Even before the internet, tweeting type messages did occur. In fact even during the pearl Harbor bombings there was a so called tweet that made it out warning about the impending bombs being dropped by the Japanese. Air raid on Pearl Harbor.
Gizmodo assumes that the message would have looked something like Air raid on Pearl Harbor. This is no drill. @JOINTCHIEFSOFSTAFF @CONGRESS @ROOSEVELT Please RT. #USNAVY #USAAF #USARMY #WAR .
Of course it was after this attack and so called tweet that we entered into World War 2 in one of our bloodiest and most intense wars of all history.
