Rep. John Culberson (R - Texas) made news for his Twitter feed. He began posting on the micro-blogging site in late May with the post ‘I just learned how to Twitter!’ and hasn’t looked back since. Now, he’s gotten into a public flame war with fellow Twitterer Tim Ryan (D - Ohio) about oil policy. [via Sunlight Foundation]

Meanwhile, a busy Facebook user created ten profiles pages, each with 200 friends, and placed them for sale on eBay, ostensibly to be used for marketing purposes. The listing was later removed. [via Adrants]

Surveillance and celebrity came together when this young man stole a chain from a teenager in south-east London and then tried it on, using a CCTV camera as a mirror. [via BBC News]
