1: Facebook replaces personal email Question: Google has it, Hoover has it (in the UK anyway), TiVo had it, lost it and has somewhat got it back. Xerox had it, but nobody really cares anymore. So what is it? It’s when a brand name becomes the verb associated with its use. So rather than searching, you...
I talked about the greatness of Facebook Connect (for marketeers) a couple of posts ago, then this promo for a new video game is brought to my attention.

How do the two US presidential candidates fare on the various social networking websites that take up so much of our valuable time? Glad you asked, luckily the Scottish-based social media company, Yomego has compiled a list: MySpace On its Impact Channel, where young voters can watch the live debates...
