Royal Wedding

Happiness of Kate at Engagement

Any 140-character loving guests attending the April 29 wedding of Prince William and Catherine (Kate) Middleton will be sorely upset, as signal-blocking technology will be installed at Westminster Abbey to zero cell phone use.

According to Yahoo, the idea was recommended by members of the royal family and confirmed by police and security. They hope blocking phones and tweeting will cut down on news photos and videos featuring cell phone-toting guests, disturbing ringtones and info about the wedding getting out ahead of the event.

The lack of Twitter at the actual event doesn’t mean the web will go silent, obviously — in fact, talk of the Royal Wedding is accelerating speedily on Facebook and Twitter.
