From soothing your stress, or skilling up on something new to store cupboard recipes, these apps will help you get through your COVID-19 self-quarantine / self-isolation lockdown ...
A look back at some of the successes and victories, the bad times and controversies, and the downright ugly failures by Twitter and by its users, during 2012.
British PM joins Twitter after calling users "t**ts*
The bad: And another chap we love, or love to hate, depending where you sit on the political fence. The British Prime Minister David Cameron joined the microblogging service in October to coincide with the Conservative Party conference in Birmingham. Referencing a morning breakfast show broadcast in which he called Twitter users "t**ts," only a few years before, he promised there would not be "too many tweets."
However, on the bright side, it now makes Cameron the 370th U.K. Member of Parliament to start tweeting, at the time of his joining. According to Twitter at the time, around 70 percent of the world's governments have a presence on Twitter with at least one government department or elected official.
