NPR's Andy Carvin Uses Twitter to Debunk a Hoax | Twitter Developers - 2011-06-06 - 0 views

  •  
    "A blogger claiming to be "A Gay Girl in Damascus" attracted a lot of online attention. But when she was reported kidnapped, some journalists became suspicious. From Carvin's Storify of the incident: Around this time I received a Twitter direct message from @DannySeesIt, a Syrian I've known since the Egyptian revolution. He's given me permission to publish the text of his DM: "I'm asking about that today most of the day and I have some solid connection in the lesbian scene in Damascus. No one knows her." Danny's comment struck me as odd, especially based on all the people I knew who were vouching for her online. I replied to him: I have from a good source that she is indeed real. We'll see, though. (...) Andy Carvin ✔ @acarvin And we have a confession: Tom MacMaster is #Amina! http://bit.ly/lLIY83 9:17 PM - 12 Jun 2011 (...) Andy Carvin ✔ @acarvin If we could only calculate the sheer number of hours we spent this week on #Amina, each one of which was an hour spent not on Syria itself. 9:28 PM - 12 Jun 2011"

    Biochemistry is complicated. I've been assigned a paper on a topic I don't understand at all. How can I implement it without knowledge?

    At the end of that year, I needed to prepare a report on biochemistry. Need I say that I understood nothing about it? I found this website to help me with it. The team completed my task on time and did it very well. In addition, their prices are quite reasonable. So I think that they will be able to help you.
