Woah - fake reviews gone to 120% https://t.co/UQwusQYStL A story about a fake restaurant getting to #1 spot in London on Tripadvisor

For many Bitcoin true believers, understanding the blockchain concept seems to have been the most intellectually challenging thing they have ever done, which is why, no doubt, accusing sceptics of not understanding it is so attractive.

Not only is this story about crows inspiring as hell https://t.co/5JzWi1pr82, it also features one of the best brilliantly ridiculous charts I witnessed this year https://t.co/DFZ7VluAFh thanks @AlejandroTauber

You know when you're travelling, it's a lovely leafy city and inevitably you'll get to hear "...this is one of the greenest cities in world" Now you can call their bs out! #quantified #science #data #gorgeousvisualisations https://t.co/retdUoSJfS thanks to @gartn001

TIL about #Brushing - boosting your ecommerce platform ranking by sending cheap crap to people who haven't even ordered it in the first place https://t.co/ROa6Wqytqo

@sharkstar OMFG. Speechless. That's not some facebook sextortion for you, this is just mindblowing. In the grand scheme of things a few dumb trolls with a bit of tech changing the course of the country... and not stopping with this one.

@ollypickard I hope you won't but if you do tell me all about it!

[Lukas K @deadlyhappy]

@sharkstar wow, good times. And I suppose the weather does nothing to the turn out anyway - no one wants to bail out after all that training

[Lukas K @deadlyhappy]

@sharkstar BrightonHalf doesn't sound like a lot of fun. How did you do?

[Lukas K @deadlyhappy]

@Nmozz thanks - what a relief to see "...sustained serious injuries in the crash but ... they were not believed to be life-threatening"
