Surprise: Facebook Friends Aren’t Real Friends

Last Updated on Monday, 1 February 2010 11:25 Written by admin Monday, 1 February 2010 11:25

If you have thousands of friends on Facebook, most of them are not your real friends , reports The Sunday Times of London . Shocking, I know. According to a recent study by Oxford University professor of Evolutionary Anthropology Robin Dunbar, a human brain is limited to keeping up with about 150 meaningful relationships, regardless of how many Facebook friends yo u might have. This is in line with Dunbar's earlier research on the matter, in which he concludes that there exists a theoretical... Detailt »»

Remove Annoying Messages From Your Facebook Home Page

Last Updated on Monday, 1 February 2010 11:25 Written by admin Monday, 1 February 2010 11:25

Like several bazillion other users, I like using Facebook to keep tabs on what my friends are up to. What I don't like is the endless stream of "so-and-so took this quiz" and "Joe became friends with Jane" messages and "What Kind of Jedi Are You?" come-ons. That's why I just became a fan of Facebook Purity , a browser add-on that removes those annoying quiz and application notifications from your Facebook home page. The effects are subtle--don't expect a major makeover--but definitely worthwhile.... Detailt »»

AT&T’s Buzz.com Aims to Take a Bite Out of Yelp

Last Updated on Monday, 1 February 2010 11:25 Written by admin Monday, 1 February 2010 11:25

First AT&T created the Yellow Pages to connect people with local businesses. Now it wants to delve even deeper with a Yelp-like competitor called Buzz.com . Though Buzz.com -- which is still in alpha, is only being tested by about 500 AT&T employees, and has no release date -- sounds like it has its ducks in a row, can it conquer the king of colorful consumer gripes? Buzz.com plans on utilizing AT&T's long-standing relationships with businesses, advertisers, and the mobile phone industry to... Detailt »»

Download Facebook Photo Albums in a Flash

Last Updated on Monday, 1 February 2010 11:25 Written by admin Monday, 1 February 2010 11:25

For a service as photo-oriented as Facebook, the simple act of downloading photos is annoyingly complicated. In fact, there is no download option; you have to view each photo in turn, right-click it, and choose Save Image As or Save Picture As (depending on your browser). So what happens if a friend posts a bunch of pictures you want to download? Are you really supposed to go through and save them one by one? Not if you install the FacePAD plug-in for Firefox . Short for Facebook Photo Album... Detailt »»

Google’s Social Search Won’t Leverage Much of Facebook

Last Updated on Monday, 1 February 2010 11:24 Written by admin Monday, 1 February 2010 11:24

Google's recently released Social Search feature, whose raison d'etre is to include content from users' social-network contacts in search results, can barely tap into the connections people have made on Facebook, the world's largest social network. Social Search, which graduated from an opt-in Google Labs experiment to a default feature on Google.com for signed-in users on Wednesday, will only access Facebook public profile pages, which at best contain bare-bones member information. The problem... Detailt »»

Apple’s iPad and the Flash Clash

Last Updated on Monday, 1 February 2010 11:24 Written by admin Monday, 1 February 2010 11:24

Apple's iPad has been surrounded by debate since its debut this week. Now, the heavily hyped tablet is at the center of a controversy that's reaching the federal government. This latest iPad beef isn't about the device's frequently mocked name or any surrounding trademark concerns ; rather, it's about the iPad's apparent lack of Flash support . Product demos and statements from Adobe suggest the device is not Flash-friendly -- but Apple's promotional materials paint a very different picture.... Detailt »»
