I read the headline and thought that HR was literally watching Twitter while the internel jumbles were going on, and any employees tweeting about it were being fired. I thought "how innovative and terrible of HR." Turns out, the headline was just a bit weird.

I thought the same. Should probably read "AOL Is Shutting Down AOL Music And Spinner; Staff Live-Tweet the Whole Thing"
The fact that they didn't write it that way makes it seem like a deliberately misleading headline.
I suspect they just omitted a comma; it should have been "AOL Is Shutting Down AOL Music And Firing Staff, Who Are Live-Tweeting The Bloodbath".
