Just when we’ve finally gotten over the Kim Kardashian/Kris Humphries split, it looks like there’s a new national nightmare to keep us up at night — Ashton Kutcher has quit Twitter. Deep breath. We’ll get through this together.

Buffalo Bills’ linebacker Kirk Morrison traded a 20-year-old Canadian business student with the same name as his to an NFL game experience in exchange for the Twitter handle @kirkmorrison.

Attendees at the Facebook f8 keynote on Thursday got a special treat when ‘Saturday Night Live’ star Andy Samberg took the stage and did his finest Mark Zuckerberg impression.

Hell hath no fury like a scorned ghostwriter. So learned Mark Davidson, an “internet sales and marketing professional” with more than 56,000 followers. His bio also says he “write a lot of things to amuse myself and others” and that he sometimes has “deep thoughts.” Only it turns out he’s not the one writing the amusing things or having the deep thoughts — those are coming from an alleged staff o

Despite the whining about the launch of their “top stories” feature this week, Facebook unveiled and even bigger change at the company’s F8 developer conference in San Francisco: Timeline.
