Hi all,
So, Britain's biggest selling newspaper, The Sun, ran a feature on "Twitter across the globe" today... And who gets a mention? 16 year old Internet Entrepreneur -- and fellow Warrior -- Stanley Tang. Woot! Nice one, Stanley. I'll be interested to see how many extra followers you get from the free publicity. ![]() Steve |

Hi Steven,
lol@Harvey Do you have a link to the online story? I can't find it by searching the Sun? All I can find is - Quote:

Steve hope it wasn't on page 3, but a link would be good.

I read it this morning! It is a Twitter piece on some of the most followed people. Coldplay had the most followers on there list with followers of 1.1million I think! I didn't realise there was a warrior within the piece.
I am not sure where there would be a link as it wasn't a big article?? So not sure if it will be on the site?? GoGetta |

Hi,
You've gotta love The Sun's audacious, blatant hypocrisy. Quote:
![]() Yes and we know someone else who fits that description, don't we Mr. Black Pot - delving into the banal details of celebrities/politicians/reality TV idiot's lives. Oh well, in fairness to The Sun, Twitter doesn't double up as excellent packing for inside parcels, or as a good firelighting aid. | |

"TWITTER is often dismissed as a frivolous waste of time. Some say it serves no purpose other than to allow people to bore the world with the banal details of their lives."
I wonder whether the Iran protests will make Twitter, just as Tianamen massacre made CNN almost exactly 20 years ago. |
