I actually think that archiving tweets in the Library of Congress is a great way to show the history and culture of our society, because I've often found searching keywords on Twitter an interesting way to see public opinion forming on a current event.

Contrary to your misguiding link title, all *public* tweets are archived, which makes it not a privacy issue because they are only archiving what has already been made public to the internet.

This is a pretty small investment relative to the amount of money that goes through our government, so I think this is overall a solid idea.

Devised as a "warning shot" to "distract suspected pirates rather than harm them", the meter-wide bean can scan the pirates' 6-metre skiffs and make it difficult for them to aim their AK-47 or rocket-propelled grenades at the ship.

'In fact, as I read the situation, we are witnessing the beginning of the end of Facebook. These aren't the symptoms of a company that is winning, but one that is cashing out.' Rushkoff, who made a similar argument about AOL eleven years ago in a quashed NY Times op-ed, reminds us that AOL was also once considered ubiquitous and invincible, and former AOL CEO Steve Case was deemed no less a genius than Mark Zuckerberg. 'So it's not that MySpace lost and Facebook won,' concludes Rushkoff. 'It's that MySpace won first, and Facebook won next. They'll go down in the same order.'"
