support copyright freedoms in New Zeland
Join The New Zealand Internet Blackout to protest against the Guilt Upon Accusation law ‘Section 92A’ that calls for internet disconnection based on accusations of copyright infringement without a trial and without any evidence held up to court scrutiny.

Join thousands of New Zealanders already against this law by blacking out your Facebook photo, your websites, your Myspace pages, your Twitter account, in protest against this unjust new law that may come into effect on February 28.
Mosquito: Most animal mating rituals involve a guy trying to impress a girl. Leave it to the lowly mosquito to rescue equality among the sexes: their song.

Overall, Twitter users engage with news and own technology at the same rates as other internet users, but the ways in which they use the technology – to communicate, gather and share information – reveals their affinity for mobile, untethered and social opportunities for interaction. Moreover, Twitter as an application allows for and enhances these opportunities, so it is not so surprising that users would engage in these kinds of activities and also be drawn to an online application that expands those opportunities.
Of course there is no right way or wrong way to use Twitter: it’s about Twitter using you! This, like Facebook, is just another vehicle to gather information about individuals and distill them into a list of marketable categories.
