I love Twitter for many reasons -- in many ways, I’m in a relationship with it. But one of the things I value the most is the insight it has given me into the lives of my fellow human beings.

This is either insanely cool, or just plain insane. We're not 100% sure which.

Google Maps is back on the app store, and it looks like it's once again stolen the march on Apple.When Apple decided to abandon Google's mapping service in favour of its own, things didn't work out so well.
