<p>After announcing $1.1 million in venture capital investments, once Central Pennsylvania-based <a href="http://cotweet.com/">CoTweet</a> is moving to San Francisco, <a href="http://blogs.wsj.com/digits/2009/07/09/real-time-startup-cotweet-raises-real-money/">according to the Wall Street Journal</a>.</p>
<p>The company, which develops a web-based application for Twitter that allows businesses to assign multiple team members to control commercial accounts, received funding from West Conshohocken-based <a href="http://technicallyphilly.com/tag/first-round-capital">First Round Capital</a> and a handful of other non-Philly firms. [<em><strong>Full Disclosure</strong>: Technically Philly uses CoTweet for forward-dated Twitter posts</em>]</p>
<p>According to <a href="http://cotweet.com/jobs">two job openings</a> recently added to the company&#8217;s internal job board, the company is headed for the <a href="http://www.sfgate.com/neighborhoods/sf/soma/">SoMa neighborhood</a> of downtown San Francisco, an area well-known for its roots in the dot com boom.</p>
<p>CoTweet executives are in the process of packing their bags, according to <a href="http://twitter.com//status/"><strong></strong> tweeted:</a><blockquote></blockquote> from company co-founders.<br />
<span id="more-4658"></span><br />
The company could not be reached for comment.</p>
<p>Last week, CoTweet received attention when TechCrunch reported that the company was eyed by Twitter as an &#8220;acquisition target&#8221; <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/07/16/twitters-internal-strategy-laid-bare-to-be-the-pulse-of-the-planet/">in confidential leaked documents</a>.</p>
<p>Details emerged after the publication <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/07/14/in-our-inbox-hundreds-of-confidential-twitter-documents/">acquired hundreds of corporate and personal documents</a> of Twitter employees from a French hacker known as &#8220;Hacker Croll.&#8221;</p>
<p>According to the documents, Twitter was exploring commercial account opportunities and was possibly considering acquiring CoTweet. Twitter also considered other options, like partnering with or contracting the company.</p>
<p>The hacker who obtained the documents used a series of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_engineering_(security)">social engineering</a> tactics to infiltrate a number of Twitter employees personal accounts that included Gmail, Google Apps, GoDaddy, MobileMe, AT&amp;T, Amazon, Hotmail, PayPal and iTunes, <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2009/07/19/the-anatomy-of-the-twitter-attack/">according to an extensive and fascinating background piece written by TechCrunch</a>.</p>
