The former reporter watched her newspaper cut positions, go from being a daily to a weekly and focus more on creating short, Q&A pieces, video and photo galleries in an effort to cling to dwindling online traffic. "People aren't really reading anymore," said Paine, who now works for the public relations firm InkHouse. A new Engauge white paper breaks down the make-up of the average Pinterest user and shows that the end result of less reading is more of a focus on content curation than creation.

“Secondly, it reinforces the need for parents to be aware of the privacy settings they have set on their social network and other profiles. Otherwise, sharing a baby’s picture and specific information may not only be shared with friends and family but with the whole online world.” Internet security company AVG surveyed mothers in North America (USA and Canada), the EU5 (UK, France, Germany, Italy and Spain), Australia/New Zealand and Japan, and found that 81 percent of children under the age of two currently have some kind of digital profile or footprint, with images of them posted online.

Google announced on Wednesday that it is rolling out a significant redesign for its social networking platform Google+, which will allow users to create a more customized experience on the site. The company said it will introduce a variety of new features to the site in the next few days, from customizing apps and the navigation bar to more flexibility with profile pages and pictures.

In addition, the update introduces a new Explore page that posts what's interesting and trending across the site. Google also noted that the social network now boasts more than 170 million users since it's 2011 launch. Google+ will now offer profile pages that will include bigger photos, a la Facebook's Timeline, and feature a chat list that puts friends front and center on your page.

Image from: Camera Image / Shutterstock As everyone on the planet is now aware, Instagram, the mobile photo-app of choice among hipsters, is going to be acquired by Facebook for a magical $1 billion.

The world of consumer apps is tough – how many other photo apps are out there that had close to the same functionality but yet didn’t take off like Instagram did? In the case of Instagram, we have a rather remarkable one-to-one comparison available: Picplz was launched at about the same time, and has almost identical functionality. Making it more interesting, super VC firm Andreessen Horowitz invested in Instagram when it was still called Burbn, but then switched teams and backed Picplz (while remaining a passive investor in Instagram). So theoretically, these apps are not only similar, but they both had similar backing and Silicon Valley buzz. The story of the two apps can be easily seen in Compete data.

It’s on — US sues Apple, publishers over e-book prices. The Justice Department has at last filed an anti-trust complaint in New York against Apple and five publishers over an alleged price fixing conspiracy. (Update: Hachette, Simon & Schuster and HarperCollins have agreed to settle, while Macmillan and — presumably — Penguin will fight the suit.)

The decision to sue comes after weeks of media leaks that suggested the government was trying to pressure the parties into a settlement. The issue turns on whether five publishers illegally colluded with Apple to implement “agency pricing” in which the publishers set a price and the retailer takes a commission. (See here for more details.) The filing is posted in full below.
