Google Privacy Policy Changes

Google’s privacy settings are changing once again as of March 1, 2012, and since you’ve probably been ignoring their warnings, let us break it down for you.

Google is consolidating their policies in order to use your activity on Gmail, YouTube and Google+ to generate more personalized search queries and search results.

If you don’t want Google snooping on your web history, there is a way to pause the search engine from recording it. Lifehacker has eloquently explained this process, which takes all of about thirty seconds:

Seventh-Grader Plans to Build Worlds Biggest Tablet [PICS]
James Hardman has a dream. A tech fanatic, he thinks tablets are amazing, but the ones currently on sale simply aren’t big enough for him. While most large tablet designs, like the iPad, have displays that max out at about 10 inches, Hardman wants to go larger — all the way to a 17-inch screen. …

A max of nine photos are randomly generated based on “likes” and comments we’ve made on each other’s photos.   The chosen photos aren’t always ideal, but the cute filters make for a quick, creative solution to the standard, dull e-card.

A Very Social Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is creeping up, and you’ve got to prove to your significant other that modern romance does  exist. Since you’re posting, tweeting, liking and sharing all day anyway, it’s a no-brainer that you’ll want to use these social tools to make your day a little sweeter.


To Make Reservations: Research the most romantic spot in town by price range, neighborhood or cuisine type on Yelp. Their infamous user reviews will give you an idea of each restaurant’s atmosphere, or at least give you a good laugh. For the swankier set, OpenTable provides similar services, with the added feature of online reservation booking.

To Find the Perfect Gift: Groupon and LivingSocial have made finding the perfect Valentine’s gift laughably easy. Not only do they offer steep discounts on classics like candy and flowers, but they also offer creative alternatives like romantic getaways, mini golf dates and spa days.

Valentine's Day Nail ArtTo Send a Love Note: Instagram addicts will delight over Lovestagram, a new ecard maker that creates a slideshow of you and your Valentine based on an algorithm of username tag magic. Mashable has all the details, but in essence, it places heart-shaped frames around photos of you and your honey, compiling the photographic history of your relationship into one neat greeting.

To Move On:  YourTango and Bliss.com are hosting a Twitter party on February 13th, answering questions on “How to Break Up With Your Ex.” Just follow @YourTango and @BlissCommunity to participate in the conversation. The three most active “partygoers” will win three month subscriptions to Match.com.

Last Valentine’s Day, Socialnomics put together this entertaining little story about using social media to create the perfect V-Day, even if the holiday completely slipped your mind. Check it out for some more ideas:
