The Guardian just published today one of those brilliant articles whereby they announced that they will shift the newspaper's format to tweets of 140 characters. The article was written in the pure tradition of the Onion newspaper (Such as "toy withdrawn from the market because of three dumb dead kids") but is also very believable and eventually makes one wonder if tweets will one day replace "credible" journalism in terms of full-blown sotries rather than initiations of breaking news or thoughts of bored people.... Need I remind you that today is April fool's day?
