Greetings friends,
Team Twitter are on route to Oxford to battle face to face, laptop to laptop, Facebook VS Twitter to prove that TWITTER is SMARTER than Facebook.
We'll be answering 5 questions, given to us by Upstream duo; JCX and Slick.
Can you PLEASE be on Twitter between 7 and 730 PM TONIGHT to help us PROVE that Twitter is BEST!
ALSO: WE NEED YOUR WEBCAM VIDS! Mini-mission for the day is to get as many followers to leave us a webcam as possible. We NEED to beat the Facebook boys! Each webcam is worth 1 point! Just leave a reply to this post, OR upload to current.com and tag: Team Twitter OR tweet us a link to your vid. We'd really appreciate it!
Drop us a tweet if you're in Oxford too!!
We love you all,

And as soon as it began, it's almost over. After the months of planning, frantic friend-finding and following, Facebook vs. Twitter is on the grand finale!
Our two teams, ingeniously named Team Twitter and Team Facebook, have been sent off into the wilderness, armed only with cameras, laptops and the login details to their chosen weapon (read: social network) in their personally customised camper vans. All week they've been sent off to a new (unbeknown to them) location where they've had to enlist the help of their Facebook friends/Twitter followers to complete the tasks they're set on the Upstream show on Current TV.
On Monday, Team Twitter, made up of Webmash host, Anne Foy, and two Associate Producers, Sylvia and Charlotte, were sent to Manchester, where they performed to a sold out crowd of 200 stand-up loving punters.
Team Facebook, consisting of Upstream host Stew Game, and two VC2 producers, Donal and Fraser, were sent packing to Edinburgh where they performed the jokes they’d been sent over Facebook. They’re just weren't sure to how many people they would be trying to make laugh. Could've been 50, could've been 500…
The teams need YOUR assistance to help them complete their final challenges which were set live on Upstream last night.
Check below in the comments for the run down of the challenges the teams have been set throughout the week and for all their updates check: http://current.com/facebookvtwitter

Tune in tonight 7pm (Sky 183/Virgin 155) for coverage of the teams' final challenges and to see the overall winner. Plus, don't miss the Facebook vs. Twitter supershow this Sunday at 10pm.And as soon as it began, it's almost over. After the months of planning, frantic... more

Speeding off in the Tweet-mobile from London to Manchester, Team Twitter were feeling pretty grinny and supported as jokes for Foy's 10 minute stand up routine came flying in over Twitter.

A not so brief briefing, 2 hours later and Team Twitter are all excited, just for a change eh.
Armed with our camera equipment, GPS and lots of bright ideas, we're still none the wiser as to where we're going or what on earth the Current TV bosses will be making us do...It's going to be like Charlie Brooker and Euan McGregor riding around all over the shop, without the beards and the adoring fans, like The Apprentice...but with sex appeal and more swearing.

There you have it, Simon De Glanville a photographer from Peckham, has had his shots of pigeons published in the Metro for all London's commuters to enjoy.
A lesson for us all, appreciate the beauty of our urban park's wildlife! Forget your Scarlet Macaws or your Love Birds, it's all about the Pigeons.
The Facebook team (in Current TV's Facebook Vs Twitter challenge) foolishly used these wondrous urban queens as a metaphore for the Twitter girls, saying how easily they will fall into their trap.
Note the observations Simon De Glanville's made whilst trying to take these photos:
'I've learnt to recognise the point their desire for bread overcomes their fear of the equipment and capitalise on that'.
I'd like to point out that Team Twitter are hungry for success and have no fear of equipment!

Mission 2 Completed!
The Twit girls went to meet some clever clever Twitter connoisseurs at the Tuttle Club to find out how to reach their target of a 1000 followers and how NOT to misuse the precious. With the competition about to begin for realz on Sunday 7th June, Sylvia and Charlotte have resorted to cheap bribery and crappy incentives...it could work.

So, I've gone and broken a bone in my foot. I'm so disappointed with myself.
I tripped over on the way to work a few days ago, and after being forced to go to the hospital, I was told that I had broken the outer metatarsal in my right foot.
I'm heading back to the hospital to see the specialist this afternoon to find out whether I can still take part in the Facebook vs Twitter challenge in 3 weeks' time.
Fingers-crossed everyone!
