A little late jumping on the bandwagon

This story from popbitch makes me want to join Twitter...

Crazy Little Party Boy - Poor Aaron Carter's lost it

Since the passing of his dear friend Michael Jackson (who once bought him a Bentley), Aaron Carter seems to have gone into meltdown and is now determined to rid the world of disease and suffering.

He tweets:

2:46pm - THE FIRST THING I WANT TO DO IS HELP FIND A CURE FOR AIDS!

2.47pm - I WILL SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE SEARCHING FOR ANSWER'S FOR MANY DIFFERENT REASON'S,THERE IS A LUPUS WALK IN NEW YORK THAT I WILL START WITH

2.50pm - I HEARD ONE OF THE JONAS BROTHER'S HAS DIABETES AND ONE OF THEM WENT TO THE GOVERMENT TO VOICE HIS OPINION... NOW THAT'S WHAT I MEAN! :)

3.06pm - STOP TELLING ME WHAT TO DO! I WRITE IN CAPS FOR A SPECIFIC AUTISTIC PERSON! LEAVE IT ALONE! I WILL NOT CHANGE FOR ANYONE

AIDS, lupus, diabetes and autism. All in 20 minutes.


"There's something that I've got to say, you're always with me even though you're far away"
Aaron Carter, I'm All About You

London is all a Twitter

I promise this is not going to turn into a political blog, because that would just start a whole new debate at family gatherings.

However, the G20 summit is providing me with more laughs - The Guardian have reporters on the scene writing Twitter alerts about what is going on.

FYI, "Twitter is a social networking and micro-blogging service that enables its users to send and read other users' updates known as tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters in length."

Some of my favourite G20 Tweets...

We have a cunning plan we shall approach the city not together but in dribs and drabs i am a drab

(Russell) Brand puts his scarf around his face to stop the media focusing on him, which only encourages them more. Is he an anarchist? Who knows

Is this the mildest placard? 'Bring on decent decision making.'

Man dresssed as Death (real name Harry) giving interview about need to regulate financial institutions

Two eggs, an apple and tangerine lobbed at police. Someone on the royal exhange clock...

Guitars are out

Whole street now occupied lots of kissing dancing wayhay

And some pink milk shake thrown, and landed in my hair - tnks. Mood unruly but not violent.

Billy bragg sings the internationale from the steps of the bank of england. "Come brothers and sisters for the struggle carries on..."

First tents up here comes the samba band party starts

The trio of french bankers in levis on the next table are sticking into oysters. Waiter says it is busier than usual, they have all come for the riots. It is like apocalypse now, but with decent food.

I'm at the front, tho at a safe-ish distance. People are packed in, getting hurt. someone just said it feels like glasto without the drugs.

"This is the worst festival i've ever been to" quips one man as we are squeezed round a corner by a police line

Cancel all of my meetings this afternoon, because I am going to be stuck like glue to this Twitter!
