DR MUMBO: Microsoft, your Twitter photo and how to spell Telegraph

DR MUMBO had hoped that this Microsoft Songsmith ad was a spoof. Sadly it may be real. (Spotter: AdSpace Pioneers, among others)

You know those tiny profile shots in Twitter? Apparently they matter. And if you’re in the US you can even get a professional to come along and help you get the most out of it from as little as US$99, thanks to those good people at Better Tweet Shots. Prior to the digital age, Dr Mumbo believes these hardened professionals were called photographers.

Memo to the subs of the Tele: If you can only spell check one word in an article, why not make it the word Telegraph? Not Teelegraph as it appears on page 19 today.
