This week, Bloggingheads won the Internet.

Bloggingheads — pioneer in DIY web video which allowed a rainbow of bloggers, columnists, thinkers and pundits to debate with each other onscreen via webcam — launched their split-screen creation five years ago, on November 1, 2005, with an endearingly low-fi, brainily-awkward and awkwardly-brainy discussion between founders Robert Wright and Mickey Kaus. From there a web empire of wonkitude was born, quickly becoming a cult favorite amongst the super-keen blognoscenti types who were only too happy to spend an hour chewing over the political, media and social questions of the day. They’ve had an incredibly impressive run – and almost more impressive is the video inside, which toasts 5 years of B’heads with an incredible video mashup of its cerebral celebrities “singing” a thematically-rewritten version of “We Didn’t Start The Fire.” Good times.

Greetings world, and welcome to the second installment of “Tweets On A Plane,” whereby I amuse myself on board a flying chunk of metal in the sky by perusing your wit and wisdom in 140 characters via a pre-loaded Tweetdeck. I’m flying Porter Airlines, which rules — free wine, people, and do you think I’m indulging? Well what else goes with my free almonds, Terra chips and cookie? — and I am not lamenting the lack of on-board wifi one bit. Seriously, do I need to be wired all the time?
