Teen albatross?

The BBC have become the latest website to notice Tom Watson's teens page, but they do realise it's a joke. It's an interesting article on how what weblogs can do for politics, anyway, making note of the Voxpolitics event on Monday (now with added wi-fi), and also getting some interesting feedback from readers at the bottom of the page.

But, thinking about the Teens page, I do wonder whether Tom will ever be able to forget he created it, as almost every mention of him in the media seems to circle round to it eventually. I can just imagine an election night in 20 or so years time with him finally winning the election and heading off for number 10 with David Dimbleby (or whoever's replaced him by that point) intoning 'and so Tom Watson, creator of the famous teens page, becomes the first blogging Prime Minister. Is he still down with the interwebnet?'
