snitty writes "Wil Shipley, developer of Delicious Library, found some applications on the iTunes App Store that were using without permission some images from his popular desktop application. He outed them on Twitter. The team at Technically Legal broke down the story and the take-home messages for using other people's images."

    How is this special? I mean really? It is just a shitty blog service that has been self gimped.

    Headlines:
    Man with missing toe kills wife!
    Bald woman overcomes her fear of deep water
    Building painted yellow falls down
    Mice like Cheese, President shot!
    Slashdotter has sex!

    ... Wait that last one makes sense. Point still stands. The story isn't special because of twitter. Just people that use twitter are 'special'.
