- Blogger Threatened by DHS for Posting New TSA Screening Directive | Threat Level | Wired.com -
Two bloggers received home visits from Department of Homeland Security agents on Tuesday after they published a new TSA directive that revises screening procedures and puts new restrictions on passengers in the wake of a recent bombing attempt by the so-called “underwear bomber.”
Special agents from the DHS’s Office of Inspection interrogated two U.S. bloggers, one of them an established travel columnist, and served them each with a civil subpoena demanding information on the anonymous source.. show all textDowntownRob: Exclusive!

As 2009 winds down and we try to come up with new and clever ways of referring to the early years of this century, there’s really only one thing left to do: declare our ten favorite gadgets of the aughts and show them off in chronological order. It’s arguable that if this wasn’t the decade of gadgets, it was certainly a decade shaped by gadgets — one which saw the birth of a new kind of connectedness. In just ten years time, gadgets have touched almost every aspect of our daily lives, and p.. show all textjohnmerritt: a decades defining gadgets http://bit.ly/6AmX6z
- Life on the List – Anil Dash -
In the time it takes you to read this sentence, I’ll have gained another follower or two on Twitter. Within an hour, I’ll have added more followers than 99% of Twitter users ever have. On a typical day, I’ll have averaged 100 new followers every hour. It’s not that I’m great at writing tweets or because of any effort or merit on my part; It’s because I’m part of Twitter’s list of suggested users.

Christmas is a holiday that brings people together, so perhaps it should be no surprise that Facebook has become a part of millions of peoples’ Christmas experiences. For the first time in its history, Facebook was the #1 most visited website in the United States on both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day this year, according to traffic analyst firm Hitwise today.
That’s worth noting. HitWise reported last year that Facebook was #2 behind Google on Christmas.

- SMS on Wheels: CarPong Is Vehicle-to-Vehicle Messaging -
Did you just get cut off? Is a professional driver behaving badly? Was your car towed? Or better, did you see a cute driver (or a really cool car) in the next lane?
CarPong is a fun an innovative idea that allows users to send messages to other drivers by using their car’s license plate number. Like blog commenting for vehicles, this service lets drivers write messages to other drivers, read what others have said about them and search for notes about other drivers.

In May 09 when we first used Tweepsearch to count of the Twitter bios of self-proclaimed social media gurus, experts, superstars and ninjas there were 4,487. A mere seven months later, we were shocked to see that there are now nearly 16.000. They are multiplying like rabbits.

- 64% Prefer Old Twitter Retweets to New Style -
We mixed up our weekly Web Faceoff series a bit this time, with a novel head-to-head battle between Twitter’s old and new style of retweets. In the previous 3-way matchup we saw Digg beat out Reddit and StumbleUpon for social news supremacy, and this week we saw another heated battle come to a close with perhaps a surprising winner.
It’s been a controversial topic since the new feature was first announced, and the results of this week’s poll show that it may still be a contested issue.

A new Facebook clickjacking attack is making the rounds, and this one is as sly as they come. The attack spreads through a malicious website, http://fb.59.to, leading users to this YouTube video.
The method used to spread the link is particularly interesting. A Facebook user sees a post on a friend’s wall, with a thumbnail and the caption “New Pix.” Clicking on this link will lead you to the aforementioned video, but it will also spread by posting the same link on your own wall, seemingly w.. show all textsusanbeebe: RT @mashable: New Facebook Clickjacking Attack is on the Loose [WARNING] – http://bit.ly/8nFV9P - Live Streaming Internet Broadcast – Chris Pirillo Lifestreaming Life Online -
