It ’s been a few months since those stories broke , but that does n’t mean Twitter is out of the woods — in fact , it still seems to be forthright stuck there , blindly lam around as it seek to find some moss to direct it back to civilization . This calendar week , for instance , the following nugget of newsworthiness pop out up :
