    No Anonymous Cowards, for starters :) But on a more serious note, you can follow and be followed exactly like twitter except that you can publish a full-fledged post rather than a 140 char headline or note pointing to the actual post elsewhere. In this particular scenario, cuts a layer of middlemen.

    It isn't. If you're counting operating systems on mobile platforms, Android beats all the other smartphone platforms.

    Operating system share, Q4 2010

    * Android : 33%
    * Symbian : 31%
    * iOS : 16%
    * Blackberry : 14%
    * Windows Mobile : 3%
    * Other : 3%

      The Android kernel is a fork of Linux.
