There are several dozen other blogs/sites that have a regular post or column going by the title Twitbits. And apparently there's a Twitter account by the name @TwitBITS, but only one post back on 26 March 2008. That said, I'm keeping my retrospective daily blog post title. Read on…

“@MolksTVTalk: re:Gaddafi. Can we no longer trust news services to tell us he's dead?Pics too much for Brekky.” we tell but how much to show
- In my job, I've recorded tv news services for nearly 30 years and I've seen some horrific and confronting images in that time. Even-though Sunrise chose to censor the pictures they showed, I still had to look away. Sometimes it's not the content but the context in which it is shown. Maybe it's the Arab culture to display like a trophy, and give it no dignity in death.

Curious why @AP spells the name `Gadhafi,' not Qaddafi, Qazzafi, Qadhdhafi, Gaththafi, Khadafy? apne.ws/n5kEEq
- This was an interesting article. I've had an interest in etymology, linguistics and hermeneutics (translation) for many years.
