Twittering twit

Imagine the scene; you're alone in your flat in San Francisco and someone walks in through an open door and starts wandering around your apartment.

Do you call the police, confront the intruder, cower under the bed or run away? One journalist over here, David Prager, did none of those things, he started tweeting.

After 14 tweets and the intruder having fallen asleep on his bed Prager then set up a video feed on the guy using ustream and it's become something of an internet hit for the day.

Is this a tale of Silicon Valley folk who need to get a sense of perspective? It could be, but doubts remain. To be honest this whole thing smells like a publicity stunt to me.
