Twitter’s new “While you were away” feature, which helps you catch up with some of the interesting things you might have missed while you were offline, is now available on Android through the official Twitter app.

Facebook is set to hold a press event later today, and it appears the whole thing’s going to be a massive kick in the teeth for Google. Not only is the social network expected to unveil its own smartphone, possibly powered by its own platform, but it’s also expected to hit Google where it really hurts — in search. Rumor has it the company will unveil its own search engine, which will rollout to users “very soon.”
