Can a Nook Kill a Kindle?
Aside from being a self-confessed iPhone addict, another gadget that fascinates me is e-book reader. Well, I should be.

Follow DailyBits on Twitter
The Internet is evolving pretty fast, and we need to keep abreast of new trends when possible. Perhaps the greatest phenomenon that we saw emerging over the last couple of years is Twitter. It started as a messaging and micro-blogging tool used by a few tech pioneers, and now it is everywhere, from companies that are using it to sell goods to celebrities who adopted it to keep in touch with their fans.
Twitter is also creating a new way to absorb and stay updated with online content, much like RSS and web feeds did years ago. Considering that we decided to create a Twitter account for our blog, where you will get updates whenever a new post is published (with a link to it).
You can follow the DailyBits Twitter account here: @dailybit
And yes, someone had already registered @dailybits…. Apparently there is a blog in Belgium with the same name. Not a big deal, as that blog is probably sending some traffic to us when its readers end up typing .com instead of .be.
