Facebook will be rolling out its location features to an enormous user base — there are now more than 400 million users of the social network in total, 100 million of which access the site via mobile regularly.

Kurzweil: The trend so far is that communications technology is moving closer to us rather than forcing humans to become more like the classical notion of a machine. When I was a student at MIT, you did have to be an engineer to use the computer, and I had to use my bicycle to get to the one computer on campus. Today, I have a computer on my belt, and I am able to access virtually all human knowledge with a few keystrokes. And, already, 5 billion people have these mobile devices in their pockets. The technologies that succeed in the marketplace are the ones that meet our basic human needs to communicate and socialize.
Within 20 years, computers will match human intelligence and pass the "Turing test," in which they will be indistinguishable from human intelligence. But this will not be an alien invasion of intelligent machines to compete with us and displace us. We will use these machines as we have always used our tools -- to extend our own reach.

Facebook is known for its uniformity. You can post all sorts of content, but the actual design and layout of your profile is the same as everyone else's.
But with Facebook Fan Pages and the array of apps you can plug into them, there are a few ways you can customize what people see when they land on your Page.
You've probably seen custom Fan Pages like those of Techipedia article on the subject.
If you’re a regular Copyblogger reader, you get good advice about five times a week. Excellent advice, really. Stellar.
Especially on days when I’m posting. (Preens.)
Wait, what was I saying again?
Oh, right. You get really good advice, for free, five times a week. Very frequently, this advice would cost you upwards of $150 an hour for a consultant to tell you the same thing.
So when was the last time you actually put any of that advice into action?
Where’s your follow-through?
Great article.. It basically says that you should bookmark or summarize what you might learn from blogs and systematically practice what you have learned.. great advice..
