Sweden Experiments With Public Twitter Takeover

revealingheart writes "BBC reports that Sweden is allowing one citizen per week to take control of its official Twitter feed, in what's been described as 'the world's most democratic Twitter experiment.' Adam Arnesson, a 21-year-old organic sheep farmer, is said to be the biggest star of the project so far, uploading photos and videos of life on his family's farm; while a female minister in the Church of Sweden and a Bosnian immigrant have also posted on the feed. The Swedish Institute and VisitSweden launched the experiment in December, which has helped to double Sweden's Twitter followers in the past month."

Typical Twitter

Cool! Let's check out the Twitter feed.

"Open-mindedness often shines like a bright flower in a blurry landscape of prejudices."

...aaaaand it's as douchey as every other Twitter feed ever.

What do they do with the sheep organs . . . ?

So did he twit what he does with his harvested organs? Are they used for the stem cell fresh blood car washing therapy from yesterday?

Prior Art: Doesn't London have a park where any wing-nut can stand up on a soapbox and spew nonsensical non sequiturs to a gullible crowd, who would rather be assimilated than think for themselves?

I guess that really sums up the Internet today, actually.

Democratic? Hardly. I never voted for him, and neither did any Swede. But I guess in this case, one twit is as good as the next.
