  2. Matthew Buchanan: Big news overnight is the launch of Square, a mobile app supporting multiple devices that enables anyone to take credit card transactions without the hassle of merchant accounts or complicated fee structures. It’s the brainchild of Twitter inventor Jack Dorsey and with the likes of Buzz Andersen involved, it’s going to be huge. Impeccable website design by Bobby Andersen.

  4. Would You Gamble With Your Twitter Followers? →

    here are Twitter apps for just about everything – managing your account from your desktop, finding local tweeters, tweeting on-the-go, and more.

    The one we just stumbled across though, Bet Your Followers, is unlike any app we’ve ever encountered before.

    Bet Your Followers is part social experiment and part Twitter game. You compete head-on against other Twitter users. But instead of competing for points or cash, you’re gambling followers – your followers. Wager up to 5 followers per match. Win, and you gain new, legitimate followers. Lose, and your opponent gets to keep them.

    Yes, this game will really take and give you followers. Once a match starts, you have the opportunity to improve your chance of winning new followers by … shaking a giant gorilla.

    You compete through different rounds, playing against @BetYerFollowers to start. You do actually gain points for winning as well, which seems to affect the level of difficulty of each match.
