Conservative Sen. Jim DeMint is resigning, and Stephen Colbert wants the job. All he wants us to do is tweet #SenatorColbert at Gov. Nikki Haley.

“Tweet @nikkihaley & tell her why I belong in the US Senate. For one, I wouldn’t just block legislation, I’d body-check it! #SenatorColbert”
For our money, we want Alvin Greene back in. Here’s why:
Twitter now allows you to e-mail tweets from the web: Because this makes sense as a feature introduction in 2012, apparently.

Twitter Hacked? Company Resets Some Passwords
Some Twitter users received emails Thursday from the social media company stating that their account may have been compromised after a potential security breach.
“Twitter believes that your account may have been compromised by a website or service not associated with Twitter. We’ve reset your password to prevent others from accessing your account,” the email stated.Twitter also stated in the email that users should not reuse their old password and should create a new password that included a combination of letters, numbers and symbols.
The company also recommended that users check their browser’s address bar when visiting the Twitter website to make sure the URL is indeed Twitter’s legitimate site.
“Phishing sites often look just like Twitter, so check the URL before entering your login information!” the company said in the email.
Twitter did not immediately respond for comment.

Well, Ms. Coulter, you, and society, need to learn that being compared to people like me should be considered a badge of honor. No one overcomes more than we do and still loves life so much.John Franklin Stephens, a Special Olympics athlete and “global messenger” • Responding to Ann Coulter’s insensitive tweet about the presidential debate this week. “I wondered if you meant to degrade him as someone who is likely to receive bad health care, live in low grade housing with very little income and still manages to see life as a wonderful gift,” Stephens continued, “because, Ms. Coulter, that is who we are — and much, much more.” source
Amidst all the Twitter vs. developers hoopla, Tapbots has made another brilliant app. With Twitter itself stopping support for their Mac client, there’s no doubt that this is the best way to use Twitter natively on a Mac.
Yes, it’s $19.99, but if you use Twitter as much as I do, it’s well worth it. And Tapbots actually pushes the native client forward with retina display support and get this, syncing of DM read statuses over iCloud (amazingly, Twitter itself still has no way to do this).
Paid the $20. Why not support the developers, especially since we use the app?

People have Plato’s form in their mind of what a leader is, or what a CEO is, and it is a bunch of elements that I really don’t conform to at all. I’ve given this a lot of thought, and I came to the conclusion that I don’t care.Twitter CEO Dick Costolo • Discussing why he’s not your average CEO by any stretch of the imagination. Shocker, right? Well, how many CEOs do you know that had a career in improvisational comedy before moving into the world of startups? Costolo only got into the game in an effort to fund his comedy career, then ended up selling three of his startups along the way, including FeedBurner, which Google bought for $100 million in 2007. Good piece from the New York Times, though it’s disappointing that the piece didn’t discuss the API controversy at length.
The flow of tweets during last night’s debate: Jim Lehrer’s smackdown of Romney (“Let’s not”) was the highest-flying moment of the evening, though Obama’s “I had five seconds” was directly behind. (ht Hypervocal)
The next victim of Twitter’s API policy? The great IFTTT, which may be forced to change its name to “If This Then Nothing” in regards to Twitter. (via e-mail)
