For many, the social media has become a great leveler in how much they own that space and the freedom to use it the way they want. While hugely empowering, social media is equally dangerous in its power. As Congress' most popular Twitter mantri, Shashi Tharoor, who has over two million followers, found out the hard way today - he claimed his Twitter account was hacked. Will the controversy over a tweet war involving his wife and Pakistani journalist Mehr Tarar turn out to be a political embarrassment for Mr Tharoor?
