Twitter gets a mention in the House of Reps - does that count as "pointless babble" too?


The Twitterverse seems to be full of bods trying to get in their tongue-in-cheek 40% of babble for the day or commenting on a Pear Analytics critique of these digital conversations.

In the House of Reps yesterday the Aussie Prime Minister apparently hadn't heard that tweets were being dissed as mostly froth and bubble because during Question Time he quoted a David Speers tweet:
  • Another messy Coalition partyroom. Much debate over tactics on Renewable Energy Target. Nats angry at Hunt flagging Coalition support.
Here are a couple of speerisms which didn't make our mate Kev's top of the hits list:
  • turnbull could get done for enviro vandalism with that branch of wattle he's wearing for Vietnam Vets day
  • watching PM give detailed powerpoint presentation at AIG Forum. Some of the best Rudd-speak i've heard
