So much Twitter news to cover. Twitter PR (or whoever is left) creates a blog post that says everything is actually okay. In the meantime, brands are still concerned about their safety on Twitter, especially with the botched verification process. Layoffs and resignations abound.

At the same time, Post News, Mastadon and Hive are all growing like crazy.

In other news, Pinterest kills its creator rewards program. Are there more to come?

Rants and raves include the 10 best books to read and Ben Affleck.
