Twitter and Facebook Integration Missing Link
So I’m sitting around using facebook and twitter on my phone using the Blackberry app SocialScope (awesome, btw) which allows me to pass an update to both Facebook and Twitter.

A (Possible) Paradox In Christianity
Out of respect, I had to wait until after Christmas to point out this. What’s the most stolen book at bookstores? The Bible. To quote the article, “Apparently the thieves have not yet read the “Thou shalt not steal” part”.

MVPuppets - Brilliant!
For me the best advertising is something that grabs your attention, makes you want to talk about it, and is memorable.
