Piers Morgan has just arrived on Twitter but he's already picked a fight with Guardian editor-in-chief Alan Rusbridger by boasting about how many followers he's got.
Piers tweets: "@arusbridger Dear Alan, I've overtaken your follower count in less than a day. That's got to hurt, right?"
Rusbridger responds: "@piersmorgan as I've always tried to explain, Piers, it's not about numbers..."
Piers hits back: "@arusbridger But you've always explained that from a position of catastrophic numerical loss. So not entirely credible argument."
This is just what Twitter was invented for.
Hi Jon. Hope you are well.. Small world! I actually tried to bait him last night when he came on-line. Bizarrely using your name!!!!

Would love to chat with my fellow twits but got a hot date with @MarthaStewart and Mad Man John Slattery at @adage conference in NYC..

@piersmorgan Not Jon Slattery of UKPG fame? Send him my regards - from another novice Twit.
Surprisingly - he didn't rise to the bait of you or UKPG. Maybe Mr Smug was meaning that actor ;-)

Cheers Phil,
ReplyDeleteYes, I think he meant the other John Slattery...but thanks for the mention.
Regards,
Jon S.
