Clearing the Cache: @Diplomacy

- Grumpa Obama pluralizes Twitter as "Twitters," and jokes that with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev now on the watchamacallit, "We may finally be able to get rid of those red phones." If this were golf, we'd call the Fail Whale joke a gimme.
- Speaking of Twitters, the Federal Trade Commission announced that the company has, reports National Journal, "settled charges that the social networking service failed to protect consumer privacy by providing inadequate security for user information."
- Give Congress iPads.
- The State Department wants to give out grant money for social media work in the Middle East.
- I'd totally vote for Cliff Webb if there were any chance dude was actually over 30.
- WPA font awesomeness from the Library of Congress.
- Crowdsourcing Goldman.
- People really seem to like Elana's Inbox...
- Even though Matt Yglesias searched it and curiously found no mentions of Sharia.
- Fundraising on Foursquare?
- And a contest to see whether, indeed, America's Got Net.
