andym carpal tunnel Registered: 17/01/2002 Posts: 3995 Loc: Manchester UK	The Guardian abandons print for twitter: http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/2009/apr/01/guardian-twitter-media-technology "JFK assassin8d @ Dallas, def. heard second gunshot from grassy knoll WTF?" From the same article: 'At a time of unprecedented challenge for all print media, many publications have rushed to embrace social networking technologies. Most now offer Twitter feeds of major breaking news headlines, while the Daily Mail recently pioneered an iPhone application providing users with a one-click facility for reporting suspicious behaviour by migrants or gays.' Few more here: http://www.guardian.co.uk/media/organgrinder/2009/apr/01/newspapers-dailymail _________________________ Cheers, Andy M

It would be pretty neat tho and I'm surprised nobody else has ever done it to be honest.
