EU soon to have uniform cell phone chargers
Posted by emily on July 31st, 2010
Starting next year, cell phones will have a one-size-fits-all charger. The uniform model, part of an agreement by at least a dozen cell phone makers, means new phones will no longer comes with chargers, and there will be less electronic waste.

Twitter’s new feature: Suggesting users you might be interested to follow
Posted by emily on July 31st, 2010
Twitter is now suggesting people you don't currently follow that you may find interesting.
Today we're beginning to roll out a simple, but powerful new feature to help address that "Suggestions for You". The algorithms in this feature, built by our user relevance team, suggest people you don't currently follow that you may find interesting. The suggestions are based on several factors, including people you follow and the people they follow. You'll see these suggestions on Twitter.com and the Find People section. If you like a suggestion, click "follow"; if you don't, click "hide," and we'll try not to suggest that user again.

The Flickr Bogan-Martin Award For “Media Overreaction”
Posted by Michael Arrington on July 31st, 2010
One thing you can say about the Flickr team – there’s some fight in ‘em. They apparently were not super pleased with our coverage of their annual (and unofficial) Grant-Pattishall Award given each year to the Yahoo engineer who “who breaks Flickr in the most spectacular way.” I’m not sure why, I think the award is fun.
So now they have a new award, called the Bogan-Martin Award: “The Bogan-Martin Award is given yearly to the Flickr staff member who inadvertently generates the most spectacular media overreaction to a personal comment or inside joke.”
So who won? Daniel Bogan this year, who was also this year’s winner of the other award. And last year was Chris Martin. Both winners names link to previous posts we’ve done. Suggesting that we’re the media that is engaging in the spectacular overreaction.
Ok, Flickr. You won this round.
