TC: Google in talks with Twitter.

Michael Arrington over at TechCrunch is reporting that Google is talking to the folks over at Twitter about either a possible collaboration or an outright purchase.

Personal Milestone: The Dalai Lama is a follower of mine.

I don’t put a lot of stock into the quantity of Twitter followers…but having people opt in is somehow both comforting and reassuring…however receiving the note from Twitter that His Holiness the Dalai Lama is following me is humbling…and somehow provoking of thought…his presence in my electronic or online life now gives me new questions as to the use of social networking technology as a tool for introspection as well as communications.

Breaking: Social Network Pownce Shuts Down.

This just received in my InBox…Pownce is shutting down…actually I think it’s nice to see someone say…”we gave it a go, but we did not fare as well as others…”

Twitterrific: Very Kewl App for Mac OS X and iPhone.

At first, some time ago…I was very skeptical re: the utility of Twitter…My pal Ken Villines was encouraging me to sign up…and follow his “Tweets”, so I did…and after about 12 hours…I reset my prefereneces…Ken was really enjoying the service…and I had subscribed to be updated by SMS to his Twitter stream…getting an unsoliceted text message from anyone about the banalities of life seemed too much an anoyance for me at the time…fast forward to my receipt of the v.1 iPhone…and the creation by the Iconfactory of one of my first iPhone App Store installs…Twitterrific.
