I didn't want to write yet another piece on Twitter, but with nothing else interesting to cover at 6pm on a Saturday it seems inevitable. Sky News has appointed a 'Twitter correspondent': not to send out 140 character bulletins thankfully, but to peruse feeds in the hope of gaining a scoop. These breaking headlines would include "I've got a headache" and "I am eating a cheese sandwich" for those of you unfamiliar with the actual contents of a tweet.

Twitter is a glorified Facebook status update. The best thing about downloading the Tweetdeck program, which automatically updates feeds like a newsreader, is that you slowly come to the realisation that the lives of celebrities are just as boring as yours. The worst thing about it is that you're continually harassed with a deluge of banality and have to sift out the updates you actually want to read. Welcome to the future of communication: it's like being smacked over the head with a newspaper until you actively acknowledge the contents. Except the contents are crap.

I should be grateful to the almighty T for helping to spread awareness of my satirical EUSA presidential election video. According to the YouTube statistics, Twitter accounted for nearly 200 views (compared to over 400 for Facebook) of just over 1000 total. Aside from its use as a tool to promote my dissertation-stalling hobbies, however, Twitter is a fad and surely won't take over every waking moment of free time in the way Facebook does.

A report commissioned by Which? has shown that software like Brain Training doesn't actually improve mental performance… except when playing Brain Training. Even Dr Kawashima can't help Cheryl Cole boost her powers of mental reasoning- did anyone expect otherwise? That's like saying playing violent games all day would somehow train you to be a killer. Oh, wait. Never mind.
By the way, don't forget to follow me on Twitter: @AGBear. Thanks.
