RAW VISION: David Gyngell gives a brief response to media questioning after his punch up with James Packer.

James Packer and David Gyngell are the bearers of a singular tradition in Sydneys media battleground: real blokes settle things with their fists, assuming a bullwhip or a revolver isnt handy.

The kerbside stoush between the two former friends reminds those with a sense of history that Sydneys media barons and bosses have long caused some of the citys most fabulous front-page stories through their propensity to go the biff.

James Packers father Kerry, along with Kerrys brother Clyde, were involved in a marvellous late-night brawl in 1960 with a gang of thugs hired by Rupert Murdoch. Murdoch was determined to evict the Packers from the premises of the Anglican Press, which owned a printing plant that held the key to control of Sydneys newspapers.

The Daily Mirror subsequently published, beneath the screaming headline Knights Son in City Brawl, a picture of Clyde Packer tossing a one-legged clergyman into the street. The Packers lost the stoush. Kerry, a former schoolboy heavyweight boxing champion, was clouted with a six-by-four timber post and Clyde reportedly suffered a wound from a dart to the buttocks. Murdoch is supposed to have orchestrated events via two-way radio from the safety of a nearby park.

Kerry and Clydes father, Sir Frank Packer, had previously found himself in a celebrated dispute involving fisticuffs with the colourful media tycoon Ezra Norton. Packer, owner of the Daily Telegraph, and Norton, who ran Truth, had been trading verbal and newspaper-article blows before meeting at Randwick Racecourse on Derby Day in 1939.

Norton was infuriated that the Daily Telegraph had been publishing unflattering photographs of him. He hauled off and thumped Packer when they came across each other in the racecourse bar, and a ding-dong ensued. Norton was forced to apologise to the Australian Jockey Club committee because he had thrown the first punch.

Charles Barkley defending George Zimmerman - Video

San Diego, CA (PRWEB) May 05, 2014

Tower App Development, Inc. (tower.io), a San Diego-based software company, today announced their share offering on AngelList (angel.co/Tower-1) to raise capital to complete the development and launch of their mobile app--Tower--that is set to re-write how the world interacts on social networks. Tower is a dynamic mobile application that connects mobile users with the people in their dorms, residential buildings, office buildings, barracks, neighborhoods, hotels, cruise ships, even resorts...anywhere in the world mobile users want to get connected they can!

In today's social media ecosystem, although social media participants can make friend requests and share pictures of food and pets rather easily, the Tower team found that it's quite difficult to actually make friends they can interact with outside of the social network. The Tower team found that there really is an interaction distance between social media participants and the friends they make online. Tower removes that interaction distance by facilitating a social environment based upon personal relationships and interactions. With Tower, not only will users be able to increase their interaction with their online friends, but theyll also be able to create group-specific privacy controls, create event notices, text/voice/video chat, share pictures and videos, search for users, post updates to various feeds, connect via Facebook/Twitter/Instagram, and post free notices in the classified section.

What we found, after a thorough analysis of the social networking ecosystem, was that there exists an 'interaction distance' between you and all of your online friends. Its not the users fault, though. Social networking users have perfected the ability to make friends requests and share media, but users havent been given the tools to take their social media experience to the next level, says Tony Silva, CEO of Tower. Tower removes this interaction distance and gives users a powerful tool that allows them to create a three-dimensional social networking experience. Basically, we are making social networking...well...social!

Towers offering on AngelList is staged to raise $2 million dollars so that the Tower team can complete the development of the mobile app as well as create an infrastructure that will allow the team to easily scale. Beta testing is set to begin in July 2014 with the app being launched in app stores by September 2014.
