As Twitter is growing in popularity each and every month, more people are looking to the mobile web for entertainment. Whether it be waiting online at the bank or supermarket, or even relaxing at a relatives house with some time to kill, mobile phones are making it easier for us to connect with the entire web.

With iPhone sales launching through the roof, we can only see how mobile Twitter clients will become more and more useful. As Twitter has officially purchased Tweetie to be their “official” application, it’s made it difficult to developers to break into the market. However I just downloaded Twitterrific the other day, and I’m blown away by such enhanced functionality.

Digg is one of my, if not the #1 favorite social news site to date. Wracking up tens of millions of pageviews monthly, Digg, Inc. is a dominant force on the web which has only seen constant and substantial growth. Keeping up with your friend’s submissions on the site can get a bit tricky, but with Sub Digger+ the whole process is made very easy.

Once at the page, all you do is plug in your Digg username and hit “enter”. The app will take a few seconds to load, as it’s contacting Digg’s API and retrieving all of your friend’s latest submissions from the past 24 hrs. After a few moments of loading, you’ll be displayed with your first story and some more details in a toolbar below.

Netvibes is an amazing startup application founded back in 2005. It allows you to create a personal dashboard which you can log into, and from your account page you can set up whatever content you’d like to see. Aggregated RSS feeds, real-time tweets and trending topics, e-mails, podcasts, and a whole lot more. It’s a revolution of social media and networking!

It’s an interesting application, to say the least. It has many features you don’t find on other social apps, and it allows combination of information like never before. I haven’t seen any mobile implementation as of yet, though I would like to see an app for the iPhone come out.

Google has recently released the beginning of a small API working with Google Buzz. There have been plenty of issues with Google Buzz’s widget, and many other sites made their own to fill the gap. However with this newest release even Mashable has updated their Buzz widgets.

The new button looks similar to many of the other counter-style widgets we’ve seen. It’s got the Buzz logo with a live count in the main circle, and there’s also a smaller more compressed version similar to Facebook’s share widget. You can customize your site and your button from the Official Buzz API page, where you can choose from follow buttons or share widgets.

In a recent blog post entitled simply “Update from Jay“, it has been officially announced that Jay Adelson will be stepping down as Digg’s CEO after 5 prosperous and amazing years. Jay has done an amazing job as CEO, and I firmly believe Digg wouldn’t hold it’s current success status today if it wasn’t for his ideas and inspiration.

Although Jay doesn’t state any specific reasons for this choice, he does have virtue and motive to do so. As quoted FTA, “With the new Digg getting ready to launch, Digg Ads doing well, our sales force growing, our hiring ramping, and the company maturing well beyond its startup phase, I feel that now is the right time.”

As many fans of the popular social media blog Mashable know, over the past month or 2 they have been messing around with a new Google Buzz button. Allowing you to share stories over Google Reader which publish into Google Buzz, this small widget has grown in popularity and it seems like every blogger is looking for one!

The problem is, Google hasn’t released any official API for Buzz yet and many are struggling to get any widget working properly. Code hasn’t been released by Mashable or any other blogs running similar buttons, but thanks for a great service at Njuice, you can add a few lines of JavaScript to add a Google Buzz widget right into your blog, just like Mashable!

Just a few weeks ago I got a great interview with the creator of IconFinder.net, one of the only free icon search engines online. Recently I’ve come across another one which has just as many great icons shared, plus the ability to log in and save your favorite sets!

FindIcons.com is my latest breakthrough, and from what I can tell the site is growing wildly. They’ve got a perfectly functioning search bar, which crawls through over 280,000 icons for any tags or keywords you type. You can also sort the results by size, further tags, or even set ranges of sizes.
