Ask And You Shall Receive
Well – if you’re Ellen DeGeneres at least. Ellen, currently hosting the 86th Academy Awards, used her (plug) Samsung Galaxy and took the selfie that broke Twitter. That’s right. Ellen collected a small group of friends during the live show (friends including Meryl Streep, Bradley Cooper, Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Kevin Spacey, Julia Roberts..) and requested that this snapshot take the cake for “most retweeted tweet”, a record she hoped to break. Well it seems as though a number of people not only heard her, but did exactly as she asked. And with over 1.7m retweets in under an hour, she broke Twitter. #oops.
