georgia, and spoke to him by phone.
He said he is a 34-year-old economics professor named Georgy (he wouldn’t give his last name), a married father of two. He said he is a refugee from Abkhazia, a region of Georgia that declared its independence in 1991 after the breakup of the Soviet Union, but is recognized by only a few of the world’s governments.
Georgy said he started a blog on the LiveJournal site to unite fellow refugees who would like Abkhazia to recognize Georgia’s authority over it. Last summer, Georgia and Russia went to war with each other, and Georgy started criticizing Russia — which recognized his homeland’s independence — online.
