I set up the @ImpatientNHS Twitter feed of NHS news and comment articles in August 2012. It’s been running automatically ever since, now tracking more than two dozen specific sources and hundreds more through Google News, with 443 followers currently. It’s not perfect – in particular, stories from some sites have a habit of appearing more than once, possibly through them being republished. But it doesn’t miss much.
Updated: this concerned an online archive of these tweets. It has since been suspended due to technical problems.
Meanwhile, over on Beacon, last Friday’s article was about HS2 – by way of Aberdeen and Avignon. Guess which of these destinations takes less time to reach by train, and (for a return ticket departing early on St Valentine’s Day) is also cheaper? The answer may not surprise you…
