Actually, it's quite easy to direct it to a specific person on Twitter via Yfrog. You just include the @UserName in the message portion of the email, and bam, the tweet is sent and directed to that person. Easy peasy. Too easy, unfortunately.
I've been reading a few sites discussing the Yfrog hack, but still haven't found one detailing how the tweet would appear to originate from one person and be
to another by using the Yfrog hack. All of them verify that a third party can send an image to Yfrog with the correct email address string and it'll show up on that persons Yfrog *and* on that persons twitter (which is frankly silly for twitter to allow an image hosting service to do btw), but my understanding is that the tweet appeared to be a public message from Wiener to a specific female which was visible to many other people as well.
Is there some source detailing how to cause that to happen? Again, I'm not saying that it didn't, just that I haven't seen more than parts of an explanation about how it could have.
