Tech news bites from around the web

Tech-based news bites from across the web

Have you heard about Google Nose – the new scentsation in search? Announced April 1st.  Also announced – Gmail Blue. Oh, and by the way, YouTube is being shut down. Apparently, for the past 8 years, YouTube has really been a contest for the best video.  Are you suspicious yet? You should be.

Twitter has announced a two-tier service, where vowels will cost.  After all, who needs vowels? Hello Twttr!
