Today he posted this rather intriguing tweet:

First Past The Post works by putting a cross next to one candidates name, Alternative Vote works by ordering candidates.  I’m not sure how he came to this conclusion, but so far it seems completely baseless and suggests a complete lack of understanding of what he’s talking about.  He should provide evidence for his assertion.  If he’s got none, go away please. (His words, not mine)

He really shouldn’t be tweeting about something he doesn’t know about. (His words, not mine)

I should mention, my criticisms of him are that he doesn’t eat his own medicine.  Follow him.  He does seem like an honest decent person despite some odd tweets.

Expect more blogging and tweeting over the next few weeks as activists hit the (both cyber and real) streets as the war of the words begins.  There is one issue I have though.  So many people are putting an emphasis on social media.  David Cameron having more fans on Facebook than any other party leader means that more Conservative supporters have become fans of him than can be said for Gordon Brown (and in fact, a lot of Cameron’s fans aren’t Tories either).

John Prescott and is persistent tweeting is mainly to supporters, opposition supports and journalists.  And while this is all fine and dandy, there is one thing to know.  The floating voter is hard to find – they wont be becoming a fan of any politician on Facebook – they won’t be following tweets.  They usually aren’t interested in the political cross-party fighting by supporters that occurs on Twitter or the tiresome comment-based arguments on the latest post on Facebook.  Therefore they don’t pay attention.  The way to win this election is to get out the vote and not get out the tweet.  It simply won’t work.

But that’s election day.  Before then, expect Sky and the BBC to repeating the same 5 stories over and over again until we all become bored and lose interest. The fight commences…

If only there was some sort of official Government department that would release a statement.

Nearly 85 percent of the iPhone owners used the phone as their watch, and 89 percent used it as their alarm clock. In fact, 75 percent admitted to falling asleep with the iPhone in bed with them, and 69 percent said they were more likely to forget their wallet than their iPhone when leaving in the morning.

And in other news, people who own computers tend to use their computers for producing essays as opposed to hand written.  If you’re paying a lot of money for something like an iPhone, not using it to its full potential is a blatant waste of money. Why buy an alarm clock when you’re phone can do the same job?

Moreover, people check their phones all the time for various things including twitter, text messages, email and so on.  The mobile phone is part of our always connected culture. We even use them for organising our lives – it is in fact the modern day personal assistant.   It should come as no surprise that something that helps us keep connected and organised is so important to us.

I’ve finally got round to implementing my planned changes to MPorcheron.com (read: stripping down the content, design and starting from scratch). I’m quite pleased with the new cleaner and brighter design. I hope my post count will exceed the usual 1-post-per-annum policy I seem to have adopted recently.

I have no idea what content will be posted on here, more than likely though it will transform back into its old self (a dumping ground for complaints, programming and political views).

Over and out.
