This Week in the News: A Facebook Alibi, a Twitter Newspaper and a New Hookup…

November 13th, 2009

Here is an interesting article that I found about a 19 year old who was accused of robbery and was able to use a Facebook post as an alibi. Even more interesting is the Twitter Times service that helped me find it.

If you ever wondered what worth there is in Twitter, Twitter Times will help you find it. This service helps you by combining the tweets of those you follow into a newspaper format. Twitter Times is now top on my list of Twitter aggregators. It pulls the links from those that you follow and makes the whole experience a lot easier to swallow!

Next up on the Twegenda…yet another hookup. Twitter and LinkedIn have hooked up, allowing users to cross-post. I think this is great for businesses and brands, but personally – I’m not sure if the details of the party you attended last night belong on LinkedIn.
