The Atlantic Wire – Twitter founder Biz Stone just did a Twitter no no. He sent out a slew of spam-like Tweets to his followers asking if they’ll support Ed Lee for San Francisco mayor, noticed Gizmodo. “Biz Stone, one of Twitter’s founders and for a long time the public face of the company, just spewed hundreds of tweets asking people to endorse Ed Lee for mayor on Votizen. And while Twitter is a politically active company, and Ed Lee has a pretty dope mustache, we’re pretty sure this was a bot-made accident.” While Gizmodo reports “hundreds,” we only see about a couple dozen. But the recipients include some big names like Kanye West and Katie Couric. Gizmodo pegged it as a spambot, but it turns out Stone just “clicked the wrong button,” according to his Twitter. “Oops, I clicked the wrong button on Votizen. Sorry folks!”
