Anthony Weiner, announcing for mayor, still doesn't get the internet

After being brought down over the pics he sent, it is kind of ironic that his announcing for mayor got botched. Someone over there should really try to understand about when things can and can't be seen, and by whom...

The campaign video was apparently posted prematurely. Although Mr. Weiner was expected to declare his candidacy on Wednesday, the video went up in the middle of the night, and then for a time disappeared from the candidate’s YouTube page and his campaign Web site.

By sunrise, the campaign Web site had been updated, with the video displayed prominently and an orange-and-blue header reading “Weiner for Mayor.” However, on some mobile devices, users continued to see outdated content associated with Mr. Weiner’s Congressional campaign, and even the newer version of the site still included a link to a Facebook page that had not been updated in two years.
