Well at least the prize didn't go to Twitter... He still has the power to start a major war against any country in the next few years. How ironic would this be then?

True. But I shall not applaud them for it.

Why? Because they're biased with the information they present to their users? When I see a suggested user list, I want the a list of users whom I would like to follow. Not a list of users who are popular and have not pissed of twitter. Ok s
