STOP, TWITTER TIME

If it's good enough for Barack Obama, Stephen Fry and MC Hammer, then it's good enough for them. Yes, Coldplay have joined the twitter revolution by setting up the official Coldplay twitter feed at http://www.twitter.com/coldplay. Pop over there to read little Coldplay updates at regular intervals (which, for those unfamiliar with it, is essentially what twitter is for).
