on the Web Chefs Cooking Up Controversy
Posted by thumpad.com in General, Multimedia, Services on February 22, 2010
According to The New York Times, some New York City chefs are using Twitter as more than just a marketing tool. Angry chefs are feuding with one another, striking back against bloggers and food critics, and even venting about the rigors of their job. It's a surprising trend, as the restaurant community is known for being tight-lipped.
Joe Dobias, owner and chef at JoeDoe in the East Village, might be the most notorious culinary tweeter. Not only did he bash his fish supplier on Twitter (which told ……
Google Tweaks Buzz Again, Amid Privacy Concerns
Posted by thumpad.com in General, Multimedia on February 16, 2010
Google Buzz may still be in its infancy, but it already has one obvious leg up on its competition: speed of evolution. Facebook may seem to have an endless line of facelifts, but its response to user criticism is slow at best. Twitter, on the other hand, has been slow to roll out new features and tweak the interface, often announcing changes months in advance. Meanwhile, Buzz has been out for less than a week, and Google is already making its second round of changes to the service's default behavior ……
to the 2010 Nominees on Twitter. The Oscar Enthusiast's Guide
Posted by thumpad.com in General, Services on February 16, 2010
Groundhog's Day is over (with, apparently, more winter on its way), and let's face it, there's not a whole lot to be excited about in February. Except for the bloated, yearly spectacle called the Academy Awards. While Hollywood pats itself on the back, offices around the country throw in cash and take their best shots at guessing who will carry home a golden statue.
We won't attempt to make any picks, as we're saving those for our office Oscar pool. But, like every other Oscar nut……
a White House Twitterer, Obama Looking to Hire
Posted by thumpad.com in General, Multimedia, Services, Social Networking on February 16, 2010
Balancing two wars, steep unemployment rates, and an expansive healthcare overhaul doesn't leave Barack Obama a whole lot of time for anything — including, apparently, Twitter. This may explain why the President is reportedly looking to hire an official White House twitterer, according to the Wall Street Journal. Mia Cambronero currently holds the vaunted position of social networks manager for the Democratic National Committee, but said in an e-mail that she'll soon be vacating her “infamous rol……

With Pop Music, Nigerian Stars Fight 419 Scams
Posted by thumpad.com in General, Multimedia, Services, Software on February 7, 2010
30 years ago, Nigerian Afrobeat legend and Pan-African activist Fela Kuti released the song 'Zombie,' a scathing attack on Nigeria's dictatorial and militaristic regime. The hottest new single (video after the break) to come out of Nigeria today, though, takes aim at a slightly less ambitious social ill: cyber-crime.

'Maga No Need Pay' is the latest pop song to make its way around West African radio waves, and the message behind it is clear: just say “no” to cyber-crime. Nig……
Students Can Be Suspended for Fake MySpace Pages, Judge Rules
Posted by thumpad.com in General, Services on February 7, 2010
A U.S. appeals court ruled Thursday that schools can legally suspend students for creating fake MySpace profiles, but only if the fabricated online personas poses some sort of school disruption. A three judge panel in Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania came to their decision after a student posted a sexually explicit parody of her principal on her fake MySpace page. The panel ruled that the school could legitimately expect the post to disrupt normal school activities, and thus granted authorities the right t……

Friend's App Activity Revealed by Facebook Hole
Posted by thumpad.com in General, Social Networking, Software on January 30, 2010
Facebook's little snafu with the 'un named app' is nothing compared to the latest bug discovered by All Facebook. The social network's new dashboard features, which at the moment are only available if you have the Facebook Developer app installed, allows you to see what applications your friends have or had installed — whether they want you to or not.
The applications and games dashboards are expected to be rolled out to general users soon, and we hope that Facebook will patch this flaw……
