Wikileaks' Only 'Friend' is a Massachusetts Startup

For investigative journalism non-profit Wikileaks, whose publication of classified diplomatic documents triggered cries for the blood of founder Julian Assange, friends are hard to come by. Except on Twitter.

Wikileaks follows, or ‘friends’ only one account on Twitter, and that’s TweetBackup, a company that provides backup storage for Twitter accounts. The service requires that users follow them on Twitter for the service to function.

TweetBackup is actually Swedish, but it was purchased by Cambridge, Mass.-based Backupify in November.
