Does Google Now know too much about you for your own good?

Does Google Now know too much about you for your own good?

There’s something particularly creepy about Google Now that not only makes it superior to Siri and other voice- and location-based digital personal assistants, it makes it worrisome to those who take their privacy seriously. For the first time, we get to see the full breadth of how much Google really knows about us as individuals. It knows us from our Gmail accounts. It tracks our activities online.

Can Twitter

Can Twitter's photo edit options really hurt Instagram?

The short answer – yes, a little. There are rarely moves made by one social company that make me believe they can really hurt another social company, but this one is different. Instagram’s relationship with Twitter has been one of love and hate since before anyone realized there was a growing tension between the social networking giant and Facebook’s mobile secret weapon. The fact that Twitter added filters to their photo apps will not strain the relationship any further; in essence, there is nothing really left to strain. Facebook started the ill-will in April when they purchased Instagram….
