Early this week, a lost prototype iPhone that was purchased by technology blog Gizmodo dominated the tech news as told by Twitter.
Although many tweets focused on the “wow” factor of the discovery, Brian Kirchoff, a DC-based technologist, summed up the feelings of some critics of Gizmodo, tweeting that if he ever lost a child at the mall, he hopes “that it’s not Gizmodo that stumbles across them first.”
