OK folks, if you want to receive updates from the White House, they have created a new Twitter account, a spin off from Obama’s Twitter feed during the elections. Of course, it goes without saying that you can subscribe to their feed also through your mobile phone.

Which brings me to ask — do you actually turn on mobile updates for your Twitter feed, or is it really just one big mess? I used to turn it on — but realized it was such a hassle having to keep up with so many messages involuntarily as they were pushed to my phone.

Open Clip is an open source project that allows copy + paste functionality within an iPhone. Because the iPhone still cannot do native copy + paste, a project called Open Clip was launched by the hardworking developer community staunched to fix the small imperfections that Apple seems to miss out on.

Open Clip is neat. What it is really is some sort of plugin which you can associate with certain applications – but from a developer level. Open Clip resides in a “shared space” of the iPhone without tampering with your current apps. The catch is that every developer must program Open Clip to work into their application. So the key to it is adoption but I personally think that this is by far the easiest solution to a copy and paste function … and more! Open Clip also allows you to do WYSIWYG and HTML recognition. Meaning, if for example an entire Tweet from Twitter is copied, as seen from the video, pasting it on an app that recognizes Open Clip allows you to see the entire Tweet, formatted as it was, including the photo!
