Stuck in a public bathroom with no toilet paper, tissue, or even newspaper in sight? Just ask the Twitter community for help. A man in Japan did just that after finding himself in a similar situation.

More often social media are being used in the battle for human rights. Not so long ago CNN found a video on YouTube about an 8 year old bride. The story got worldwide exposure which eventually lead to the discontinuation of the marriage. The video was placed by Saudi activist Wajeha al-Huwaider .

Yahoo  is apparently still going full-force with its Twitter competitor, Yahoo Meme . The company has now bought up the oh-so-clever domain name, Me.me, from the .ME domain registry, which is based in the country of Montenegro . No word on how much Yahoo paid.

Micro-blogging service Twitter can be used to predict the future box-office takings of blockbuster films, according to researchers at Hewlett Packard (HP). The computer scientists studied 3 million messages - known as tweets - about 25 movies, including Avatar. They found the rate at which messages were produced could be used to accurately predict the box office takings before the film opened.

As tweeting is not officially supported by Google Reader you have to make the starred or tagged items public in order to share them in Twitter. What if you don’t want to share something with the public and still be able to inform it to your Twitter followers? Well Google Reader proves lame in this case. Let us see how you can share any feed item on Twitter without making it public. FeedDemon will save the day for you. If you read feeds its almost obvious that you know about FeedDemon. But, if you are not, FeedDemon is a free tool to accumulate and read feeds. You can synchronize the feeds with your Google Reader account as well.

Have long tweets to send but can't as Twitter only limits up to 140 characters per Tweet? This is when a cool start-up called BigTweet enables Twitterers to send tweets of up to 280 characters even if you're not on the profile page.

If you're a busy Twitterer who loves tweeting on Twitter and surfing the net for information simutaneouly, then I think Twhirl is suitable for you as you need not to keep refreshing your Twitter homepage to read updated tweets by followers. Twhirl is a desktop client developed on the Adobe AIR Platform for the microblogging platform - Twitter and also supports a few other services such as FriendFeed, identi.ca and seesmic. Twhirl looks like a replica of Twitter that has basic features such as posting and reading tweets, sending direct messages, and full profile information. However, I feel that Twhirl is much better than Twitter as it comes with more features like providing you sound notifications on new tweets, replies and direct messages, letting you post an image to TwitPic quickly, shorten long URLs, retweeting, search tweets and even timeline filtering. To differentiate general tweets, replies and direct messages, Twhirl has a color schme to ensure that you would not get con...
