We use a Twitter quite a bit here at Redmond Pie, and between the editorial staff here there are a few favorite apps across a selection of mobile platforms.

Since we’re a technology blog, we’ll be covering different Cyber Monday deals throughout the day. In this post, we’ve listed Cyber Monday deals on Microsoft products which you can check out after the break!
All things considered, it's been a pretty solid year for Microsoft. With Xbox 360 + Kinect still selling like hotcakes, allied to Windows 8 being greeted warmly by PC users far and wide, the Redmond-based company's mobile OS has now been acknowledged as the 'Operating System Of The Year'.
