For many of us (myself included), Twitter has quickly become the "go to" place for insightful and witty tweets about all of the latest in the tech world. I've compiled a number of tweets from the last few weeks that sum up what I saw as some of the more interesting news of late.

Rumors Spread About PlayBook Discontinuing

BGR (Boy Genius Report): RIM to discontinue BlackBerry PlayBook?

BlackBerry (Research in Motion): @BGR Pure fiction. No plan to discontinue. In fact, WiFi PlayBook is launching in new countries practically every week.

Mac OS X Lion "Roars" on the Scene

joetusin (Joe Tusin): Lion set free; Apple Mac OS X 10.7 love/hate review @ComputerWorld 

BrentO (Brent Ozar): OS X Lion is wearing me down. I find myself flipping my finger up & down on the mouse guessing which way to scroll. No clue.

gujord (Roger Gujord): Installed Mac OS X 10.7 "Lion". QuickTime 7 Pro is not supported in Lion :-( Any good alternatives?

Edbott (Ed Bott): If you used "Lion roars" in your hed today, you earn a week's detention in Lazy Headline Writer's Jail.

Jsjxyz (Jerry S. Justianto): Just marking all "Linkedin Connections" email as SPAM in Gmail.

Kylotan (Ben Sizer): Unemployed people should copy my LinkedIn profile. I get as many unsolicited recruiter contacts as spam emails these days.

And Many More Tech Updates

AngryPets (Michael K. Campbell): Wow. Killer. I just switched a CLR assembly from .NET 2.0 to .NET 4.0 in Denali CTP3 without it missing a beat.

danholme (Dan Holme): AvePoint Introduces New Features for #SharePoint Management, Protection & Custom Applications with DocAve v5.7
