I think it´s very strange that twitter cannot follow up with the development that facebook is having, is so a shame

Hi Emily, nice blog!
Insomnia’s a great outfit & I think Bobby is our answer to Richard Branson in terms of PR profile & mileage!
btw, also a big WordPress fan!

My favourite part is about the emphasis on “professional” hacking; like it’s an industry.
“Hey, IT grad, what was your specialty?”
“Me? Hacking. I got my certification in ’07. Damn, reminds me I need to recertify next year….”

BTW actually 4000 unique IDs were NOT collected… it was 2,000 as Kevin Doyle later corrected this statement.

Watching Enda Kenny try to learn the ropes of PR and self promotion and political promotion is painful. Not that it’s a game that I approve of, particularly in the political arena (and also particularly in view of how Fianna Fail and their business buddies have spun things to us through such devices the last decade or two). What a gimp.

4000 unique IDs were leaked to the papers
2000 comments were published

Therefore at least 2000 were not, more if some who were published made multiple comments, yep that is censorship in action and we know thanks to wikileaks

the asking for input and only showing you what they approve of in policy is a bad move…

but we have seen this before…

Hi Emily,

As a once political student I too have become tired and extremely cycnical of Irish politics, however I do welcome this initiative and hopefully more initiatives such as this will follow.FG have put their faith in some youth and maybe this initiative wasnt executed as well as it could have been but who would possibly have expected anyone would be bored enough or even bother to hack into the FG website.

Also does nobody else feel this thing has been blown out of all proportion. How is it getting equal footing in National Press as Cowen and Seanie Fitz love-ins 2 months prior to our Banking collapse, its 2000 email addresses, most of which are prob FG email addresses anyway, its not €200 Billion.

Anyway the fact is FG will form all or part-of the next government and hopefully the backlash over their website being hacked and private information being stolen from them by cyber criminals(unlike certain banks that managed to loose laptops containing 200,000 names and credit card details)will not hinder new and innovative ways to engage the Irish elecorate in the 21st century.

Rant over.

Hi Ivan Answer
I don’t know comments were altered or removed, as I said that is the claim of the hackers group according to Kevin Doyle the Evening Herald reporter I was listening to this morning.
I totally agree with you that such an initiative should be welcomed but only if it is a genuine attempt to give people a voice.
Maybe I’m overly cynical about it, but in my opinion, that’s not what this is.
Thanks for the comment.
