The Guardian is moving entirely to Twitter. "Sceptics have expressed concerns that 140 characters may be insufficient to capture the full breadth of meaningful human activity, but social media experts say the spread of Twitter encourages brevity, and that it ought to be possible to convey the gist of any message in a tweet."

The Stone Roses are set to reform. It's almost 20 years since they released their extremely fine album creatively titled
The Stone Roses. The
band that was a big part of the
Madchester movement have been bumping into each other at Manchester United games and no doubt seeing the money that the footballers are making decided it was time to regroup. The rumours are not certain, but some say it is
75 percent likely and media reports
everywhere indicates it is probably happening.

Fool's World Map: "This is a project visualizing the world map which many fools in the world imagine. If you can see this map comfortably, you are definitely a fool." The creator
updates and reformats the malleable map based completely on capricious, erroneous geographical inconsistencies found within oblvious statements from his comment logs. Examples: (
095. Upper right side of Germany became Australia due to a posting by another stupid American thinking "Australia is beside Germany.") and
(001. Due to a Texan who thinks "Japan is accessible from Texas by car", Japan and Texas is land-attached."). He also has a
page of user-submitted maps, where he encourages you to create your own global eyesore and send it to him.
