Facebook Testing VIP App With Some Celebs
In case you thought I was becoming a Facebook fanboy, let me just say that this celeb crap is something Zuck will be adding to his list of regrets within the year.
Granted, that’s probably a very short list, but this VIP thing is a distraction an a gimmick and it’s going nowhere.
And yes, I’m prepared to try some claim chowder if I’m wrong. I’m just pretty confident I’m not.
Twitter forced to turn over protester's deleted tweets

Mike Isaac, writing at All Things D:
In the end, the New York DA and the judge used a legal maneuver to put pressure on Twitter, threatening to hold the company in contempt of court and levy steep fines if it didn’t hand over the data.
You can’t say they didn’t try.
They have even appealed the judge’s threat to hold them in contempt. The envelope—yes, a physical envelope—containing the tweets at issue will remain sealed until that appeal is complete.
I’ve said it before: it may not be a good time to be a third-party Twitter developer, but the company truly goes to bat for its users when it’s appropriate.
