Here’s a couple of thoughts I’ve had and haven’t read (or have missed) in the MSM about this whole mess.

1. Why did the recipient of the crotch-shot, Gennette Cordova, choose the New York Daily News for her response? It just seems weird to me that a woman from Seattle would pick the News out of all the available media outlets to make her statement, let alone even know about the Daily News.

But, if I were say a savvy New York City congressman, I’d probably suggest the News for such a statement over the New York Post, New York Times, Politico, Huffington Post, TPM, etc. For me, it’s the correct balance of New York City tabloid-ness and real reporting and perfect for such an announcement.

2. I tested sending a picture in a DM through YFrog and the picture does become public. I send a lot of tweets and never thought about this before as my iPhone’s Twitter app created the YFrog account for me and I never knew it existed. No lewd pictures for me, but it was still a surprise to see them there. So, if Weiner was hacked, why did he delete all of his pictures from his YFrog account and not just the lewd one?

3. Investigating Weiner’s Twitter activity can be rather easy. From a quick look at Weiner’s timeline, it looks like he posts from three platforms: Twitter for Blackberry, Tweetdeck, and via the web interface.

If Weiner was hacked, he’d have to change his password with all three platforms. There’s certainly an easily verifiable trail.

4. Weiner’s use of multiple platforms begs the question if any of the platforms were on a computer either owned by the Federal Government or containing sensitive information. Taking Weiner at his word, he was “hacked.” But there’s no concern that said “hacker” did anything other than post a picture of a skinny white guy in boxer-briefs?

More updates to follow, unfortunately.
