Twittering the News

The Guardian claims it is folding as a newspaper (har har har) and is moving to Twitter to report the news instead. It's also going back and rewriting its old stories as tweets. Like this.
"1832 Reform Act gives voting rights to one in five adult males yay!!!";

"OMG Hitler invades Poland, allies declare war see tinyurl.com/b5x6e for more";

"JFK assassin8d @ Dallas, def. heard second gunshot from grassy knoll WTF?"
Personally, I like it. Who has time to read the news?

I generally hate April Fool's Day, but some of the clever stuff is neat.
