A Twitter Story

There was a vocal groan when we looked at Twitter in class... but I love it.

At any rate it can be a very useful way of finding stuff out.

I was on my way home from the West Nowra TAFE building when I decided to stop in town and get some cash from an ATM. As I got out of the car I noticed a bright flash of light behind me. I assumed it was a faulty fluorescent light. It wasn't. It actually turned out to be a police photographer. There was police tape around the rail outside the Nowra Medicare office.

I was curious to find out what happened. So I googled a few terms. Nothing. Nothing in the local media. But then I searched Twitter.

Edit Your Video IN YouTube

Nalts reports it's a little buggy but, in theory, you can edit your YouTube video after you've uploaded it.
