Pearltrees Once Again Evolves The Way We Bookmark Our Favorite Sites | Small Business Conversations by Network Solutions

A few months ago, I wrote here about a new startup coming from France that would change the way that we view social bookmarking. In fact, it would probably change the paradigm to which we have been accustomed to – clicking a link on our browser and going to Digg , Del.icio.us or StumbleUpon and dropping in the link to share with our friends and others on the Internet. That startup was called Pearltrees and last week at the Web 2.0 Expo in San Francisco , they announced what they consider to be a major new feature that would help make it easier for people to share their bookmarks on a whole new level. As a refresher, Pearltrees is a content curation website designed to share your bookmarks with the entire community. There are no friends in Pearltrees.

http://www.datacenterknowledge.com/archives/2010/07/21/cloud-computing-a-catalyst-for-virtualization/ Ellen Rubin is the founder and Vice President of Products for CloudSwitch , which allows enterprises to run applications in the cloud without re-architecting the application or changing existing management tools. ELLEN RUBIN CloudSwitch At first glance, cloud computing can appear to be “virtualization taken to its logical conclusion.” After all, if the main benefit of virtualization is to consolidate data center resources and increase the speed of provisioning, then cloud is the ultimate pay-off: don’t own the resources at all and cut provisioning down to a few minutes with instant self-service gratification. But upon further thought, cloud seems to be giving virtualization a return to the spotlight. A recent Gartner study noted that cloud computing is the number two priority for CIOs – trumped only by virtualization.

The Truth About the Stalker Tracker on Facebook

Recently, I discovered yet another method that scammers are getting people to cough up their Facebook passwords. After hearing from a few friends that their Facebook accounts were hijacked through one method or another, I realized that it’s high time to at least try and put a lid on one particular method of Facebook scamming known as the “Stalker Tracker” on Facebook. Additionally, I’m going to try to satisfy the demand for legitimate services that might not be “Stalker Tracker” on Facebook, but it provides at least some of the visitor tracking features you may be looking for.
