Twitter is finally coming of age, and is demonstrating why the microblogging medium is fast catching up to be the fastest news breaker in the world. Something like 7 hours back a huge earthquake struck in China. The earthquake measured 7.8 on the richter scale and thousands have been feared to be dead. The epicenter was 50 miles from Chengdu, which has about 10.5 million residents.

When I logged onto the internet the Twitterverse was completely busy with reports of the earthquake.

Hi Readers,

I am going on a vacation with my family today, so you probably won’t be seeing anything much for about a week from today. I’ll be back on the 16th, and hopefully bring you an overview of Macworld ‘08. I know i’ll be late, but there is nothing much I can do.

If possible Thilak from Tech Buzz would contribute some guests posts while I’m not here. Thanks a lot guys, for keeping up with dailyApps, I assure you once I’m back posting will resume full speed. Life’s been kinda hectic with Exams first and now a Vacation.

See you guys on the 17th. Cheers !!
