Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez

Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez can no longer deny a romantic relationship after their PDA session on the beach. Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez have sort of gone public with their romantic relationship. After spotted coming hand-in-hand to the Vanity Fair Oscar after-party on Sunday, the couple further showed off their affection to each other outside Sunset Tower in West Hollywood, California.

Bieber has already bid adieu to the private fun life for some time now and it appears Selena Gomez too have to do that. Recently the alleged couple planned to go on a movie date at the Burbank movie theatre and the paparazzi was there too. In spite of going in incognito into the theatre on Thursday, when they came out watching the R-rated Natalie Portman flick No Strings Attached the photographers were there to make a film out of the young singers.

Twitter Alleges Trademark Infringement

Recently, Twitter suspended two of its affiliates Twidroid and Uber Twitter for alleged trademark infringement and privacy violations. The interesting thing is that it appears that UberMedia, the owner and operator of the third-party Twitter applications Twidroid and Uber Twitter, is buying up a roster of apps that may possibly compete with Twitter in the future. The company started as a client of Twitter that provided applications to enhance Twitter’s functions.
Carolyn Penner, official spokesperson for Twitter issued this statement, which seems to downplay the suspension:

“We ask all developers in Twitter ecosystem to abide by a simple set of rules that are in the interests of our users, as well as the health and vitality of the platform as a whole.

We often take actions to enforce these rules; in fact, on an average day we turn off more than one hundred services that violate our API rules of the road. This keeps the ecosystem fair for everyone.

Today we suspended several applications, including UberTwitter, twidroyd and UberCurrent, which have violated Twitter policies and trademarks in a variety of ways. These violations include, but aren’t limited to, a privacy issue with private Direct Messages longer than 140 characters, trademark infringement, and changing the content of users’ Tweets in order to make money.

We’ve had conversations with UberMedia, the developer of these applications, about policy violations since April 2010, when they first launched under the name TweetUp – a term commonly used by Twitter users and a trademark violation. We continue to be in contact with UberMedia and hope that they will bring the suspended applications into compliance with our policies soon.”

Social Web sites such as Twitter and Facebook will probably become increasingly aggressive in their protection of trademarks, as the market for social networking applications and services continues to diversify.
