Twitter and The International Burn A Koran Day

On Sep­tem­ber 11, the Washing­ton Post clai­med that Rev. Terry Jones kic­ked off the cam­paign for his Inter­na­tio­nal Burn A Koran Day on July 12 on Twit­ter. When I began researching the claims in the article, I found errors and holes, as this post docu­ments. The post was deve­lo­ped on Sto­rify, a plat­form that extends the con­cept of Pos­te­rous, making it very easy to pull snip­pets of infor­ma­tion from the web and pull them into (one hopes) a cohe­rent whole.
