The ether is alive with the sound of tweeting - and it's all about FNB and the 'twumour' that it could be introducing PayPal in South Africa. Of course, the bank isn't confirming or denying the rumour... The other 'twumour' doing the rounds is that this is a deliberate leak - an intentional viral campaign to generate publicity.

But keep on reading our Trends section to see what else we've run since the beginning of February. Sixteen days and counting until Design Indaba!
