Twitter reaches 10 billion tweets. And there was much rejoicing.
The New York Times released a fascinating article on what the Chinese are calling “human-flesh searching”. It seems that social media has spurred an underground group of moral heroes in China. A collection of people banding together from the Internet to cast out perpetrators of heinous and immoral actions, unifying together to ban the accused parties from certain jobs, lifestyles, or even to force them to move away from their home city. Excerpts and a link to the full article after the jump.

So being the semi-avid academic that I am, I don’t b.s. about bookmarking websites that provide a generous wealth of pop culture pulp for my pontificating pleasure. That being said, I can’t quite convey how much Pew Research Center tickles my pickle.
It’s a site where the statistics are relevant and the digest is edible. [...]

I like Twitter.
Ok maybe that’s not accurate. I really like Twitter. I constantly update and I’ve connected with some really awesome people so I guess I shouldn’t complain. There are some things about Twitter, however, that annoy me a little.
I go on Twitter to connect with like minded individuals that like some of the things [...]
