Twitter Glitch.. private tweets not so private!

Looks like there's a bit of an issue for Twitter users who choose to privatise their tweets.. The L.A. Times has revealed that by just typing "site:twitter.com/*username*" (replacing *username* with the Twitter name of a protected account), you can actually see most or all of the tweets the user has chosen to protect. For those who are sending sensitive information or potentially damaging opinions from their account, beware!! Interesting insights though if you're a nosy bastard like me though and fancy a bit of a snoop before they create a patch fix... 



Here's a sample of our lovely Bill Clinton's tweets... some juicy stuff I do say!
