When Good Tweets Go Bad

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

Anyone watching Appy’s Twitter stream on Saturday afternoon would have been both fortunate and unfortunate to see this blast of nonsense: Fortunate … because this would have given you a sneak peak at our next game — FaceFighter Gold (and more about that later this week!).
