Something I only found out after this went up was that apparently the older generation of the press box were all in consultation with younger members trying to work out exactly what Twitter was. Quite a few gave up after only a few seconds. Others nodded a lot then had a lie down. Stilgherrian, I don’t even know what Generation Y really means.

Particularly when Twitter users are an <em>older</em> demographic than most social platforms? But yes, Cricket Australia proves itself a bunch of out-of-touch control freaks. Again. What they <em>should</em> be livid about is their own inability to transmit information to their fans -- you know, the people who support the game -- promptly. Gawd, they're outpaced by some three-person tweet-by-committee that can only generate 13 tweets in 24 days? Sorry, what’s this got to do with “Generation Y”?

Give me a break. Its not like he said anything defamatory. He was just a little shocked, and didn't think about protocol. So, if i’m sacked, I have to wait for my employer to announce it first?
