Video Chat And Facebook Apps Coming to RIM Playbook Tomorrow
Image Via MobileCrunch I’ve had a BlackBerry Playbook for a couple of weeks now. I really like the device but have to concur with the many reports that it is, sadly, unfinished.

New App face2face Alerts You When Your Fake Twitter Friends Are Nearby
I don’t know about you but personally I’ve got a lot of social media “friends.” I use quotes around friends because while many of these people follow me and I follow them I’m not sure it’s fair to call them my friends. In fact a majority of the people who I follow on Twitter I’ve [...]
