Speaking at the Churchill Club a few hours ago, Twitter CEO Evan Williams gave twitter fans a tantalizing glimpse of great things to come for the fledgling microblogging network. According to the Twitter cofounder, the site will soon feature the traditional friending and grouping features common to most social networking sites. Until now, organizing your twitter friends into groups required the use of a 3rd party service such as Yahoo! Pipes.

Here's a quote from a CNET Article about Williams' comments during the Churchill Club event:

"Speaking of expansion,...

If you've ever been unfollowed on Twitter and wanted to know why, Qwitter is the Twitter service for you. Almost as elegant at Twitter itself, Qwitter simply asks you for your email address and twitter username, and then the service watches your Twitter follower list and sends you an email when one of your followers stops following you - including the last tweet you posted before they "qwit."

Although there are other services which track usage like this, Qwitter is, as of this writing, the only one that attempts to tell you why - although there's no guarantee that it was your latest...

It's official - Apple's iPhone can now boot Linux.

According to the Linux on iPhone blog and reports in popular media, the iPhone Dev Team responsible for the iPhone 2.2 firmware jailbreak has posted a port of linux for the iPhone.

At the moment it's more of a proof-of-concept than a functional linux installation, but it's a great start. Although support for the touchscreen, wireless, and sound have yet to be implemented (along with a slew of other features), we have faith that the iPhone Dev Team will continue to work hard to make the iPhone into one of the world's smallest...

Facebook is changing the way we interact both online and offline - in good ways and bad. Whether you love it or hate it, Facebook is the platform we seem to have agreed upon, for now - and that means that we may want to think about establishing some basic rules of engagement, a set of commandments, if you will, by which we can agree to live by online. I've attempted to pull together five common sense oft-violated Facebook No No's that should make your keep your Facebook experience from turning into an exercise in anti-social networking.

With developers eagerly awaiting the announcement of Facebook's long anticipated Facebook payment platform, the application development community is abuzz with one question: How will the new payment platform affect monetizing Facebook apps?

With over 47,000 Facebook applications at the time of this writing and no sign of a development slowdown, the app developers of the world are trying to turn their creations into moneymakers - and the creation of a built-in Facebook payment platform would make that process significantly easier. Currently developers must turn to a third party...

If you're anything like the rest of us, you probably (occasionally) maintain an oft-neglected Wordpress blog somewhere out there in the ether we know as the blogosphere. And if you're like the hipper of us, you may also already be using Twitter, the microblogging platform brought to you by the people who invented the word "blogger" in the first place.

It seems like every new day brings with it a plethora of Web 2.0 clone and spin-off sites - from micro-blogging to photo-sharing. Specifically, the last year or so has seen an explosion in localized social networking sites - particularly sites with accessibility and relevance to non-English speaking countries. From German Twitter clones to Chinese Facebook knockoffs, the trend is toward language- and region-specific variants of popular social networking phenomenon.

All of these clones make me wonder about the effect that language has on determining whether or not a platform is...
