Ashton Kutchner Becomes Top Tweet

Actor Ashton Kutchner has become the first person to achieve one million followers on Twitter. Kutcher triumphed over CNN in their much ballyhooed race to be the first to reach a million followers on the micro blogging Web site. Kutchner surpassed that benchmark in the early morning hours Friday [17th], narrowly edging out the breaking news feed from the Time Warner Inc-owned network.

We have shown the world that the new wave is here. It is present and it is ready to explode. You guys are all of it because I can't follow me.

Those are the words of Kutchner, a proud revolutionary, the new savior of our planet, spoken in a live webcast.

Britney Spears is close behind and a new-comer to the scene, Oprah Winfrey has started strong and already passed the 100,000 mark.

Tweet is sweet, explosion is imminent, the new wave has come.

Google Car Chased by Property Conscious Villagers

I have always thought seeing your home in Google Maps is cool. The residents of Broughton, just north of London, UK, disagree, however. As one resident has pointed out:

"This is an affluent area. We've already had three burglaries locally in the past six weeks. If our houses are plastered all over Google it's an invitation for more criminals to strike. I was determined to make a stand, so I called the police."

So, Google's ambitious plan to offer a 3-D street level view of communities across three continents seems to have failed as far as Broughton is concerned. The Google camera car has been chased away and nobody including the thieves are aware that there are interesting targets in the village, even after the story hits every media outlet in the planet.
