23:19 Nothing Kevin Rudd could say in a video out-take should distract from the fact that he ate his own ear wax in the House of Representatives. #
21:55 Meanwhile, the Federal Government is getting on with the job of governing the country. #auspol #sideshow #sigh #
20:00 I am SO annoyed with myself about not knowing about the Shorty nominations till a day before they closed. They had been open since January 3 #
19:56 Now here's an opportunity lost for @KRuddMP, the Shorty #WorldLeader category http://t.co/OewjgLgT (nominations are now closed) #
19:54 I like this. @QPSMedia has figured in the Shorty Government nominations. Someone's taken the trouble to campaign http://t.co/0eCI1Y5P #
19:47 The leaderboard for the Shorty for best journalist on Twitter looks good, but so few votes http://t.co/U9wn9svd #
19:43 All subject to audit, but Kim Jae Joong led Mr Bieber, Ms Cyrus and Messrs Jedward for the @shortyaward #celebrity noms http://t.co/mUmCGo87 #
19:35 Irony alert: ABC1 is showing a program called New Tricks starring a middle-aged Dennis Waterman #
19:30 No, footy will be back once that stupid 9 point "supergoal" disappears. RT @AFL: Three words. One hashtag. FOOTY IS BACK! #NABCup #
19:28 +1 RT @jonkudelka: Sorry, but replacing words in titles is like planking. Its time has passed and we should never speak of it again. #
19:18 Tassie, here we come! #nrl MT @AlisterNicho: 11,400 crowd for @MelbStormRLC v Broncos at Nth Hobart. I'm shocked. #
16:12 Go Seabiscuit! #
15:50 Tony Abbott calls the Government dysfunctional, and although he provides no evidence of this, the media swallows it - http://t.co/kz4DBbzV #
14:34 Not bad, @TonyAbbottMHR. An impromptu #asktony on a Saturday afternoon when no one expects it. #auspol #
13:31 I must be in the Eastern Suburbs. There's a sale on Happy St Patrick's Day cards in the newsagents. #

23:01 Dennis Shanahan is the embodiment of everything bad about the Murdoch commentariat. #lateline #
22:36 #lateline time. #
21:41 Thanks to the Sri Lankan #cricket team, channel 9 is giving us a rerun of Alcatraz. #pass #
18:41 A new website for a new paradigm. RT @GrogsGamut: Ooooh the new APH website! http://t.co/E3O9M8vI #
16:48 I wonder if anyone's told @cosmicpinot that Friday night's #Lateline goes for 45 minutes, not 30... #guesttweeter #
13:55 On the subject of the @GWS_Giants song, I am barely old enough to remember "Guitcha Guiroff" by Frankie Davidson. Any similarities? #
13:50 @rdhinds I'll wait for the Nick Cave version of the GWS song. #
13:34 Noting that for future RT @CSIROnews We know you have been waiting for it. Friday Fish Time! Today Yellowbelly Flounder http://t.co/5c13iSYB #
12:13 Same here. RT @sspencer_63: I suspect part of the problem with Air Australia was marketing. 1st I knew it existed was when it no longer did. #
10:38 Yes. #auspol RT @sspencer_63: Barrie Cassidy exposes Rudd's denials, and puts it in a bit of perspective. Great stuff. http://t.co/C9Mybckc #
10:14 You know, if you sing the @GWS_Giants song slowly and mournfully it makes a really good dirge. #afl #
10:01 It doesn't. RT @JohnJohnsonson: #FF @AIRAUSTRALIA (in case it helps) #
09:27 I nominate @CricNSWBreakers for a Shorty Award in #sportsteams because they are great supporters of womens #cricket http://t.co/L4VFJhtz #
09:27 I nominate @CricketNSWBlues for a Shorty Award in #sportsteams because they actively promote a great #cricket team http://t.co/YRvC6F8n #
09:04 Ok so the fullblown #newnewtwitter has become unworkable on my desktop but I can still use mobile.twitter.com on it. #
08:37 Full credit to the @GWS_Giants and to Harry Angus for doing, shock horror, an original composition for their team song. #afl #

23:45 Missed #lateline tonight. Enjoyed reading back over @PeterLewisEMC's guest-tweets. Still think concept sucks. #
18:52 Sounds like the Essendon song played backwards MT @plalor: I love this sample of the new GWS song http://t.co/TTrZ36p0 #
17:36 "Someone Actually Had Heart Attack At Heart Attack Grill" - http://t.co/s5X8bLrr - But have investigators grilled anyone yet? #
13:29 Correction to an earlier tweet: the Nobel Prize-winning @cosmicpinot is #lateline's guest-tweeter tomorrow night (Friday), not tonight #
13:27 @cosmicpinot cheers, and all the best *tomorrow* night! #
13:25 Oh. So that abomination is actually the #NewNewTwitter. #
13:11 I suppose it's time I found out what all this Jeremy Lin fuss is about. #
13:02 Amazing lineup. RT @ProPublica: Over 25 people have been arrested in the Murdoch debacle. Here we put names to faces: http://t.co/MinvEikc #
13:01 @GrogsGamut yes. I had put it down to an unannounced conversion of my account to the "new twitter" #
12:59 I can now pronounce @twitter on its full web site worse than both Echofon and my Android app :( #
12:48 "twitter.com is loading slowly" on my desktop pc. Could to be to do with that "new twitter" it has just decided to change to? #
12:09 And online and social media. RT @NSWRL: NSWRL announce 2012 broadcast schedule details - New South Wales Rugby League: http://t.co/JUabb8Kt #
11:58 Oh dear. #nrl #redv RT @NZStuffSport: Dragons deny wrongdoing as wee row erupts http://t.co/JwwezMdn #
10:23 Tonight's #lateline guest-tweeter. RT @cosmicpinot: @rickeyre ok give us some tips. I going to need any help I can get #
10:22 .@cosmicpinot and 4. Don't misspell #lateline as Senator Hanson-Young did last night :) All the best tonight! #
10:20 .@cosmicpinot 3. If replying to someone put a dot in front if their name (as I've done here) so all your followers see the tweet. #lateline #
10:17 .@cosmicpinot 2. address every story or at least as many as practical - even the weather forecast if you're so inclined :) #lateline #
10:14 .@cosmicpinot my suggestions? 1. Tweet frequently (ie, every minute or so and not just 7-8 times in the half hour). #lateline #

23:24 Thankyou thankyou! RT @730reportland: Tonights #Lateline,Land `Clever-Viewer` `Gold-Medal` goes to @rickeyre #
23:13 No disrespect to any of the guest-tweeters this week so far but it's straight out of the "I Don't Get Social Media" manual. #lateline #
23:00 There can be only one good reason for a #lateline guest-tweeter: So that we can follow the show while watching the SBS news. #
22:46 Well it doesn't help when the #lateline guest-tweeter repeatedly spells the hashtag wrong. #lateine #
21:00 Sure. RT @TonyAbbottMHR: Private health insurance is an article of faith for us. We will restore the rebate in government as soon as we can. #
20:02 2/2 ... I believe all political #donations should become public knowledge ASAP, thereby placing donors under scrutiny from stakeholders. #
20:00 I have no problem with political #donations coming from corporations. Impose restrictions and they'll find ways to hurdle them. However 1/2 #
18:41 Not since I gave it up in 2004 :) RT @Tzarimas: Anyone else having trouble with Hotmail? #
15:30 I think Harry said that too. RT @erdemkoc: Does anyone else get annoyed when Slipper says: "The Honourable the Prime Minister" #auspol #qt #
13:17 @Ken_Sutcliffe I think it comes down to whether the fans want a late night with their families and later if they want to meet their premiers #
13:07 @Ken_Sutcliffe true, and good to see. But on Eddie's point, hasn't the NRL gone back from staging night grand finals? #
13:04 Tweet of the day RT @rupertmurdoch: @rupertmurdoch #
13:02 Breaking: Ch9 person agrees with another ch9 person. RT @Ken_Sutcliffe: Eddie McGuire is spot on about night AFL grand finals #
09:59 Bob sounds like he'd like to dig it out himself with his own bare hands. #nswpol RT @bobjcarr: Uranium Mining in NSW http://t.co/cwaCgAM7 #
09:03 Mine is avocado, but thank you for asking. MT @ABCRural: What's your preference? Butter or margarine. http://t.co/wzymrSbz #
08:07 Any wonder I won't watch your show. RT @sunriseon7: Now: Alan Jones and Richo. #Sun7 #AusPol #

23:26 Though to be fair, tonight's #lateline did not inspire meaningful discussion... #
23:24 So the guest-tweeter tweeted 13 times during tonight's #lateline, including 8 replies. It's only the first night but I can't see the point. #
23:19 I can't wait to read the transcript of that #lateline interview. Actually, I can. #
22:58 Uh oh guest-tweeter @turnbullmalcolm has been sidetracked into conversations with other tweeps which most people won't see. #lateline #
22:55 John Waters was The Bodyguard in the Libyan remake? Who played Whitney? #lateline #
22:53 #lateline Why is Emma Alberici interviewing John Waters? #
21:53 Robert Manne. I cannot watch #qanda. I'm still traumatised from watching Robert Manne and Gerard Henderson together on #lateline years ago. #
21:46 You are kidding, Radio Australia, surely. RT @RAPacific: #QandA starting now on Radio Australia's Pacific English stream. #
20:47 I'm watching #4corners on mute. Is it just 45 minutes of Kevin Rudd scowling? #
20:46 @mrtiedt Pity. I think Malcolm would enjoy this more. @latikambourke #
20:40 Is this the show Malcolm Turnbull is guest-tweeting? If not, why not? RT @latikambourke: Now watching #4Corners... #
18:16 Oh dear. RT @barneyronay: Aaron Ramsey link to Houston death. Not sure if this is a web spoof or a real news story http://t.co/r05n2agO #
16:34 The @SBSNews mobile web site appeard to be functional now. Looks good too! #
16:07 Oh please. Was that Advance Australia Fair I just heard as a ringtone? #
15:45 Do smartphones attract lightning? Or shall I find out the hard way? #
13:38 Tony Bennett and Amy Winehouse win a Grammy for best duo performance. I know I haven't heard said recording, but Really?? #grammys #
13:31 Betty White, Grammy Award winner. Surely her career is complete now. #grammys #
13:30 They may have cut down the categories from ~104 to 78 this year, but thank goodness we still have a Grammy for "Best Surround Sound Album" #
13:26 Excuse me, but how does "Band On The Run" by Paul McCartney win a Grammy for Best Historical Album? (or even qualify) #grammys #
12:46 Not quite ready yet, I see. MT @DatelineSBS: There's now a mobile version of the @SBSNews website http://t.co/Id4QPfhm #
10:44 30000 people watching Rugby Sevens in Nevada? RT @NZStuffSport: New Zealand lose Las Vegas final to Samoa http://t.co/RnPCeU0C #
09:46 Congratulations Zambia. #acn2012 #

18:30 Every time I watch #9newsat6 makes me think how much I miss Hendo and Wilkie. #
16:21 3 out of 11 kids into meltdown and a thunderstorm interrupting the bbq. Pretty good 9yo birthday party all up. #
13:02 Miss 8 is now Miss 9. See you on the other side of festivities. #
12:52 I'm always amazed by the obits that AP have at the ready. RT @nytimes: Whitney Houston, Singer and Actress, Dies at 48 http://t.co/xayct4gs #

22:53 9 :) RT @Drag0nista: Woo hoo - already 8 tweeps in our Toyota NRL Dream Team league. If you like to join us my league code is 730377. #
15:52 Just Say Neigh. #
15:03 Yay. RT @TennisAustralia: And it is done 62 62 62 in 86 minutes and the Aussies take an unbeatable 30 lead #daviscup #

23:21 Now with the cricket out of the way I shall watch #PlanetAmerica on that evil Optus TV Now. #
20:57 I just realised that I've never seen The Big Bang Theory. What's it about? #
16:07 Tonight, in two hours time, we will have breaking news about.... #9newsat6 #oxymoron #
12:53 Sorry @lateline but I totally fail to see the point of #latelinetweets. Even more so if TJ's not on the Twitter himself. #
12:29 Is Lana Del Rey a new breed of alpaca and if so will its fleece keep me warm in winter? #
12:27 Am I supposed to know who or what a Lana Del Rey is? #
12:17 As the rain stops, the sky clears and the sun reappears over Sydney, so the #NRL ends and the #ARLC is born. #
11:26 Hmm. Totally forgot about a doctor's appt this morning, which is unusual for me. Probably just as well as it's pouring outside. #
10:55 Just brilliant! RT @CSIROnews: Our Parkes Dish immortalised in #LEGO: http://t.co/j5H9T2gW ^SC #
10:38 Apparently that #daviscup Youtube stream is only available in Australia, but follow @TennisAustralia for match info #
10:36 Not on 7 or Fox Sports, but live on Youtube: #DavisCup Aus v China (via @googledownunder): - http://t.co/fsFw7BFC #tennis #
08:48 Next Friday I want Doc Evatt and Artie Fadden on the #partyline panel. More relevant than these two. @breakfastnews #abc1 #abc24 #
08:37 #abc1 showing Grumpy Old Men at 8.30am? Oh wait, it's Bob Carr and John Hewson on @breakfastnews #
08:35 Oh. Is it against the law to call it the #NRL now? #ARLC #
08:11 Modern technology at Henson Park, @newtownrlfc? Isn't that what's called Jumping The Cronulla Shark? #nswcup #nswrl #
08:09 This just seems wrong :) MT @NSWRL: The @newtownrlfc have a new digital scoreboard at Henson just in time for the 2012 #VBNSWCUP season. #

21:56 Disappointingly, the NSW ALP online shop doesn't stock any "Morris Iemma: More to do but heading in the right direction" merchandise #
21:51 Oh. Dear. For only $5 you too can support the NSW ALP by buying a "Barrie Unsworth: On The Right Track" badge - http://t.co/36phwAEi #
21:19 hmm email from the NSW ALP inviting me to enter a comp to win NRL corporate tickets http://t.co/thjoodv5 (NB I'm not an ALP member) #
20:20 I'm sorry, but Chris Uhlmann's political interviewing career peaked with Mal Meninga in 2001. #abc730 #auspol #
18:23 Let me understand this. Joe Hildebrand is making a documentary for the ABC about racism. #
17:59 I've heard of MC Hammer but this... RT @rod_benson: I just hope #mcdud doesn't start trending on Twitter... #
13:41 3:622/425. That was my Fidonet address in the mid-1990s. Utterly useful snippet of info that now I think. #
13:30 And with that click, rickeyre.blogspot.com is going, going... gone. #
07:07 Oh dear, there's that pesky Trafigura again. RT @guardianeco: Trafigura in South Sudan oil row http://t.co/Q5SL4FX7 #
