Irish-Born Qwitter Hits CNN
23 Jan 2009 | Filed Under: Interpipes + Ireland
While taking a few minutes last night to search for yet more Unmitigated Tears of Joy Obama Political Porn, my attention was momentarily diverted when, on the front page of CNN, I saw an article that mentioned Twitter.
I’m always happy when Twitter gets the big press, but I was doubly delighted to click through and see Eoghan McCabe and the Contrast crew’s nefarious Qwitter mentioned – not once, but twice in this article about Twitter, its application in the corporate world, and the hellspawn of spinoff applications it has launched.
To my enormous dismay, there was no mention of Twitterfone, but I’m sure that was just a tragic oversight on the journalist’s part.
Anyway, getting ink on CNN.com is no small thing, so it’s nice the boys have something to raise a glass to at their open get-together this evening. If you go, smack them with a newspaper or something and say congratulations for me.

The boys seem to be doing a brilliant job on every project they go at. Very impressed with there overall innovativeness.

The journalist in question who dared to omit twitterfone has been rounded up and shipped to … Leitrim where he will take up the post of Foreign Correspondent (covering all items from outside of the county).
