The opportunity to read every intimate detail of people's lives as they go about their daily activities. Surely the prime example of information overload. The current Twitter trend is Jonathan King, the pop personality who just appeared at the Leveson Enquiry in London.

Leveson is looking into the amazing revelations that the pontificating media so beloved off the masses has been engaged in an unholy hacking into people's private lives.

King's video of his song about the mass killer of dear old ladies  Dr Harold Shipman is a current trend. A Shuttle reader has directed us to another video.

Knowing we are a great fan of Marlene Dietrich (having shared an adventure with her..a tale for another day) we have a video of the film goddess singing live in Bournemouth in 1966.

Not the greatest recording but an example of why Dietrich was a true star :
