Best way to clear up broken glass?

I just dropped and shattered a glass serving dish. I am picking up the big pieces, but what's your best method for picking up the little shards?

The floor is a very hard, kills everything tile and there are little slivers of glass everywhere.

Use a dustpan and brush for the larger shards, then rub a slice of bread over the floor to pick up the tiny bits.

Use the hoover

Dustpan & brush for the big bits, then hoover up the rest.

A piece of bread rolled over the area (tear the crusts off, the fresher the better)

A ball of cotton wall wiped over the floor will pick up the tiny shards.

Sellotape rolled over your hand to make a mitt, sticky side out.

Pick large bits.
Get vacuum with the end off so it's just the pole and carefully go over the area where shards may be. If you use the vacuum with the ordinary part on the end, glass could get trapped in there.
