So Rupert Murdoch has now joined Twitter and has instantly picked up more than 140,000 followers. As you'd expect, the media mogul is now working out how to use it.
For example, look at what happened another Twitter user @WendiDeng popped up. When Murdoch writes on Twitter that he thinks the Brits take too many holidays, @WendiDeng responds straight away. "@RupertMurdoch. RUPERT!!! delete tweet. which he promptly did. As The Guardian reports, it turns that @WendiDeng is a fake.
The Twitterati have responded in style. One tweeter, @John_Hanna, tweeted "Great that @rupertmurdoch has discovered all you need is 140 characters instead of 140 newspapers." Another tweeted: "Welcome to Twitter…@rupertmurdoch. I've left you a Happy New Year message on my voicemail!". Droll, very droll.
Meanwhile, Murdoch seems to be be struggling with Twitter. It doesn't come easy when you're 80. Like in one instance, he attacks the President of the United States but says Seems like universal anger with Optus from all sorts of normal supporters. Maybe backing pirates a rare miscalculation by friend Axelrod. . He later admits the mistake, claiming his iPad mangled his spelling. Yes, thanks, of course I meant POTUS. Somehow iPad changed my spelling. I should have checked. Sorry. Yeah right.
In another revealing tweet, Murdoch admits News Corporation stuffed up badly when it bought MySpace. Many questions and jokes about My Space.simple answer – we screwed up in every way possible, learned lots of valuable expensive lessons..
He also attacks Google. Piracy leader is Google who streams movies free, sells advts around them. No wonder pouring millions into lobbying.
Calling Google a piracy leader is a bit rich when you've been hacking into people's phones.
