Naked news - Lindsay Lohan goes a-twitter
Mention Lindsay Lohan and you will think of her lesbian connection and her naked news spreading across the universe. So what’s quicker than a Facebook or LinkedIn to get your visuals around? No, not Picasa or Flickr, but Twitter.
Yes, Lindsay has discovered this new way of shedding her inhibitions and grabbing eyeballs. She has gone topless on Twitter. But you can’t credit Lindsay for originality. She’s blonde, remember?
So how did she wisen up? Ashton Kutcher, baby. He was the first to make the most of Twitter and even posted his flame Demi Moore’s ass picture on Twitter.
Sometimes, celebritydom has its extremes. Once you become famous, you wonder how much more famous you can be in that much little time.
The chase continues… But then, that’s life. No chase, no gain.
Iran lifts block on Facebook
Good news: the Iranians can now surf on Facebook.
Iran restored access to Facebook Tuesday after blocking the popular website for four days.
As it’s often the case with the Iranian government, nothing is clear with this story.
The government didn’t say why it blocked access to Facebook last Saturday. It didn’t say why it decided to lift the block on Tuesday. And didn’t say if this lift is permanent or not.
Many people think the government blocked Facebook for electoral reasons. The electoral campaign is running strong right now in Iran, and the reformist opposition is massively using Facebook to reach the young Iranians (more than half the population of Iran was born after the 1979 Islamic Revolution).
In any case, this block should be seen as another sign of the control-freak regime put in place by President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. Iranian authorities often block websites what are considered going against the Islamic Regime.
Let’s just hope this ungracious strategy ends up going against those who used it to control their citizens and restrict their liberties.

Quizzing, anyone?
Quizzing can be very addictive. A new game application on India has been started by my friend Dan on Facebook. If you know about India or want to know about India, its heritage, mythology, culture, tradition, Bollywood, cricket and fashion, this could be your ticket to some interesting information.
Happy quizzing.
