- What's missing from the social web?June 29

What's missing from the social web? The ability to just hang out and throw back a few. Really. The missing element from the new, social media driven internet is quite ironically the ability to socialize with people directly, rather than mediated through various services online. And why is this important? Because no matter how much we can expand our social lives online, what matters most is our social lives offline.
You see, we all have a need to have friends, people we can hang out with for no reason at all. The story of social networking services has been "we can let you find new friends and have lots
- First Scientology, now AhmadinejadJune 23

Anonymous strikes again! Once again, some anon has created a warning video directed at an enemy of Anonymous and stuck it up on YouTube. This time, the enemy is not Scientology but rather Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, whose government is currently cracking down on pro-democracy protests and killing people who only want freedom and fair elections.
Question is, is this for the lulz, or does Anonymous actually care about democracy in Iran?

I’m pissed off right now. MG Siegler, currently a writer over at well-known Web2.0 news site TechCrunch, has decided to use people who rely on food assistance as ammunition for a poorly researched and certainly misguided attack on Microsoft. And as someone who has had to rely on the services of food banks in the past just to have enough to eat, I am personally insulted by the gall and brazenness of MG’s attack.

I was recently introduced to Blip.fm, a service TechCrunch proclaimed a "Twitter for music" – find songs you want to hear, and play them with a short message. After Last.fm decided to hate on anyone not in the US, UK, or Germany, I thought that Blip.fm would be a better way to find new music to enjoy. But nope!
Blip.fm just recently announced that they're going to be changing some things due to the "perfect storm" through which the company is navigating. And these changes aren't very good at all for anyone who doesn't live in the USA. To begin, they're going to be cutting back on providing URLs to music they themselves are getting from all over the internet, and
- Twitter and Telus, friends again?May 7
-
So, I just found out that my mobile service provider, Telus, is now on Twitter! Not only that, but they're asking Telus users on Twitter if they want full SMS support again, like Bell customers have. The only problem is that if you want to say yes, you need to be followed by Telus. Why? Because they want responses via direct message.
You know, it'd be great to ge
