Haven't gotten your fill of TV shows based on single-serving Twitter feeds? (If so, you're probably alone.) After the disappointing '$#*!

But less than a month after Twitter fanatic Ashton Kutcher landed the deal for 'Don't Tell Steve,' the ...

Highlights from this morning's other big tech headlines....

Earlier today, we wrote about a monumental turning point in Twitter's history. No, the site hasn't been purged of its chronic downtime (fail whale), and obnoxious "social networking media marketing mavens" haven't been banished; instead, the All-Powerful Oprah began tweeting (@oprah). The day-time hostess announced yesterday via Facebook that she would begin using the microblogging site today. ...

If you're like most movie fans, you spent your Sunday night glued to the television watching award after award get handed out between endless strings of montages. But, a growing number of online fans used the social service Twitter to get a glimpse behind the scenes, thanks to a number of celebrity tweeters.

Not content to just make terrible films and older women, Ashton Kutcher is getting into the gossip market with a new blog called Blahgirls.
