Since getting married, Rupert Murdoch has chosen to stop using Twitter. Althoug his signing of tweet said that he would possibly only stop for 10 days, more people believe that he is going for his second option of stopping using Twitter for ever. Murdoch's tweets stating his opinions on politics often made headlines and even him retweeting something would bring about a lot of attention. With his marriage to former supermodel, Jerry Hall, he no longer has a need to use Twitter.
- On 4 March, the day of hiswedding to actor-model Jerry Hall, Murdoch signed off
- The “or” leaves some hope for his 745,000 fans.
- The 84-year-old founder of News Corporation often made headlines simply by expressing his opinion on the news of the day
- Love needs more than 140 characters.
By losing such an influential celebrity as a
consumer, this may be a great blow for Twitter as avid Rupert Murdoch fans may
decide to boycott the social media site in support of Murdoch. People may
believe that if such a person who has a massive impact on the world's media
stops using a form of media, it may be because the particular media is not
worth wasting time on. There is a possibility that some users may also form
this opinion on Twitter after Murdoch's departure from the site.
#50 Price comparison websites' cuddly
mascots are the new frontier in financial product marketing: From meerkats to
robot
It was Christmas Eve when I started to worry about
my family. As we assembled for the annual festivities, three of my kin – who,
perhaps tellingly, have asked not to be identified in this article – brought
along their collection of cuddly meerkats and placed them together by the fire:
Aleksandr, Sergei, two Olegs, and two more Olegs in safari outfits. As I
surveyed this unsettling homage to online insurance aggregation, I realised
that my folks must have bought six financial products from CompareTheMarket in
order to assemble the collection. “Actually,” confessed one person closely
resembling my sister, “I bought one Oleg second-hand, and I don't actually use
the credit card that got me Aleksandr.”
- I looked on eBay, saw them changing hands for more than £30 each, and understood even less
- CompareTheMarket and Confused.com both declined to be interviewed for this piece, but maybe the conclusion is self-evident.
