Good-bye Twitter

Why Miley Cyrus said Goodbye to Twitter ?
Teenage pop star Miley Cyrus has released a homemade rap video on Youtube explaining she wants to regain some sort of 'normal' private life.

I'm just noticing the video was uploaded on October 9, 2009 and we are 3 days later ... with over 2 million Youtube views.

She declared on her website "Twitter is not the only thing I am cutting back on. This is not an attack against this particular site, I just think kids all over the world could maybe take a little vacation from Cyberspace. My problem with the internet is it makes negativity so available. It allows people to anonymously hurt others without any consequences."

It's pretty relevant.
