  • 5 More Ways to Go Green for Earth Day – There are many ways to take part in the environmental movement on the social web. With Earth Day rapidly approaching this Thursday, we decided to revisit our post from a few weeks ago on ways to go green with social media.
  • Facebook Reveals FriendFeed’s Future [VIDEO] – Last August, when Facebook bought Twitter competitor FriendFeed, many of its core users were shocked and concerned, even speculating as to whether the social networking giant would shutter the startup and absorb its tech as part of a new feature or product.
  • Facebook Open Graph: What it Means for Privacy – At Facebook’s F8 Developer Conference today, the company fleshed out its plans to become the social center of the web. With the new Open Graph API and protocol and the ability to integrate websites and web apps within your existing social network, the platform will become more robust than ever before.
  • Facebook Makes Major Announcements at F8 [LIVE] – Here at Facebook’s F8 Developer Conference in San Francisco, Facebook Founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg is making major announcements to an audience of developers and press.
  • If You Link Your Facebook Profile Data to Pages, then You Make that Information Public by Default – Facebook’s new user profile Pages transition tool includes an obvious and yet not obvious way that users might make personal information more publicly available. (via @nealwiser)
  • Facebook’s Plan To Automatically Share Your Data With Sites You Never Signed Up For – In anticipation of a slew of new features that will be launching at f8, today Facebook announced that it was once again making changes to its privacy policy (you can see our post outlining these changes here). One of the biggest changes that Facebook is making involves applications and third-party websites. We’ve been hearing whispers from multiple sources about these changes, and the announcement all but confirms what Facebook is planning to do. In short, it sounds like Facebook is going to be automatically opting users into a reduced form of Facebook Connect on certain third party sites — a bold change that may well unnerve users, at least at first.
  • Facebook To Release A “Like” Button For the Whole Darn Internet – There will be lots of news leaking about Facebook’s product announcements at their upcoming F8 Developer Conference in April. That’s because they’re already starting to test out a lot of the new stuff with third party developers, and once two people know a secret, it isn’t really a secret any more.
  • Facebook To Launch Meebo Bar Clone On Its Quest To Take Over The Web – In the last few days, we’ve uncovered some major new features that Facebook is going to announce at its f8 developer conference, including its plan to offer a Like button for the entire Internet and a creepy auto-Connect feature that will share your data with sites you never signed up for. Now we’ve heard from multiple sources about a third major product the company plans to unveil: a persistent Facebook toolbar that third-party sites can integrate that sounds a whole lot like the Meebo Bar.
  • The f8 Preview: How Facebook Plans to Take Over the Web – Facebook’s third f8 developer conference kicks off tomorrow in San Francisco and online, with the social networking company likely to announce what is essentially a game plan to not only socialize the web, but to marginalize the pre-social web. But while such a plan indicates a tussle with fellow upstart Twitter, the real battle is Facebook vs. Google.
  • Everything Facebook Will Announce At f8: The Definitive Guide – Want to know what Facebook will be announcing at f8 tomorrow? We’ve got the definitive guide straight from Facebook.
