Loving the "disrupt" wording! Thanks for the tweaks. We'll start getting these out tomorrow in the AM.

Hey there love these btw. 

Maybe for we use we can use that – its satirical at this point– some of that Silicon slang for the Google tweet.

".@Google disrupts the tech world with new parent company, Alphabet"

For the Hiroshima tweet, I think we can just cut it down to: 

"70 years later, Japan & the world remembers victims of #Hiroshima & #Nagasaki" <-- NOTE: not trending as significantly anymore and we have our own hashtag to account for. 

Can say something for the North Korea tweet using FB/G suggestion - I don't find it too curt at all. 

LGTM

Hey all,

We just published "News on Wikipedia: Google reshuffles into Alphabet, Japan remembers, and more" to the Wikimedia blog. URL:

We plan to send out five pieces of social for this story, spread through the rest of the week to keep things timely.

Please do comment for tone.

• @Google surprised the tech world with new parent company Alphabet. #NewsOnWikipedia

• Japan remembered the victims of Hiroshima and Nagasaki this week. #NewsOnWikipedia

• Egypt's Suez Canal reopened last week following a makeover. #NewsOnWikipedia

• Typhoon Soudelor caused $1.4bn in damage in Taiwan and China. #NewsOnWikipedia

• North Korea will officially move to "Pyongyang Time" on Saturday. #NewsOnWikipedia

Facebook/G+:

• Looks like Google will need to Alphabetise their servers... #NewsOnWikipedia

• Japan commemorated 70 years since the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in the Second World War. #NewsOnWikipedia

• The New Suez Canal doubles the waterway's ship capacity in less than a year. #NewsOnWikipedia

• Typhoon Soudelor made landfall in Taiwan and China last week, killing at least 29. #NewsOnWikipedia

• North Korea is moving away from Japan—half an hour away, in fact. #NewsOnWikipedia

...Since that last one might be a little too curt:

• North Korean clocks will go half an hour back on Saturday. #NewsOnWikipedia

best,

Joe
