EU Summit Twitter Wall Trial Goes Awry As Berlusconi Bashers Flood #EUCO Stream

Using Tweetwall Pro, a way for event organizers to feed live tweets onto screens, an experiment in
the atrium of the EU summit building in Brussels held yesterday didn't quite proceed as planned. The live tweet stream, which was displayed on multiple plasma TVs throughout the building, was abruptly shut down after Italian Twitter users hijacked the #euco stream with anti-Berlusconi messages, calling the politician a mafioso and a pedophile.
