The first came from Texas based TechRadium who built mass notification systems for public safety organizations, the military, and utilities.
On November 13, Twitter were targeted again by Cooper Industries Plc, a Florida based company who are throwing an injunction at Twitter, ordering them to shut down the site until they pay for a license to use “Cooper Notification“, a product of the company’s.
