Last week twitter was in the news, with Cameron making a Tw*t of himself, maybe as a cynical publicity stunt, and then - for the Guardianistas - Prescott trying to take advantage on Comment Is Free (epic fail!)

Following all the hoohah about it being three yeras to go, over the weekend of the Hackney Wicked arts festival, as our own cynical publicity stunt we launched http://twitter.com/gamesmonitor

We were quite pleased that even before the curtains came up, our very first follower was Guardian London and Claptonian blogger @davehill. We hope there'll be many more of course.

twitteristas can search out or contribute to discussion around the 2012 Games and other mega-events impacting the environment using the 'hash-tag' #gamesmonitor
