Twitter Surpasses 145 Million Registered Users
Buried in last night’s update on skyrocketing mobile usage , Twitter CEO Evan Williams revealed that the company now has more than 145 million registered users. The last time Twitter went on the record with member registrations, it was touting 105 million registered users . That stat came just four months ago, which makes last night’s reveal quite significant and proves that Twitter is adding nearly 300,000 new users per day, as previously disclosed. Of course, mobile plays a huge role in Twitter’s growth. Sixteen percent of new Twitter users now join via mobile device, as opposed to signing up on the web

New York’s Newest Law Aims to Protect Online Daters
It’s something you’d expect to hear from your mother, not your government, but New York’s newest laws are all about exercising common sense when looking for love online. Sounding like something between a schoolteacher and a public service announcement, the Internet safety act will require online dating websites to warn their users about the potential perils of web-based romance. The caveats seem like the kind of best practices any mindful Internet user would have internalized years ago. Things like not giving out your physical address and providing your own transportation on initial dates, for example, are no-brainers.

Twitter Mobile Usage Skyrocketed With “Official” Apps [STATS]
Since Twitter acquired Tweetie and rolled out an official iPhone client, the company has focused more and more on improving the mobile experience across all smartphone platforms. Twitter CEO Ev Williams wrote just now on the company blog that mobile usage of the site is up 62% since in just over four months, and 16% of all new Twitter users are starting out on mobile devices as opposed to web signups (this number is up from just 5% earlier this year). In the days before Twitter started issuing official apps on a platform-by-platform basis, the company wasn’t seeing the kind of mobile adoption it had hoped for. Williams wrote, “Even though there was a plethora of third-party Twitter apps, people were having trouble finding and selecting one because none were called ‘Twitter.’ This kept them from using Twitter at all.” The company adopted a new strategy for mobile; rather than leaving all the mobile app development to third parties, Twitter decided to consolidate efforts. In the short term, this caused some consternation for third-party devs; however, looking at Twitter’s stats, it’s clear the company did the right thing for its shareholders and bottom line

To Unfriend or Not to Unfriend: That Is the Facebook Question
We’ve all done it — surfed on over to the book of faces, our hearts racing and pupils dilating with excitement, let our cursors linger over those oh-so-powerful words, “Remove From Friends,” and clicked away with the maniacal glee of a serial killer. Still, there aren’t too many among us who have the skill, nay, the expertise to cut ties without cutting deep. At this point, some of you may be reminiscing about the sepia-tinged past, those glory days when, if you didn’t want to chill with Lucy “I Eat Paste” Smith anymore, all you had to do was ghost out of her life, letting the last tendrils of your friendship dissolve into the ether like wisps of smoke. Well, those days are as dead as Lucy’s creepy gray front teeth

Filmmaker Raises More than $34,000 for Pirate Bay Documentary
Documentary filmmaker Simon Klose has more than 200 hours of unedited footage that he plans turn into a feature-length film, The Pirate Bay — Away From Keyboard (TPB AFK). After years of documenting The Pirate Bay’s legal proceedings, and taping numerous encounters with the site’s three founders, Klose chose Kickstarter to bring his film to fruition. Klose intended to raise $25,000 in one month’s time to hire a professional editing studio. He met his goal in three days thanks to thousands of small donations from individual donors, and a little promotional support on The Pirate Bay home page. The TPB AFK project was launched on the evening of August 27
