The most Mind-bending, complicated way to un-follow someone on Twitter
This is a video from a guy named Robert, who has about 90 videos on Youtube as of now — covering a wide range of topics to help you keep up with the tech world.

The new Twitter is coming, in a few hours
The new Twitter is coming, in a few hours
This is going to be an eventful night, and a crazy week. Twitter is rolling out one of the largest updates ever seen in a social network — using the same methods as the Twitter iPad app, they will allow you to view a conversation by clicking on a tweet, and use it as a threaded conversation. They are also planning to implement multimedia inside the stream, with media partnerships with 16 companies.
