Is Twitter an ISP?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Twitter is website that contains "links to" the other 5 websites. Those "links to other sites" are really links to Twitter scripts that do database queries before finally linking to the other sites for real. It is easy for elmo to insert delays in the process.
