The Guardian accepts the future, moves towards it

You can call the old Grauniad a lot of things, but old-fashioned is no longer appropriate — they're converting to Twitter:

Twitter switch for Guardian, after 188 years of ink

• Newspaper to be available only on messaging service
• Experts say any story can be told in 140 characters

They're twitterating their entire archive, too:

1927
OMG first successful transatlantic air flight wow, pretty cool! Boring day otherwise *sigh*

1940
W Churchill giving speech NOW - "we shall fight on the beaches ... we shall never surrender" check YouTube later for the rest

1961
Listening 2 new band "The Beatles"

1989
Berlin Wall falls! Majority view of Twitterers = it's a historic moment! What do you think??? Have your say

You'd have to admit that it really does capture the essence of Guardian coverage, wouldn't you?
