I don't understand how he thought hi-jacking Obama, Britney and Fox News twitter accounts wouldn't make headlines.

He was hijacking a random account on some totally unknown site called twitter.

I know this is hard to grasp outside the valley, but most people have not ever heard about twitter and will probably assume it's about as important to the internet as zombo.com.

Actually CNN mentions Twitter quite often and especially during the elections a lot of people started hearing of Twitter way outside of the valley. If my parents learned about Twitter from watching TV I assume it's a safe bet that many other people have as well.

The last sentence of the article:

   "He said he'd never even heard of Twitter until he saw someone mention it on YouTube. "
