19:04 It was new moon about 20 minutes ago, so I can now wish everyone a Happy Chinese New Year. Kung hei fat choi! #
15:51 Bye bye Serena. #ausopen #
14:43 Why have I become so apathetic towards the #NFL? #
13:45 Looks like Andy remains British for another day or so. #ausopen #
13:36 Tomorrow's Oz front page: Gillard speaks Chinese, on defensive against Rudd. #auspol MT @JuliaGillard: Kung hei fat choi! #
13:07 Of course, with Andy Murray playing the flag issue is complex. Ch7 would need a Union Jack that morphs into the Scottish Saltire as he loses #
12:57 Oh poo. Neither player has an Aussie flag next to his name. I guess that means I must switch off channel 7 then. #ausopen #flagsforall #
06:58 Kung hei fat choi! #

20:24 Will My Kitchen Rules post the state flags for each team once the series begins? #7tennis #mkr #flagsforall #
18:22 @AusWomensGame the ABC's been bloody good to the #wleague when no one else has. Todays coverage is frustrating but "ABC sucks" rants are OTT #
17:32 I wonder what the ABC would have done if there was no cricket and they'd shown the #wleague live. Crossed to an arts program at 5 probably. #
16:34 @dg79 I can live with the player profiles it's the ABC's comic interludes that are a massive #fail. #
15:57 Yes. Good. RT @lesmurraySBS: W League semi gets 1hr delayed highlights on the ABC. Live coverage of women's T20 cricket gets precedence. #
08:55 Exclusive photo reveals the Coca-Cola Company's support for the Greens. #auspol http://t.co/Qyit8KDN #
08:37 Is it true that the Sunday Telegraph's Australia Day bucket hats are Made In China? I, for one, welcome our colonial overlords... #
08:14 What's with Robbie Slater's diatribe in the Sunday Murdoch? Shouldn't he save this for the tell-all memoirs in next year's remainder bin? #
00:30 Yes it did. RT @guardiantech: Wikipedia blackout pushes traffic to mobile site http://t.co/LxRAk4ry #

23:41 Something's wrong here. Saturday night and there are still two Australians left in the Australian Open. #
16:38 @neerav found it. Melbourne Stars even set up a facebook page for it: http://t.co/cE3PBYIS #
15:27 WE DON'T CARE. RT @warne888: Is it fair that my family have banned me from wearing budgie smugglers or should they make a glourious comeback #
15:18 Andrew Wilkie painted himself into a corner. Let him now be remembered as the bloke who became an MP with 21% of the primary vote. #auspol #
14:24 When can we expect "Which 7 commentator would you like to see in a mankini"? RT @AustralianOpen: The #tennisheartthrobs poll is closed. #
11:27 I wonder how Weekend Two of the Sydney Harbour Bridge maintenance is going. #
11:22 Ok that be heavy rain. #
10:45 So the view from my southwest-facing window is innocuous cloudiness while the apocalypse is happening to my north west? #
10:23 Am I hearing thunder? Cloud cover doesn't look that sinister. #
09:09 Get ready! RT @willdurst: the 2012 barack obama state of the union drinking game. a guaranteed good time. http://t.co/kSwMyLl4 #

23:02 Crowd meter in decibels? Is that one of those meaningful stats like the length of sixes hit at cricket? #ausopen #
22:59 Impending jingoism alert. #ausopen #
22:56 Bangladesh Army foils bid to topple govt http://t.co/XTYrEb0h #
14:01 @harrypusspuss might encourage road rage though #
13:18 Of course I should get "Tony Abbott said WHAT???" saved as a template and re-use every other week as required. #auspol #
13:11 Tony Abbott said WHAT??? #costaconcordia #stoptheboats - http://t.co/tIpL140t" #
13:08 "Alcoholic drinks are part of the FIFA World Cup," FIFA Sec-Gen warns Brazil 2014 organisers. RT @TheWorldGame: http://t.co/nHGHQtRY #

21:11 Go the chap from the country with the all-black flag! #ausopen #7tennis #flagsforall #anyonebuthewitt #
16:22 Oh. Is the ABC not going to be in Hyde Park this Australia Day? @702sydney #
14:08 Err, no we all don't. MT @warne888: Also glad you all agree with me except for some very aggressive cyclists re rego #
10:54 en.m.wikipedia.org RT @InnerWestNews: How is everyone coping without Wikipedia? Do you think it's worth it? #
09:22 Though I wonder why Wikipedia chose Nick Drake for "Today's Featured Article" - http://t.co/dKC2DpsQ #
09:19 I love browsing Wikipedia's mobile site while the world continues its self-delusion that Wikipedia is off the air. #
09:12 #environment Good news as Obama rejects plans to build the Keystone pipeline. Though only for now. http://t.co/yJpQIw7E #
08:51 David The Pot Cameron accuses Argentine Kettle of colonialism - http://t.co/JKarHifj #
07:05 ROFL RT @FakeWikipedia: Gordon Ramsay lost his tastebuds in a childhood accident, and so relies on a guide dog to taste everything for him #
06:41 So to recap, I can't enter @AustralianOpen's Instagram competition but I can use Wikipedia. Is that what Mr Sheen called #winning? #galaxys2 #

23:55 ping @Kimbo_Ramplin RT @MediaweekAUS: Tue TV ratings: #Santos @tourdownunder late night highlights (Nine) 41k Live coverage coming Sat & Sun #
23:30 Wikipedia is inaccessible today through its mobile website. #factswithoutwikipedia #
20:55 en.m.wikipedia.org : What exactly is the fuss again? #
19:57 The account by @ourdonbradman of a road rage incident between Bill O'Reilly and Hubert Opperman surely qualifies as #factswithoutwikipedia #
17:52 Even though Wikipedia is still working if you know where to look, follow @FakeWikipedia which is much more informative. #
17:44 Wikipedia's mobile site seems alive and well with just a black SOPA message at the top of each page. #
16:38 Trying to imagine ch9 personality @warne888 as a commentator on the Tour Down Under... #
16:18 @Paddock_Bear I think it's only fair that Charlie should return to Hi5 now #
16:16 So, Wikipedia hasn't actually gone off the air... #
11:25 Greg Wiggle has been away for five years. Most of his fan base wouldn't remember him. #
11:19 This could be a huge mistake. RT @michaelidato: Original "Yellow" Wiggle Greg Page is returning to The Wiggles #
10:30 Great response by @firstoffthebike to @warne888's anti-cyclist tirade - http://t.co/gyzLHHzO #
10:11 That's nice. I still have both of my Orkut friends. #
10:02 Tweeting at #london2012 is ok, however... RT @GuidoFawkes: Bloggers and Tweeters to be Censored at Olympics: http://t.co/ngbyz8P5 #
09:51 Facebook is now more popular than Orkut in Brazil. See I knew Zuckerberg was on to something. http://t.co/YtUEKb4W #
09:46 @piawaugh my point precisely :) PS I'll get check out that Wikipedia link tomorrow #
09:41 What's Tetris? RT @piawaugh: Playing Tetris interferes with long term memory, scientifically proven apparently. Wow. That will be useful :) #

23:50 Oh. Channel Seven really are taking their #AusOpen coverage to a new low this year, aren't they? #
23:18 There is nothing wankier in professional sport than a tennis player autographing a TV camera lens. Especially a first round winner. #ausopen #
23:11 The New Zealander wins against his flagless foe! #7tennis #australianopen #flagsforall #flagsfornone #
22:20 I know my TV screen is a bit small, but why is the New Zealand flag alongside Lleyton Hewitt's name? #7tennis #
01:42 @AustralianOpen but not in time for the rest if the Australian Open :( Instagram is not the only photo-sharing sysyem by a long way #
01:37 @AustralianOpen a proud Android user :) Unfortunately Instagram hasn't released an Android version. Shutting out a lot of smartphone users. #
01:30 Instagram is an iPhone thingy alas MT @AustralianOpen: Today's #Tennisgram challenge – Instagram us a pic of where you're watching #AusOpen #

20:44 Ah yes, it's the opening night of channel 7's fortnight-long trailer for the 2012 ratings season. #7tennis #
19:38 Wow. #Wleague semi finals won't be live on ABC this Saturday. Reason? They're showing womens #cricket T20. (but the soccer will be streamed) #
19:02 Ni hao. We can't have a US president who speaks foreign languages. Mais non! #
18:12 @rdhinds I just hope with #flagsforall that we don't get an Aussie playing a Kiwi. #
17:20 Huntsman squashed, but the Newt is still at large. #
17:09 Of President The United States? Hey Yoda! MT @rupertmurdoch: Seems like universal anger with Optus from all sorts of normal supporters.... #
11:23 I'm no @morrison954 fan but his @MediaweekAUS podcast interview is fascinating and eye-opening - http://t.co/Eud2XW8J #
09:18 +1. RT @rupertmurdoch: Agree about cinema prices which out of our control - but even more offensive are prices for popcorn and sodas. #
08:57 There really is a lot of elevator music on the Wii. #
07:57 and the Capital City of Senegal car rally comes to an end in where else but the capital city of Peru - @NZStuffSport: http://t.co/mNA6cARq #

16:42 @neerav I'd say book online, you can print off your tickets and take them along. SCG won't sell out but you'll still have to queue for tix. #
15:57 So @warne888 what was the incident that started you off on this tirade about cyclists? #
10:23 Looking forward to this. MT @RL1908: from this Monday we will tweet live each day from year 1908, as events in RL unfolded. #
