Weekend read: My weekly share on Twitter, with favorites

I'm winding up the week leading a communications training for faculty experts at San Francisco State University today, so this week has been one of tweeting-while-traveling for me. And I'll be back here next month to do my new train-the-trainers session for communciators who work with experts. I'm @dontgetcaught on Twitter, and here are the things that caught my eye on that platform, still my favorite source, this week:

• Mobile grows: Mobile app use has surpassed web browsing, as measured in time spent.
• Social media ages well: One-fifth of grandparents use some form of social networking. Show this to the next person who refers to social media users as teenagers.
• Metro-Goldwyn-You: Flixlab is an iPhone app that lets you create movies...and if your friends use it, you can edit their clips into your movie.
• Email in the dust? Indians are now using social networks more than personal email. A harbinger? Here's a great infographic comparing social media use in different parts of the world.
• New model: PressForward attempts to get scholarly publishing and new media journalsim to work together. Not quite peanut butter and chocolate....but worth watching.
• Just for fun: It's not the nicest comments barrier out there, but some days, you might be tempted to use this one.

And some favorites for later reading:

• If you use an iPad to present, check out Meeting Mngr Pro so you can interact with your audience and share voting, documents and more.
• I heard you like embargoes...
