A quick note as Google+ already launch the option to create ‘Page’ (similar to Facebook business page, or fan page). So, now it is time for those businesses to flood the Google+ and maybe can increase your SEO.

Further information from here (http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2011/11/google-pages-connect-with-all-things.html).

Now, you can post other instagram photos to twitter

According to recent instagram blog, with the update of Instagram v2.0.2 and iOS 5, all Instagram users are allowed to share any of photo from other Instagram users via your twitter account post.

New Customise section for Tumblr

For all tumblr users, except those view the site via Internet Explorer, would be able to use the new customise appearance interface. First look, it is more organised, and easier to navigate through the available options.

Instagram 2.0.1 is out

According to Instagram blog, the version 2.0.1 is now available in app store to download already. This seems to be only minor update and mostly to fix some errors from the launch of 2.0.

Instagram 2.0 is available

Instagram 2.0 is available to download via iTunes app store. Those that already have previous version, simply run an update through app store application. This is a must update for all users since it has quite a significant changes in term of performances, UIs as well as new filters (4 more actually).

IMHO, Instagram is one of the leading photo-micro-blogging application on iOS at the moment. As people usually say, the pictures worth 1000 words. So, by mathematically, it beats the hell out of twitter by almost 10 times :-P Joke aside, I would say that instagram has built another successful micro-blogging community – if you niche yourself well enough, there is always a room in micro-blogging: just don’t try to make another clone of twitter, blogger or even tumblr, that’s all.

Google+ (finally) opens to all

According to google blog, now everyone can apply for google plus account without needing to ask for any invitation. So, if anyone is interested in trying another social networks, feel free to head to Google Plus website. Please keep in mind that unlike Facebook, you will need to use your real name or actually, any name that sounds like real human name. Come to think of it, I guess Facebook does require real name also, just that it does not as strict as Google Plus.

Ifttt (put the Internet to work for you) – a brand new free web automator service

I had a brief mention about this Ifttt website in my personal blog yesterday. And, I think that the idea is worth to have a proper spot that I can discuss a bit more in details. And, of course persuade you to use such a free service.

Basically, if you are familiar with automator on macintosh, you should be able to understand the concept of Ifttt easier. But first, Ifttt stands for If This, Then That – a very strange name indeed. However, I believe that it does cover the concept of the site very well & spot on. So, Ifttt offers an online service that similar to what automator can do for you offline – it helps processing any routine task in one motion. Once you set it up, you do not need to repeat that boring processes again.
