Twitter News


A new, apparently more efficient alternative to twitterberry for blackberries, called ubertwitter, has gotten a lot of praise recently. You can do everything you could do with twitterberry, and more. Its said to be easier to post photos and you can also attach maps so people can know where exactly you are posting your tweets from. You can also disable this feature if you don't want people to know where you are all the time.
Also, Good magazine has a new feature where you can view many of their data charts and pictures from things in the magazine on flickr, along with other things that are put in the magazine as a sample.

Pre Updates & Glowing Monkeys. Wonderful


Verizon has said that it will now be carrying the palm pre, which is a surprise to many who thought its sole carrier was Sprint. Because of this, it seems that Verizon's stock has suddenly rose and Sprint's suddenly dropped. Another update about the pre is that it will actually be able to sync up to itunes. However, many6 suspect that Apple will find a way to block the pre's access to this.

Also, Japanese engineers have stated that5 thery have geneetically engineered monkeys to glow. For real. They took marmosets and when exposed to ultraviolet light, their feet glow. As you can see, we use the technology of today for extremely useful purposes.
