By The Guardian, with this delicious story ...For those who lack time to click the link, the
SMH summarises it thusly:
In the UK, newspaper The Guardian announced it would become the first newspaper to be published exclusively via micro-blogging service, Twitter.
"Experts say any story can be told in 140 characters," the paper said.
"A mammoth project is also under way to rewrite the whole of the newspaper's archive, stretching back to 1821, in the form of tweets.
"Major stories already completed include '1832 Reform Act gives voting rights to one in five adult males yay!!!'; 'OMG Hitler invades Poland, allies declare war see tinyurl.com/b5x6e for more'; and 'JFK assassin8d @ Dallas, def. heard second gunshot from grassy knoll WTF?'."
In actual Real World News, and I am not making this up, New Idea, an even lower-rent mag in the territory of OK and Hello, ran a cover story about the New Man in Bec Hewitt's Life!!!
Bec Hewitt is a former soapie star, now married to a famous tennis player. Chavtastic the pair of them, but basically harmless. Bec, it must be mentioned, is the 'public face' of New Idea. The story has many photos of Bec out and about with a handsome young man who is treated as theough he is one of the family and allowed free and unfettered access to her life and kids, acting as their father in their father's absence. Bec is clearly vey close to him, the writer slyly innuendoes.
As well she might be. It's her brother.
