Not the Daily Mail (Thank God)

Have been getting back into Twitter a bit lately, partuclarly fascinated by the fact that high profile personalities are using it, and intrigued if they really understand the ethos of this social media lark. Will report on findings here in due course.

In the meantime, I must say that I'm highly amused by the user 'Notdailymail_uk' (changed from 'dailymail_uk' at the request of said paper's lawyers). It's a cliche these days, but I've hated this paper and resented the hold that it's venomous bile has over middle England for years. Some of the posts on this spoof page are quite hilarious, and 'twits' are not actually that removed from what you might expect of the official paper's own Twitter feed (yes it's on there). Supposedly, Twitter consents to spoof/parodic pages, so long as the parody is clearly recognisable, but they bowed to the Mail's lawyers in this case.
