Boris tweets about 'draft culture strategy'

A man who recently boasted of having read little but Latin and Greek for the past 25 years might not, you'd think, be the most active tweeter. But the Mayor of London has just used Twitter to ask his followers - that's 80,595 of them - to contribute to London's cultural strategy as the Olympics bear down on us. The full message is as follows: "What's important to you about arts and culture as we head to 2012? Want to hear from you!" And then there's a bit.ly link.
