1) W3C and HTML5 related Twitter buzz
=====================================
[Things that were tweeted frequently, things that caught my attention, etc.
  Most *recent* first (popularity is flagged with the figure between  
parenthesis —that is the number of times the same URIs or tweet was  
quoted/RTed.)]


* (62) Korben: Retour sur le DRM dans HTML5 - Le point de vue de Robin du  
W3C (Back to DRM in HTML5 - The point of view of Robin of the W3C)
<http://korben.info/retour-sur-le-drm-dans-html5-le-point-de-vue-de-robin-du-w3c.html>

* (145) #web25: We (@w3c, @web25, @webfoundation, @webwewant) promoted  
that TimBL discussed yesterday the Wired UK March issue cover story “Web's  
25th birthday in 2014, The Web is under threat”

* (45) HTML for email Community Group
<http://www.w3.org/community/htmail/>


My pick, a couple tweets in the wake of Microsoft naming CEO Satya Nadella  
Monday:

* (38) “No @satyanadella, you don’t have the best platform to change the  
world. We do. @w3c platform.html5.org” (A Twitter handle not operated by  
the W3C Comm Team)
<http://twitter.com/html5/status/431036652409327616>
This is in response to a Microsoft video, <a  
href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8JwNZBJ_wI">Satya Nadella: His  
first interview as CEO of Microsoft</a> (fast-forward to 4:28).

* (458) “HTML5 - what fun!” (A tweet from 7 June 2010)
<http://twitter.com/satyanadella/status/15642422074>
Nadella hadn’t tweeted between July 2010 and 5 February 2014. And between  
Feb 2009 and July 2010, he tweeted 25 times. He sent his first tweet as MS  
CEO on 5 Feb: “first commitment as CEO...i won't wait 4 years between  
tweets!”.
