Move over 60-Day debaters; it seems that China has come to steal the spotlight with their “Great Firewall of China.” But even in the midst of international security gone awry, we do have some things to look forward to—mainly the iPhone and Google Wave. Read about all of that and more in this week’s Twitter digest.
