Bravo, AL. But - and I must mention this - Twitter rules. Join us!

Oh and this happened: student ‘Twitters’ his way out of Egyptian jail.

This harks back to a sentiment I uttered immediately after having joined Twitter myself - how long until someone tries to use the service as an alibi in a court of law?

It’s been a couple weeks…but the Friday Roundup is back. Ready?

Happy Weekending!
