I did my usual spot talking about the stories being talked about on the internet, then stayed around to be on the panel for Technology Unplugged. The other guests were Hermione Way and Ollie Mann.

Talking about internets and stuff as usual. Here's a link to it if you'd like to see it. You'd like to see it wouldn;t you! It's REALLY INTERESTING! AMAZING IN FACT!

Fox Business News played a clip of our Bagger 288 song on Saturday - I've dug out a clip! Yays!

On Friday me and Jacqui went down to the FOX News studio in London to do a rendition of the Cow Song! It was wonderful! I played the ukulele. They were so very very lovely to us! We had a thoroughly wonderful time! Hoorays! Here it is!

I did my spot on Sky News again last night. In the event, the House Of Commons were 17 minutes late getting their vote in on whether to hold the enquiry on the Iraq War in public or private, and this pushed me into the ad break, meaning my bit was only viewable online. Hey-ho. It was still fun - you can see it here.

Another interesting thing to see was the struggle with Twitter and how to use it in the news reports. Sky have appointed a Twitter Correspondent, who was talking specifically about the information coming out of Iran on Twitter. The reporting was careful to point out that this information is unverifiable, but it was interesting to see how much time is being devoted to this stream of information.

The journalist tasked with reporting on the Iran crisis was really not happy with the idea of using twitter as a source. In his opinion, the kosher news agencies are reporting the best information available (on that day that most people had been forced off the streets and skirmishes had been sporadic) while the twitter users are telling tall tales of massacres in the streets in order to advance their agenda. Interesting.
