This Just In from The Land Of Sheeple

But Technogeek Sheeple.

H/T to Shot's on The House blogpost about the Columbus, Ohio Tea Party--which is difficult for a dyed-in-the-wool Michigander to say, let me tell you--we find this story from San Fran--posted in a newspaper in Formerly Great Britain--about some technogeek journalist who, on realizing some"random dude" had broken into his home, Twittered all his friends about What To Do?
Mr Prager, an online technology writer and web video star for internet television station Revision3, immediately posted the event onto social website Twitter.

“Maybe I should lock my door - I swear a random dude just walked into my bathroom and I can't believe I haven't freaked out”

He continued to post updates as he wondered how to react.

“I can't believe I'm tweeting about it while he is still in there.”

Mr Prager then took advice from online followers on what to do about the man in his bathroom, who he described as a combination of “hobo and drunk and sleepwalking dude.”

“Should I call the cops like you guys have recommended? Find a blunt object before opening the door? My gut tells me he's harmless.”

As he debated his next step he was able to set up a live internet video stream so followers could watch as he entered the room to confront the intruder.
