18-08-2008 13:28
Sad news indeed, twitter.com have pulled their free sms 'mini blogging' service from Europe saying it is costing them as much as £500 per year for each subscribed person.

The general atmosphere in Denmark is bad, very bad.
Especially if you are a possible refuge that is planning to seek asylum in Denmark,
help your self: don’t do it.
