Betty White can have her cake and eat it too, photo from flickr by abbey*christine

Here is a highlight of what’s been happening in the world of communications this week:

• Hollywood is buzzing over Betty White after she helped catapult “Saturday Night Live” to its best ratings in 18 months
• Tourism NT uses “Abo” as paid search term and its media agency takes the blame one day later
• An accountant who used Twitter to threaten to blow up airport was fined 1000 pound
• While people are musing over “whether the British general election was a social media election”, Gordon Brown has handed in his keys to number 10 to make way for new British Prime Minister David Cameron
• Talk continues around Catherine Deveny’s tweets while Helen Razer is making time for more books by shutting down her Twitter account
• And, last but not least, Wayne Swan hands down his third budget as Treasurer

Have a chipper weekend,
