There are two live Twitter walls at today’s European Council in Brussels, as shown above in this Twitpic from @EUCouncilPress. All you have to do is put #EUCO in your tweets. A few of my contributions so far:
All EU Countries: fair trial and follow the legal process for Assange. Legal protection for Wikileaks! #EUCO

To David Cameron arriving at #EUCO – what false battle are you going to tell eurosceptics you're fighting this time, before caving in?

To Silvio Berlusconi arriving at #EUCO – didn't expect to be seeing you! With any luck this will be the last time…

Get on with it folks – be creative, spread the word, and let’s get this trending on Twitter!
[UPDATE – 1830]
So the Italians found the hash tag, and tweeted all kinds of critique of Berlusconi, something the Council of the EU described simply as ‘noise’, before turning off the Twitter wall early.
Great to see comments in different languages with #EUCO hashtag. Multilingualism thanks to you! Pitty so much #noise as well.
