Creator of Twitter for Mac and iOS, Loren Brichter leaves Twitter

Yesterday, the original creator of Tweetie Loren Brichter announced that he will be leaving Twitter.

Fittingly, he announced his departure from the company via his personal Twitter account, stating that he will be “taking some time to figure out what’s next.”  — More after the break!

New Okay Geek - The blog we've always wanted (Announcement)

Three years ago I started a new blog, and for months I had absolutely no clue what I was doing. There was no sense of it going anywhere because it was basically me rambling on (incoherently) about technology, all by myself. Quite literally, it may have been the worst technology blog on the internet and knowing that I was just going to throw in the towel, but not a moment too soon I noticed something important. All of the worlds most loved blogs and publications all have one thing in common, and that’s a team. I didn’t see myself as a leader and I had no concept of running a 10 person team. I also didn’t know we’d be here together, 3 years later, with something this amazing to show everyone.

Nokia Maps with 3D buildings and trees, answer to Google Maps

Google Maps is incredible with satellite views, streetview and the clarity of the images, not to mention all the awesome tools that have been built using Google Maps. There hasn’t been another map service that offers something unique outside of what Google Maps already offers, until now. Along comes Nokia 3D Maps using WebGL to turn a flat world into one filled with 3D buildings, trees and rocks — all running inside your browser (Google chrome only for now). More after the break!

Founders of Skype and Rdio are bent on taking Netflix on with VDio

For the past couple of years Hulu and Netflix have been, for the most part, our only options for streaming the latest movies and tv shows to our set-top devices (Roku, Xbox, PS3, HTPC). But what if there was a third player in the game? Someone who wanted to shake things up by offering newly released movies and tv shows that neither of the former two services can provide? Well, that’s what VDio is hoping to do. — More after the break!

Del.icio.us lives and comes 'stacked' with new features

When I heard the news a year ago that Yahoo would be shutting down Delicious, I was shocked. Suddenly, bookmarks I had been haphardzly collecting for years were in jeopardy. After trying various sites such as Diphur, and Zootool, I was close to settling on Firefox Sync—but then the YouTube crew had to go and do the unthinkable; buy Delicious. Now Delicious is back (or never left), with a new graphical interface and a fresh new idea that might be worth a second look. — More after the break!

Following the history of Twitter - Infographic

Twitter is one of those companies that seemed to have a long fuse, and didn’t really move anywhere for a while. It was only until a few years ago that the fuse ran short, and Twitter quite literally exploded into one of the most popular social networking sites, and really gave way for more internet startups. It’s been a crazy ride and there’s no sign of Twitter slowing down anytime soon, so lets take a look at what’s gotten Twitter to where they are today.
