A while ago (sometime last year that I don’t remember anymore) I came across a quick blurb in a now long-forgotten Google blog entry telling users exactly how to get their names verified for their Google Profile pages.
It’s really simple, and free — the whole thing’s furnished by Knol, which has itself become somewhat forgotten [...]

It seems they’ll never learn. Yesterday, this pop-up introduced itself to Facebook users across the globe, and it wasn’t to the warmest of welcomes, either. Out of the millions of users who see this pop-up, roughly half can be expected to actually follow through with the indoctrination into new privacy features, while the rest will [...]

Yes, they’ve finally done it. After months of talk about incorporating the mounds of real-time data to which Google has access, they’re finally piping it all into their own search results. The sources they listed are some pretty big names: Facebook, Twitter, FriendFeed, MySpace, and Jaiku, among others — and that’s not counting the major [...]

Yep, completely and utterly missing. It’s been the better part of a day without the much-maligned pile of fail feature that Twitter’s massive ego of a CEO insisted we’d all grow to love — and they’ve not said a word about it. Unfortunately, because of their noted silence on the matter, the odds are about [...]

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg posted An Open Letter from Facebook Founder Mark Zuckerberg on Facebook’s official blog. Aside from the hilariously redundant title of the post, there’s not too much fun stuff in this one — but it does put some final affirmation to the long-run rumors.
The main point of the release:
The plan we’ve come [...]

Today I was pleasantly surprised when I checked Twitter and noticed that I had been followed by @Mirage234, which upon closer inspection, proved to be extremely LOL worthy — and then some.

Yes, those are “stacks” of “benjamins.”
His Twitter page was hilarious enough as it was without the G-Money MySpace retard-shot he has plastered as a [...]

After rolling out their lackluster new retweet feature not but one day ago, Twitter today announced that it’s been “temporarily disabled.” According to Twitter, they’re simply working on “a few problems” that have occurred during the rollout.
Twitter: Here’s Your Problem
Nobody likes your failed feature. The fix is simple, just remove it and act like it [...]

Responsible reporting starts with what you choose to report, and turning something as toxic as Facebook games into high-traffic news is beyond ridiculous. Slow days happen, but there are better things to talk about than this garbage.

No matter what you’ve heard, Wave does work on iPhones.
There’s recently been a bit of a murmur about Waveboard, a “client” for Google Wave, and whether or not it’s worth the download. I’m going to say the answer is a technical no. Please, feel free to give it a try for yourselves, but for those [...]

[UPDATE] Richard Barley, Community Manager for TweetDeck, was kind enough to stop by and clarify the issue last night, via comment. He made assurances that TweetDeck servers are secure, and suggested that the likely culprit here is in fact Brizzly. Apparently, in enacting their own list compatibility, Brizzly caused pre-existing groups to update back on [...]
