Following last month's acquisition of Whisper Systems, Twitter is open sourcing 'some' of the company's Android security products (http://www.itworld.com/security/234715/twitter-open-source-android-security-tech). First up: TextSecure, a text messaging client that encrypts messages. Souce code is on GitHub (https://github.com/whispersystems) now. 'Offering the technology to the community so soon after the acquisition could indicate that Twitter made the acquisition primarily for the developer talent,' writes IDG News Service's Nancy Gohring."
