It's the Monday after Thanksgiving / Black Friday, which means many people will dub today Cyber Monday, a horrendous marketing term that refers to yet another one of the busiest days of the year for retail.
And while Microsoft has been making many online shoppers happy the past few days with the Bing Cashback system, Google has now set up a special 'Checkout Deals' page where you can get discounts on products purchased using Mountain View's Internet payment system.

And as if to underline the fact , FriendFeed’s access to the Twitter firehose was terminated and vaguely replaced with a slow version that is currently delivering Twitter posts between 20 minutes and two hours after their appearance on Twitter . At the Realtime CrunchUp , Bret Taylor confirmed this was not a technical but rather a legal issue . Put simply , Twitter is choking FriendFeed to . death What’s odd about this is that most observers consider FriendFeed a failure , too complicated and user-unfriendly to compete with Twitter or Facebook . If Twitter believed that to be the case , why would they endeavor to kill it And if it were not a failure Then Twitter is trying to kill it for a good reason . That reason : FriendFeed exposes

We know that a beta version of Chrome for Mac is due at least by the end of December, but today brings more confirmation that it may be even closer than that. Mike Pinkerton, the guy leading the Chrome for Mac team, has just tweeted out that there are only "8 remaining M4 Mac beta blockers! Go team!"
This means that there are only 8 things standing in the way of Chrome for Mac going beta. "M4" stands for "milestone 4," which is how they phrase "version 4," which the Mac beta build of Chrome will be (the current dev channel version is 4.0.249.12, for example).
Earlier this month we did a preview of Tweetie 2.1, the latest version of the popular iPhone Twitter client. Today, it has just hit the App Store as a free download for Tweetie 2 owners. While the .1 increment may make it seem like this update isn't that big of a deal, the latest version actually packs a number of big updates.
Previously, we went over the way Tweetie 2.1 integrates new-style Retweets and Geotagging, but another big addition that developer Loren Brichter was able to squeeze in is new Twitter List support. While it's perhaps not as obvious as it should be (it's in the "more" tab at the bottom of the app), Lists are not only viewable in Tweetie 2.1, but you can edit/create them as well.
