In this movie, Angelina Jolie plays a woman that gets called for jury duty. The man on trial has pleaded guilty, so all that remains is the sentencing. The jury deliberates, all the while getting to know each other and exchanging their Facebook and Twitter information. The sentence they hand down is twenty years without the possibility of parole.
A few years pass. Jolie keeps in contact with a few of the members, and also remains friends with the rest through social networking online. One day she gets a Facebook message from one of her fellow jury members with a link to a news story. The man they sentenced to prison has escaped!
At first she doesn't think much of it. The police will catch him, she thinks. During this time she gains a few followers on Twitter as well as a few new friends on Facebook. This is nothing new. What she doesn't know is one of her new followers is the man she helped send to jail. Then, on the 3rd day after learning of his escape, she gets a message from the husband of the juror that sent her the story. She's dead. A car accident. Was this pure coincidence or something sinister?
Angelina meets with her few juror friends she has kept in close contact with. They have lunch and discuss the possibility of the man tracking down and killing them one by one. During that lunch, they all receive text messages with the same link. It takes them to a newspaper article about the man they put in prison. It includes information they were not aware of at the time of the trial, like how his IQ is genius level and how he is also mentally unstable. They leave their lunch scared for their lives.
As the movie moves on, we see the man planning his kills with startling efficiency, all thanks to the information he's able to gather from Facebook and Twitter. By following and friending the jurors, he takes them out one at a time. Our group of internet savvy juror friends see updates come through their feeds about the deaths, and come to realize that their lives are in grave danger. This continues until only the 3 of them remain.
A trip to the police station ends in them staying at Jolie's house (she has a big 4 bedroom monster of a house even though she's single and doesn't seem to have a job) with a police car sitting outside guarding them. As the night wears on and they monitor their profiles, they get sleepy and end up passing out in the living room, laptops open and cell phones off the chargers.
They are startled awake by their phones receiving messages from Facebook. They each open the message to see the same picture. The outside of Jolie's house! One of them attempts to call the policeman in the car outside (he was hitting on her while he gave her his number), another message comes in, this time via Twitter and Twitpic. It's of the officer she's trying to call. He's been shot in the head!
Screams ensue.
The group runs up stairs and barricades themselves in Angelina's huge master bedroom. They grab makeshift weapons like a candelabra and letter opener. Tense moments pass. They only have Angelina's phone with them and the battery is almost dead. As they refresh Facebook and Twitter, one more picture pops up. It's of her bedroom door. Then the battery dies, leaving them to tremble in fear.
He busts down the door and attacks them. He's able to wound the two friends, leaving Jolie alone to fight for her life. The fight ends with him flying out the second story window and landing on a lawn jockey. Jolie looks out the window at the grizzly scene and says "Consider yourself unfollowed, bitch."
Fin.

@Phoenix8424 and I got to spend a little time playing the beta yesterday. We tore it up in there, getting some good kills and flag captures. Check out the screenshots below.
