Did you know that Twitter has its own section in Google search results? Like if you type in Manchester City--just for instance.-- on Googs you get a "Popular on Twitter" section...Actually, no, I don't get that on my laptop, only on my iPhone. Weird. Whatever, it has its own section on iPhone searches. Did you know Twitter is supplanting email in some instances? For instance: Stewart Mandel has had a popular "Mailbag" sports column for years. He wrote recently that the amount of email he gets has fallen significantly. People tweet him their questions instead. Obama has one now; the ayatollah of Iran, Rouhani, Zarif, and they tweet real stuff, like news. State policy in 140 characters or less. I couldn't believe it. I still can't believe it.
