Google Tablet vs. the iPad

The New York Times announced that Google would be making a tablet to compete with the iPad. This will be an interesting competition as Google has really only made the HTC phone and has yet to make a computing device.

The competition will be exciting.

Do you think Google will be able to make a tablet that competes with the iPad as effectively as their Android platform does against the iphone?

Twitter Bought Tweetie, Developers Shivered

Today Twitter bought Tweetie for an undisclosed amount of money. Developers have recently been concerned over the acquisitions that Twitter has been making. They are concerned that Twitter may be getting too big and encroaching on their businesses, making it hard for them to compete.

Do you think Developers are justified being concerned over how big Twitter is getting?

Facebook is teaming up with the big internet companies

AOL, Yahoo, CNN and Facebook are all in cahoots to make our interent experience more enjoyable. Since Facebook has the most personal information about it's user's real lives than any other company on earth. Even Google wants to gain access to Facebook's grasp of what really goes on in peoples lives. Thankfully, for now Facebook is holding true to it's original stance on protecting it's users by guarding the things they don't want people to see. All in all, their security features have always made me feel safe and comfortable on Facebook. In a recent news release to their users, they informed us that Facebook would be joining forces with the above named companies and will continue to keep our secrets.

Whenever I hear that Facebook is teaming up with a company, I get concerned that they will harm my security in some way. Possibly join forces with a "good" advertising company and sharing all our demographics, comments, thoughts, emails, who knows.

Mostly these new partnerships will be to improve your experience on these other companies websites. They mentioned that they would be integrating AOL and Facebook chat services. This last feature they mentioned is the one I think will be the most exciting. CNN and Facebook are going to bring us a more social Presidential inauguration using Live Stream.

Facebook was started by Harvard Students and grew out to other higher education institues. It has an incredibly intelligent and wealthy user base. At it's core, Facebook is a tool waiting to be tapped in the Right way for political uses. I am not a programmer or a politician, but I am a creative thinker. In the future, I guarantee you will see social networks being integrated ever more into politics.

In closing, I would like to thank Facebook for saying "We don't share your information with advertisers unless you tell us to (e.g. to get a sample, hear more, or enter a contest). Any assertion to the contrary is false. Period."

This guy is one of my heros. Started his blog when he was 19 and now run's one of the more successful sites that posts about social media/marketing.

Facebook friend restrictions.

I just got the strangest message on Facebook. I was trying to add a new friend to my friends list when I got a message that said they already had too many friends. Did you know you could have too many facebook friends?

I am sure if I read the term of service more closely I would find that it says there is a limit to how many friends a single person could have. In an effort to make their service more user friendly and all inclusive, Facebook should remove these restrictions.

I could imagine that the owner of Mashable.com would have a ton of fiends, real or not. Why limit this?
