Morning Fodder: Tweetables from the IAFC and BL Show Crews
From the end of a social-networking era to the last Royal standing, here's what the IAFC staff is perusing on this Wednesday morning.
Sarah K:Â I'm overwhelmed with nostalgia because the last typewriter factory in the world is shutting down. #theendoftheanalogworld (via The Atlantic)
Caitlin: Aside from the snack food angle, I'm totally meh about this whole Royal Wedding bonanza. I can imagine Karin Vogel probably feels similarly - given that she's last in succession for the throne. A 'King Ralph' scenario would have to play out to clear the 4,972 royals that stand between her and a crown. (via WSJ)
Megan: As cult favorite Ron Paul announces his presidential ambitions, conservatives are ignoring another libertarian who can actually win. The Daily Beast's John Avlon on the right's secret weapon.
Sarah R submits this story of a digital death (and potential rebirth). Onetime social networking leader Friendster is planning on nuking all of its user data this month before it relaunches with a new design. Early indicators seem to point to the site's future as a 'casual gaming destination.' (via CNN)
