Twitter's privacy lost, teens' purity found (in the iPhone app store).

As I finish a few weeks of nonstop travel, Luckie intern Whitney Sides Mitchell keeps the blog stocked with her weekly roundup of social media news, The Social Pathology Report:

This week has been a rough one.

It was jamp-acked with top secret business plans falling from the cloud, entire new OSes in the works and yet another reason to show off your iPhone.

• People from all over gather behind a worthy cause: the complete obliteration of IE6. [Mashable]
• App-stinence: Someone just getting a little too close at the weekend BBQ? Give 'em a little peek at your newest download: a Purity Ring app. [Switched]
• UNBELIEVABLE: Twitter's entire internal strategy was stored using Google Docs. As our IT guy clenches in horror, I'm sure you can imagine what happens (or gets emailed to all 300-400 contacts) next. [TechCrunch]
• Despite the aforementioned security fiasco, I return to Google for a fix of their newest innovations: an entire Google operating system and Google Reader's addition of social tech! [Google OS blog]
