The end of Twitter was marked by a Humphies interview on R4's Today programme this morning announcing that it was the next big thing. Back in March of 2007 - a year and a half ago - I posted:

The end was nigh when I posted in July this year on Hazel Blears using it to launch a White Paper; perhaps the most inane thing I've ever seen on a government website.

Up to my eyes in work, but the serious posts will resume shortly as they say.
