End the week with a light-hearted Twitter trend

Dan Thornton | June 19, 2009

In amongst the turmoil of #iranelection, and the news that Twitter is starting to moderate trending topics, it’s nice to finish the week on a more humourous note.

Which is why I’m chuckling to myself about the huge number of current ReTweets:

‘Worst Daily Mail poll ever. VOTE YES to skew the results and pass it on! http://bit.ly/w4b6Q’

As of 2pm on Friday, it’s flooding the place.

And the reason for all this is the conservative right UK newspaper, The Daily Mail, whose poll of the day really does defy belief:  ‘Should the NHS allow gipsies to jump the queue?’

And the effect of Twitter probably explains why the poll is currently skewed to 85% Yes, and 15% No.
