There's no shortage of places to catch up on the latest Election Day coverage, but Twitter is aiming to make it easier for political junkies to get news by creating a one-stop shop Election 2012 event page.

Curated by Twitter, the page is loaded with tweets from the presidential candidates, political parties, and news sources such as the Electoral College, CNN, and the Washington Post.

"It highlights tweets from candidates and their staffers, media, and other key players so you can hear directly from those close to the action," Rachael Horwitz, Twitter's senior manager of communications, … Read more

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.--Few Silicon Valley companies have ever embraced a political party as passionately as Google has. Its executive chairman, Eric Schmidt, has been described as a "kind of guru" to President Obama's campaign manager, and Google employees emerged as the No. 2 donor to the Democratic National Committee in the last election.

The search giant's long-term vision isn't merely relegated to getting users the best answers on the desktop; it's about providing a consistent experience no matter the location or the device.

The Googleplex can't be a happy place today.

After the company's third-quarter earnings were released several hours prematurely -- the fault, Google says, of publisher RR Donnelly -- investors started dumping the stock. The search giant missed earnings estimates as big losses at Motorola contributed to a 20 percent drop in overall profit.

After a draft press release of Google's third-quarter earnings with a placeholder for a quote from CEO Larry Page leaked out prematurely, an enterprising parodist created a "Pending Larry" twitter feed. Page joins Big Bird and Romney binders in the realm of recent Twitter parody feeds.

Google's stock tanked about 9 percent before trading stopped at midday following the accidental leak of the release. The company posted earnings of $9.03 a share on revenue of $11.33 billion, missing expectations for $10.65 a share on sales of $11.… Read more

After a several month hiatus, Google's CEO Larry Page made his first public appearance today at his company's annual Zeitgeist conference in Arizona, according to the Wall Street Journal.

Page spoke to an audience of hundreds of people about the company's recent affairs, such as its battle with Apple over maps, its dealings with antitrust regulators, and Google's specialized services.
