"American teenagers sent and received an average of 2,272 text messages per month in the fourth quarter of 2008, according to the Nielsen Company - almost 80 messages a day, more than double the average of a year earlier.

Twitter just went through an awful 24-hour stretch. It included taking away a feature some people loved, probably being misleading about it, getting a huge amount of backlash, halfway bringing the feature back, and getting railed by the press for it all - with bouts of downtime mixed in for good measure.

Unlike Google's traditional search results, the spreadsheet experiment, called "Google Squared", doesn't simply show a set of web links related to a search request. Instead, it fishes through Google's massive database to organize pertinent facts and other content in rows and columns.
