Google+ invite received, we go hands-on -- Engadget
Google takes on social networking (again), and seems to have found the right balance between simplicity and features. But will loyal Facebookians shift their allegiance to the search engine giant?
Tracking Twitter Trends
For all of you Twitter addicts out there that want to track the latest buzz and trends that people are tweeting about, here are two ways you can do this.
The first is on the official Twitter site itself, just click on “Search” at the bottom of the page. The latest trends will be displayed and clicking on any of them will pull up the ongoing Twitter public conversation.
Method number two is via Twitturly, which tracks the most popular web links being posted by Twitter users and posts the top 100 of these on its home page.
Update (May 4, 2009)
Twitter.com has updated its site layout, with trends and search being displayed on the home page on the right hand side. Does make more sense really.
