Trillian iPhone App's Been Stuck in App Store Limbo for 60 Days
Trillian, you know, Trillian? They submitted an IM app for the iPhone over two months ago, and there's been not-a-word from Apple about it. They musta made somebody mad, since Apple says the average review time's two weeks. [Cerulean] -

Email is Dead? Oh Really?
The WSJ is making the call—email isn't as important as social networks. It's an interesting conclusion, derived from the fact that both growth and absolute numbers are on the side of social networking this year. That's kind of weird. More » -

Rumor: T-Mobile Will Allow Blocking of Text Messages, Maybe Calls
There's no official confirmation yet, but TMONews says that T-Mobile is working on a system to let its users block SMS, MMS, email and IMs from other users one at a time through a call to customer care or a visit to a retail store. It's unclear whether you can block calls, which would be even better thanks to annoying automated calling systems that somehow call you for days on end but don't say anything. Is T-Mobile the first provider to activate call and message blocking? Why don't more providers do this? [TMONews] -

Picture Frame Shows Which of Your IM and Skype Friends Are Online
We absolutely love it when cyberspace and meatspace intersect, which is why we're enthused over this Online Notification Picture Frame. It's a DIY project that connects via some interface (the guy doesn't say) to a computer, which feeds online status information back to the display. If a person's online, the LED next to his photo lights up. We'd prefer it if this were a more digital solution like an actual photo frame that dynamically displayed the pictures of people who were online, but this is a good start.
