Diddy starts yet another new trend. Although this one isn't one he probably wanted to start. After hitting 1 million followers, Sean "Diddy" Combs started seeing a backlash of "unfollowdiddy" tweets on the microblogging site. Interesting to see if this affects company brands in the future.

WTF are the implications of Google buying Twitter?

* integration of Twitter in Google search
* Twitter search being run by Google
* Twitter comments integrated with Google Alerts
* learn more for TrustRank through interrelationship of users

Most obvious place that Google would implement Twitter could be within Gmail just like they did w/ chat.
