Deborah Schultz: World and Web - not as connected as we think

With more places to share content on more networks, each having their own diverse social graphs, connections and features, many of us are splintering our online identities, choosing one or a few communities over others, and optimizing our sharing and consumption to fit the model that best works for us - and that self-assessment should be constantly changing as our own preferences, and those sites' capabilities change. http://blog.louisgray.com/2010/08/social-me-me-me-me-me-media.html

Chrome: The Chrome to iPhone extension adds a handy button to your Google Chrome toolbar that, when clicked, quickly shares your current URL between your desktop browser and iOS device. The extension attempts to mimic the functionality of the even better Chrome to Phone extension for Android devices, and for the most part, it does a pretty good job. The two main differences: 1) Chrome to Phone allows you to send links, maps, and selected text or phone numbers to Android and 2) automatically detects that you've been sent content and opens the corresponding application (maps, browser, etc.). http://lifehacker.com/5620783/chrome-to-iphone-sends-links-to-your-ios-device-from-chrome

It seems like only yesterday that Oracle announced it was hiring former HP CEO Mark Hurd to be a Co-President and member of the Board — that’s because it was just yesterday . And now just one day later, we have a lawsuit filed by HP to block such a maneuver by Oracle. In confirming the lawsuit in a brief blog post today, HP’s official corporate blog highlights what they see as the key issue here: trade secrets and confidential information.

Google's Color-Changing Logo and What the Company Is About to Announce

The Google homepage is sporting a new logo that changes color as you type, and it's likely a big hint as to what the company will announce at its "can't miss" search event on Wednesday. When you arrive on the search giant homepage today, you'll be greeted with a gray Google doodle. When you start typing a search query though, the color magically returns to Google's iconic logo. This follows yesterday's logo , a collection of animated particles that react to the movement of the cursor.
