"Links" Weekend Edition: Gotta catch 'em all

♫ ♫ ♫ I wanna be the very best like no one ever was /
To catch them is my real test, to keep them is my cause.

I will travel across the tweets, searching far and wide /
'Cause when it comes to Twitter apps, Klout wasn't gamified.

Stolen app! (Gotta catch 'em all!) @KatyPerry is my destiny.
Stolen app! Trading handles in the throng, what could possibly go wrong?

Stolen app! (Gotta catch 'em all!) An app so weird, it was fated to disappear.
So long Stolen, it was real.
(Stolen appppp!!!!!) Gotta catch 'em all! ♫ ♫ ♫
