Digg Digg Brings All Social Media Buttons Into One Plugin

Most blogs these days have Social media buttons which allow you to retweet the post via TweetMeme or Topsy. Blogs also add Facebook and Digg buttons for users to post via Facebook or Digg the post. This makes retweeting/posting easy for the user, but sometimes it gets aggravating for the blog owner. They need to install 4 or 5 different plugins, each for the different social networks they want to support, and sometimes the buttons don't look very well together. They also can overlap each other, ...

PleaseRobMe.com lets the world know when you aren’t home

Do you like to play Foursquare? For those that do not know, Foursquare is an iPhone or Blackberry game that allows users to "check-in" at venues and then tweets what venue you are at to Twitter. Sounds like a harmless, fun game right? Well it was, until someone created a site called PleaseRobMe.com. PleaseRobMe.com is a site that pulls Foursquare's check-ins, and tells the world who is not at home. It also labels that user as a new "opportunity" to rob them. Foursquare still sounding fun to you...

100,000,000 mobile Facebook users, own phone to come next?

Facebook revealed on Wednesday that more than 100m people use the social network on their mobile phones every month. That’s around a quarter of their total membership. As seems to be the norm for Facebook at the moment, even with such big numbers, the growth rate is huge – in September it had 65m mobile users. That suggests the number is likely to double annually. “We work with every major device manufacturer and many operators to ensure that we can provide the best possi...

First Thoughts: Facebook’s 2010 Interface Revamp

Facebook has reached over 400 Million users recently, so most of you if not all of you have heard about the new changed Facebook has made to their user interface. I waited until Today to do a review on it because I just recently got the new Facebook UI. Slowly Facebook is giving users the new layout. As of today, a lot of people got it, only a few are left to get the new design. I'm sure by the end of the week, everyone should have the new layout! First Thoughts: Once I opened facebook.com whe...

Facebook rolls out its changes again

As most Facebook users know, every time the layout changes on Facebook, there’s bound to be a whole lot of issues. Because of change, lots of users will tend to dislike it (where’s that dislike button now?)  There are plenty of noticeable changes that are instantly seen right on the front page. The “friends online” is now also shown on the left panel of the home page. Everything is categorized on the left panel on the main page as well. The live feed has become simply “Most Recent”, but Top News...

The Point Of Twitter

Almost everyone I know has heard of Twitter to some extent, but the problem is that all too many of them don’t know what it is exactly or what it does. They seem to think it is for stalkers and always ask why they would care what someone had for lunch. These people just don’t truly understand the true potential of Twitter. Am I the only one who has people constantly asking me about what the point of Twitter is? I guess I am the ‘tech geek’ in the family (and friends for that matter), but I’m...

FriendFeed: A Dead Network?

A few days ago a friend of mine, DannyMinick decided to(in my opinion, out of the blue) close his FriendFeed account. The reason behind closing down his FriendFeed was that he saw it as a dead network, and no one really cared about it anymore. My first reaction to this was "well, he isn't as popular, so obviously he wouldn't get as many comments as someone else, such as Akiva Moskovitz, who has almost 1,500 subscribers on FriendFeed." However, after I thought about it for a few minutes, and it s...

Facebook…Where to Start

Facebook is one of the largest social networking sites out there. I've been a member for a long time now, well since way back when they had that original Facebook look. Before they changed up the home page, and what people's profiles appeared like. I will say that's where I saw them going down hill. It seems like every time you log onto Facebook there is some sort of problem or issue at hand. Heck, half of the time it seems like Facebook won't even load. Now, for as such a big social networki...

Adium beta is awesome

If you have a Mac, you probably use Adium or iChat for instant messaging.  Most people I talk to use Adium, and the great people who develop Adium have been cooking up some new features.  On top of just instant messaging, they have added some other awesome things.  The two major additions are Twitter and IRC. These additions are Huge, as I know many people who use twitter, as well as IRC.  I use IRC, twitter, AIM, and Windows Live, and this makes it nice to save system resources.  This be...
