World record writers block

I haven't written anything in long form for ages. I am inclined to think that this is not a good thing.

Twitter is my major form of online expression these days, which is fine, but the need to express opinions that won't fit into the (usually fully adequate) 140 character format does arise from time to time.

I used to have a daily twitter archive making auto blogposts to this site, but that broke about eighteen months ago and I haven't seen a replacement.

Cricinfo at 20ish: CricInfo365 at 15

Today, July 16, is the 15th anniversary of the first edition of CricInfo365 - the daily news email service of CricInfo, then a joint venture with Direct Network Publishing (later 365Corp). I was its creator, editor, and in those early days, its full-time staff of one, and worked on about a thousand editions (through a name change to CricInfo Daily) until August 2001.

Twitter list: South African media sources

My Twitter list of media sources that I track for news about South Africa.

The direct link to this on the web is https://twitter.com/rickeyre/media-southafrica although I understand this is hard to pick up on some Twitter apps.

Note that I have included the official Twitter feed of President Jacob Zuma's office in this list.

(This was originally posted in June 2013 when Nelson Mandela was gravely ill in hospital. I have updated in on 6 December 2013 following news of his passing.)
