Lacey is one funny, funny woman.
It was a great comeback from the USA team, to be fair. And they probably should’ve won the game in the end, as I didn’t see anything wrong with the disallowed “third” goal. At least the World Cup has finally got into its stride.
Kapi thinks that we need help. I think that everyone should come join us.

It’s actually really interesting (for sad people like me) that Tower Bridge opens and closes about twice a day on average. I would’ve thought that it’s a much rarer occurence. Keep up with the ups and downs (heh) on its Twitter.

Thankfully, many people have reacted to today’s media attacks on Nick Clegg by aping the media’s tendency to blame the most spuriously-linked events to their current target. The #nickcleggsfault meme on Twitter makes for some funny reading right now. @urbancyclist Nick Clegg was seen two weeks ago poking Eyjafjallajokull with a stick #nickcleggsfault @nickalder so full after my sandwich #nickcleggsfault Oh, and the Daily Mail O-Matic has changed to an election special, with every headline Clegg-related! If I weren’t at work, I’d mock up a Daily Mail front page with the headline “Voting Lib Dem gives you cancer!”.
This kind of headline makes me think that we’re living in THE FUTURE!!!, today.
We're so very different, you and I

Channel 4 News isn’t done yet with its crowdsourcing…
Kickass! Gawker used one of my tips for a story!
See the bit about Channel 4 News in the middle of this article? That tipster is me!
To be absolutely fair to Channel 4 News, it definitely is the best TV news in Britain, by a long, long way. And it is unfortunately having its budget slimmed, resulting in the axing of a couple of its bulletins.
Their Twitter feed is usually pretty good, but they have a tendency to crowd-source. A lot. Probably their worst mistake is to constantly say things like “We have so-and-so on tonight. What should we ask him? Send your Qs to…”.
Hopefully this is just constructive criticism, because C4 News is genuinely a good news show, and they’re making an effort to use new technology as further means of communication.
