With more than one billion users worldwide, Facebook might just be the most powerful network at present. This year, gift giving goes from virtual to real as the world’s leading social media company launches its Facebook Gifts - a feature that allows users [...]

Ever since the combined release of Apple’s iOS6 and iPhone 5 last week, the tech world has been in an uproar over the introduction of Apple’s own mapping system. Apple Maps, the primary iOS6 mapping service and Apple’s answer to Google Maps, has received less-than-impressive reviews from users.

The home page opens to This Week in History and you can search by topic (assassinations) or by date. On my exact birthday, for instance, Dr. Seuss got married. On my [...]

Unthink seems to think we might be. The outsider, vaguely anarchistic social media company believes that consumers who balk at Facebook’s privacy issues will be pleased by a platform that lets them control the data. Like the Occupy movement, it’s ready to to upend the status quo and create revolution to change the world. It’s also got a little bit [...]
