Yesterday the "ban hammer" struck one of the best known parody accounts on Twitter, @ceoSteveJobs. The account, well-known for its pithy and biting Apple-related tweets, had over 460,000 followers when GeekSmack first reported that the account had been suspended.

The account has likely angered its share of Apple fan boys and company execs, but it's not the content of the messages that (necessarily) got the account in trouble. Beginning January 1 this year, an "online impersonation law" went into effect in the state of California, banning people from assuming someone else's identity online in order to defraud or harm. Several commentators have suggested that the fake Steve Jobs account may have run afoul of the law or that Twitter received a "valid report" complaining of infringement.

We've heard tell that Facebook imposes a limit of 5000 friends. Really, just a measly 5000. They also keep doing pesky things like improving privacy controls. Well, we're sick of it! What if we want more friends and less privacy? If you're like us, you'll love nclüdr, a new social network that proudly proclaims to be the "most awesomest ultimate social network ever." That's a sentiment we're forced to agree with.
