Facebook's Big Changes: Reveal More, Consume More

Facebook

Facebook's f8 conference started off on a light note, with Saturday Night Live star Andy Samberg doing his best Mark Zuckerberg impression, but the conference quickly got down to serious business with some big changes for the world's biggest social network.
With a huge smile on his face, Zuckerberg showed off a new kind of Facebook profile, called the "Timeline." Think of your Timeline as a digital scrapbook that builds itself automatically through your activity on Facebook.

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg took the stage at his company's F8 developer conference to unveil the social network's most drastic interface overhaul since 2008. The new features will be rolling out to users in the coming weeks, but here's a quick preview of what's in store.

How Many of You Actually Use Twitter? Good Question

Here's a shocker for you: Newt Gingrich probably didn't pad his Twitter follower list with fictitious accounts. And, to make matters weirder, the reason that people thought that he had is the same reason why even Twitter isn't sure how many users it actually has: inactive users.

FACEBOOK

Last week we reported that Facebook was set to give its privacy pages a much needed facelift.
Its goal? To better streamline the controls granted to users over who can and can't see their content. Previously Facebook users had to navigate through an unclear array of menus to get to their privacy settings. Now, that control is inline with each post, as well as available through multiple access points.

As lawmakers in Washington continue to wrangle over a solution to the debt-ceiling mess, their search for a compromise has now got them thinking about iPhones, iPads and other smartphones and tablets.

Google & Microsoft Both Kicking Hulu's Tires

Hulu

Is Hulu for sale? Not exactly.

The L.A. Times reports that Google and Microsoft have both been entertaining the idea of purchasing the online video service, which is jointly owned by NBC Universal, Fox, and Disney-owned ABC.

However, L.A. Times says, "The presentations to the potential suitors are a first step as Hulu's owners weigh whether to sell the site after having received an overture from Yahoo."

It's hard to imagine that when Twitter first launched in 2006 it'd become the monstrous cloud of information it is today.

To say the service fundamentally changed the world by changing the way we communicate isn't even an overstatement — it's really become a fulcrum for culture in more ways that one.

Amazon.com / Amazon.com

Just how environmentally-friendly is Amazon.com?

Sure, the company has a page dedicated to how it's "constantly looking for ways to further reduce [its] environmental impact," boasting that "online shopping is inherently more environmentally friendly than traditional retailing" and linking to a study to back that up.

It talks about its Kaizen program "named for the Japanese term meaning 'change for the better'," as the website helpfully explains.

Google

Happy Fourth of July! Google pulled the plug on its realtime search while you were barbecuing some ribs and slamming a few beers out on the patio. Now welcome back to the real world.

So while most of America was wrapped up in its three-day weekend, Google disabled its Realtime Search feature. Coincidentally (or not so coincidentally), it's also pulling Twitter results from the search.

VisionOnlineJobs Review

I have been working for VISION online jobs (www.visiononlinejobs.com) and my findings are that company is very honest and smart to pay back for what you do for them. They have penalized me for the mistakes I made while working because the franchise people did not educate me about the whole process which resulted in my anger and anxiety towards franchise staff.

Archos

Somehow, Archos has managed to fit some powerful hardware into an Android tablet that's just over half the price of an iPad.

The Archos G9 series tablets will come in two flavors when they launch in late September: An 8-inch model will start at $279 and have the same screen resolution as an iPad (1024-by-768), and a 10.1-inch model will start at $349 and use a widescreen format like many other modern Android tablets.

Is Google too big for the U.S. Government? That might explain why the company is rumored to be facing subpoenas concerning abuse of its position in web-search advertising.

The Wall Street Journal quotes the traditional "people familiar with the matter," and explains that "issues in the FTC probe are expected to include whether Google searches unfairly steer users to the company's own growing network of services at the expense of rival providers."

The commercialization of Twitter is going to mean advert tweets appearing in users' timelines, according to the Financial Times.

Given the hoo-ha when the company added the "QuickBar" to timelines viewed via its iOS app, see if you can imagine how much of a stink putting ads in the timeline would cause. One helluva one.

Hacker group LulzSec has struck again, this time targeting Arizona law enforcement by releasing thousands of pages of confidential documents and communications presumably acquired in a security breach. Among those documents are several that show law enforcement's special interest in the iPhone and other smart phones.

Less than one year after Facebook's big 500 million user milestone, the social network is still piling on more users.

A source close to the company tells TechCrunch that Facebook's user count has just passed 750 million. Facebook won't officially confirm the number, probably because it's waiting for 1 billion users before it makes another announcement, but earlier estimates from this month and last month suggest that the numbers may at least be close to the mark.

I'm ready for my upgrade, by which I mean from a well-worn early 2010 13-inch MacBook Pro to a shiny new Thunderbolt-equipped 11.6-inch MacBook Air—if Apple does right by me spec-wise with its imminent MacBook Air refresh, anyway. The latest rumors (per DigiTimes) don't tell us much about what to expect from Cupertino's ultraportable not-a-netbook (but really, yes Apple, a netbook) product update, save that it's due to happen in July.

Google ramps up speed of search

Google has made changes to its search engine as it strives to get consumers the information they want faster.

Its new Instant Pages system will shave between two to five seconds off the time it takes for a web page to load, the company said.

It is also planning to offer voice-activated and enhanced image searching.

The first laptop running Google's Chrome operating system has gone on sale in the United States.

The Samsung machine replaces installed software with browser-based apps which store files online.

Google claims that the technology enables a new way of computing, removing the need for features such as anti-virus software or optical drives.

Amazon

It's sad, but it's true: Spam is as spam does. It gets everywhere. It's now found its way into Amazon's Kindle e-book store.

One of the great things about the Kindle store is that anyone can sign up as an author, upload a manuscript, and "publish" it for instant sales to millions of Kindle owners, desperate to consume more e-ink because their Kindle still has 76 years of battery life left and they'll be damned if they're going to let any of that go to waste.

snapdeal

A small village in India has decided to rename itself "Snapdeal.com Nagar" after an online daily deals company, and surprisingly, it's not some overblown publicity scheme gone wrong.

Instead, the town (or "nagar," in case you were wondering why it was called "Snapdeal.com Nagar") chose to change its name to thank the company for adopting the village and installing manual pumps, giving the inhabitants clean drinking water for the first time.

Apple

When Apple's OS X Lion debuts in July, it'll only be available through Apple's Mac App Store. No retail copies, no white-edged Apple-gray install DVDs—just an install file you'll purchase and pull down by conjuring the App Store from your Mac's dock and perusing "New and Noteworthy" for a picture of Apple's new tawny-maned kitty. Oh, and you'll need at least 2GB of memory, 4GB of install space and to be running the very latest version of OS X Snow Leopard in the bargain to make it all work.

Late last night news broke that Facebook was finally making its own iPad app. "An iPad app?" you say. "Haven't iPads been around for, like, a year now?"

Yep. The iPad's been without a native Facebook app since its launch in April 2010. But the New York Times is reporting that sources at Facebook will introduce their long-awaited iPad app some time in the next few weeks.

Samsung

In a rumor that's as shaky as rumors get, Samsung may be working on an updated version of its 7-inch Galaxy Tab.

That's right, the original iPad rival that was quickly overshadowed by newer, shinier competition -- including the iPad 2 and a bigger Samsung tablet -- is reportedly getting a refresh, according to Italy's unofficial Samsung HD Blog.

If you haven't seen the notoriously bad video, you may have lost your chance.

Twitter's Link Shortener - Why Third Parties Will Be Okay

Once upon a time not very long ago, the link shortening business appeared to be the tech world's next golden egg. Site's like TinyURL and Bitly were able to build fully-realized business models by condensing links down to more manageable Twitter lengths of roughly 20 characters long.

Financers were impressed. In October of last year, Bitly managed to raise another $9 million in series B funding with its 200 million clicks supplied per day.

The hackers behind recent attacks on Sony's PlayStation Network may be less anonymous than they'd hoped. The New York Times is reporting that police in Spain say they've nabbed three individuals allegedly involved in recent hack-intrusions against Sony's PSN (among other cyber-iniquities). The three were arrested independently in the Spanish cities of Almeria, Barcelona and Valencia.

From their data facility cooled by seawater, to the green-friendly architects they hired to design their new offices, we here at Techland are big fans of all the sustainable initiatives Google's been unveiling.

In the latest post on the Google blog, the company revisits its RechargeIT initiative from 2007, which aimed to cut CO2 levels and oil use by standardizing electric plug-in vehicles across the company.
