Justin Williams breaks down how he uses the various social networks:

I'm thrilled for Loren, I really am. Tweetie 2 for the iPhone is one of my favorite pieces of software ever. But the awkwardness of this text gave me pause:
Careful analysis of the Twitter user experience in the iTunes AppStore revealed massive room for improvement. People are looking for an ...

Jason Kincaid at TechCrunch notes that Twitter is killing off the (hidden) auto-follow feature. This is just barely news, since getting it turned on required contacting Twitter support. This quote grabbed my attention:

According to Wikipedia, tomorrow marks 19 years of MC Hammer's U Can't Touch This. Curious, I asked the man himself:
