Cellphone service goes live at 6 NYC subway stations

New Yorkers won’t be able to go underground to escape calls from the boss much longer — the Metropolitan Transportation Authority began launching cell phone service in its subway stations Tuesday.

Unlocked Cell Phone Discounts. Free Shipping. Large Selection Unlocked GSM Phones. No Contracts. Buy Now.

The new service went live in six stations in Chelsea. Crews plan to wire another 271 stations during the next five years, bringing Internet and voice calling to the subway’s 4.3 million daily riders.

Only AT&T and T-mobile phones will work at first, but the MTA says it hopes to have other carriers on board soon. The signal covers station areas but not tunnels.

just thinking back to the year when everyone started using facebook , they had big user number as well , but i never got the site , didnt know why anyone would want to use it , and i had no idea how it worked or what do do once i joined ..
then one day i had a friend that would not give me their number , and i really wanted to contact them . they told me i could contact them on facebook , of course i said i dont use facebook and dont care to use it , well thats until they told me that would be the only way i could contact them ..
so i joined the facebook craze , and i was hookd , and im still a very active member til this day ..
what im trying to say is , i hear a few of yall putting down google plus even before you give it a try , the same way i didnt like facebook way before i even joined or gave it a try ...


In the past, according to PlusHeadlines, Allen has been startlingly accurate:
July 4th – 1.7 million users
July 9th – 4.5 million users
July 12 – 10 million users
September 9th – 28.7 million users
September 22nd – 43.4 million users

These numbers tie up almost exactly with confirmed reports that we’ve seen in the past, as well as our own findings from Google employees.
When you consider that Google+ is just barely 3 months old, the growth is huge. In fact, Allen posits that in the past 2 days since the public has been able to access the service without an invitation, there has been a 30% growth.
The stats leave me to question exactly what keeps drawing people in at such a rapid rate. Are people really backlashing against Facebook? A reported 800 million users seem to be just fine on the site, especially after recent changes to privacy. But maybe it’s a combination of just wanting a change, and Google’s rollout of comprehensive new features for its own network that has spurred momentum.
We’ve dropped a line to Google to get some confirmation, but given Allen’s track record it seems very likely that he’s dead on, or at least very close.

Hulu announced the launch of a brand new Facebook app

Hulu does TV shows better than just about everyone. In fact, other than YouTube, Hulu attracts the highest level of engagement of any web video platform (with the average web viewer watching an average of 3.2 hours a month). Sure, users interact on Hulu discussion boards, tweet clips to friends, and share shows on Facebook, but the platform has long been in need of a better way to find and share TV shows and movies.
So, today at F8, Hulu announced the launch of a brand new Facebook app, which endeavors to make the Hulu experience social. What does that mean? For Hulu users this means getting to watch the video platform’s content directly within Facebook. Now you no longer have to leave Facebook to watch Hulu. And judging by all the news out of F8 today, soon you’ll never have to leave Facebook, period.

Fantastical. It’s OS X-only but I suspect the Windows crowd would get a kick out of it as well.

I’ve been using a pretty cool app of late called Fantastical. It’s OS X-only but I suspect the Windows crowd would get a kick out of it as well.

Basically it’s a natural language calendar app. You can paste (nearly) anything into its little window and it will automagically create an event. “Dinner with Joe at 5pm on Thursday” works just as you would imagine it would and unless today is Thursday, Fantastical will figure things out. It fumbles sometimes with word order and ends up setting all day lunches with “Tuesday” but most of the time that’s reparable with a few keystrokes.

i saw kevin rose used this app on diggnation , and its really cool ... but i went to the google calendar on windows , and i found out it can do the same thing ....

debuting a new iPhone app today, called ViKi On-The-Go

ViKi, an international video site for world TV series and movies translated in 100+ languages by its community, is debuting a new iPhone app today, called ViKi On-The-Go.

As we’ve written in the past, ViKi is an open-source-like solution for video, and acquires the rights to TV shows and movies. The site then puts it on one of its channels and within the first 24 hours an organized, volunteer community subtitles the content using ViKi’s software. The site has gained considerable traction in the past year. Currently, ViKi is seeing 8.5 millionunique visitors and 36 million tota visits in the past month, which is four times the traffic that ViKi has seen from last year.

Facebook vs. Twitter vs. Google+

Social Network Faceoff: Facebook vs. Twitter vs. Google+
In theory, all social networks—including Facebook, Twitter, and Google+—share a similar goal: To provide you with a platform to communicate online with your friends, followers, and encircled. In reality, each network has a considerably different culture, and as such, each is useful in very different ways. Here's a look at what each network does best.

How about you guys , feel free to leave a comment on this post ...

Facebook made some compelling announcements today, and like the service or not, you can't deny that Facebook is building a powerful platform that extends far beyond what most of us think of when we're talking about social networks.

the problem with this is that most people are not looking to learn new things , it took them awhile to learn the ins and outs of facebook .. and now with all the new changes , it time for them to learn again ...

Google+ Is Like an Old-School Forum or Blog
In many ways, it also feels like a blogging platform with a very active community. That causes some dissonance for people who want to own their content on their own blog, but it's also a testament to Google+ as a solid platform for deeper-than-normal interaction on social networks.

hey i just started using google+ , if you know me and you are thinking of giving google+ a try , add me .. 

  Twitter Is Great for Broadcasting, Taking the Temperature, and Starting Relationships
unless you are a big star in show business no one really cares what your doing every minute of the day , unless they are your friends or family , which is what facebook is already taking care of ..

Facebook Is Great for Friends

While Twitter and Google+ are excellent platforms for people interested in reaching outside their social circles, Facebook is really good at reaching in and strengthening interaction within social circles that already exist outside of Facebook's database. Families; friends; co-workers. They're Facebook's bread and butter. 

So you hear facebook is making big changes ....

Gates still richest but Zuckerberg climbs quickly

Gates still richest but Zuckerberg climbs quickly

But perhaps the biggest movement, at least when looking with an eye for tech moguls, is Zuckerberg's rise to No. 14 on the Forbes list with $17.5 billion. Last year the 27-year-old was at No. 35 on the list at $6.9 billion and the year before he didn't even didn't even qualify as a billionaire. Zuckerberg, this year, also elbowed out Google co-founders Larry Page, 38, and Sergey Brin, 38, who both ranked 15 on the list with net worths of $16.7 billion. But Amazon.com's Jeff Bezos beat out Page, Brin, and Zuckerberg, coming in 13th with an estimated wealth of $19.1 billion.

Some others of note on the list this year included Michael Dell, 46, at No. 18 with an estimated wealth of $15 billion; Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, 55, at No. 19 with an estimated wealth of $13.9 billion; Microsoft co-founder Paul Allen, 58, at No. 23 with $13.2 billion; and quite a ways down at No. 39, former Apple CEO Steve Jobs, 56, at $7 billion.
