By Elizabeth Flock Nearly four months after founder of the PostSecret blog Frank Warren launched an iPhone app to allow users to anonymously post and peruse secrets on their phones, he has shut the app down. Warren cites the submission of “content that was not just pornographic but also gruesome and at times threatening.” (PostSecret) In a blog post, Warren explains that anonymity on the app made it “very challenging” for volunteers to “remove determined users with malicious intent,” even if they accounted for only 1 percent of the submissions. Internet trolls, or people who use an online identity for specific abusive purposes, have long stirred up trouble on message boards and discussion groups, but this may be the first time they’ve brought down an iPhone app. Controlling bullying online has long been a battleground for Web site administrators and, increasingly, for authorities offline. In September, a young man in Britain who targeted Facebook tribute pages to taunt the de...

Summary:  The Summly application could become the next must-have for students. Its teenage creator has secured a large investment for future development. British teenager Nick D’Aloisio, designer of the ‘Summly’ app, has secured investment with a Hong-Kong based company. Summly is an iPhone application that summarises and simplifies the content of web pages. Advertised as ‘a simple way to browse the web’, the 16-year old found inspiration for the app while studying for a history exam. D’Aloisio found the current search options available online as inefficient, and this provoked the idea for the iPhone app.  The developer said : “I thought that what I needed was a way of simplifying and summarising these web searches.
