Following A Clock on Twitter?
It’s Sunday and not a lot is happening around the intertubes, so why not fire up Twitter and follow Big Ben? Yes, I am talking about the clock tower in London. This is kinda like watching paint dry or grass grow but at least you'll have a “bong” to keep you company....lots of them.

Was past there yesterday, didn't even bother me even though I'd never seen it before in real life (travelled down from Manchester, northern England on work)

Twitter it ? Why ?

Well, most tweets read

Blah blah blah, blah blah. Blah blah.
About 1 hour ago

Blah blah blah blah blah?!
About 3 hours ago

Blah blah?
About 4 hours ago

Blah blah blah blah. Blah blah. Blah!
About 5 hours ago

So there isn't much of a difference...

Someone should go create a Twitter page for the Atomic Clock so everyone can sync their times perfectly

Yet another reason why Twitter will lead to the downfall of the human race.

Meh. A script that outputs appropriate amount of BONGs every hour, on a 24 hour loop. Lame.
