The California court case costing a Tyneside council an estimated £70,000 was uncontested so Twitter handed over the user's details... but it is reported that both Google and Wordpress had done that a year earlier so really what was the point? Someone trying to hit the headlines by conquering all of the social media platforms or a genuine … [Read more...]

It’s amazing that twitter almost went in to meltdown last night as the sad news of Whitney Houston’s demise leaked from her Hollywood Hotel.

You know your blog has made it when you have to schedule spam removal! #blogging
