Real-time World War II, now on a twitter near you

[Fig]

Was mentioned in my local newspaper this morning.

For the past two months (since August 31), an Oxford university student has been "tweeting" WW II in real-time (that is, events from August 31 on August 31, etc), trying to recreate the feel of the conflict on modern social medias.

Pretty cool, if you're into history

That is pretty interesting... Not into the social media thing too much, though D:

Guess it will be another 2 years till the US enters the fray...

I know there was a real-time 9/11 Twitter feed, but three hours is tiny compared to six years.

This is very interesting.

That's pretty cool. All I'm missing now is a Twitter account.

Shouldn't it start with the Second Sino-Japanese war?

Also this should start being a trend. I want one for various Historical events.

How long before someone attempts the Hundred Years' War?
