Twitter Weirdness

understandinguncertainty.org was produced by the Winton programme for the public understanding of risk based in the Statistical Laboratory in the University of Cambridge. The aim was to help improve the way that uncertainty and risk are discussed in society, and show how probability and statistics can be both useful and entertaining.
Many of the animations were produced using Flash and will no longer work.
I posted a tweet on Twitter saying I wanted a new website and could anyone recommend a designer. Very shortly afterwards I was contacted by someone asking if they could help. It turned out he was someone I was at school with and hadn't seen for over 30 years. He said he'd decided that morning to try something new, to search Twitter for anyone asking about websites. I was the very first tweet he found and he contacted me not realising he knew me. He later pitched for the job but didn't get it (it wasn't that sort of school tie).
