Google launches new service called Google Reader Play, a light version of Google Reader as a slideshow (slideshow) showing suggested sites relevant content into 10 categories: Arts, Business, Entertainment, Health, News, Science, Sports, Technology “shared” and “Recommended”.

It is a simple visual form (images, video and extract the text) for those who do not have the time to file and read feeds in the traditional version of Google Reader, but with the same ability to share, rate and mark important information.

The idea of Google Labs with Reader Play was an easy way to present the most popular on the web in a format that was appropriate in any browser.Although not for the format and visuals rather BigSpy Digg Labs.

Facebook and Twitter are not without reason so successful. Nevertheless, much can still be improved in order to use Facebook and Twitter lighter and more easily with the right tools.

From the wealth of add-ons for Facebook and Twitter, we put a couple shortly before. Some do not work with all browsers for the most is the Firefox extension Grease monkey required to then execute the appropriate scripts to.

1. Set Up

The script can Fixer Facebook much more than otherwise allowed to adapt to their own needs. In addition to general attitudes can go into detail. Individual areas of the profile can for example hide. Another example: The birthdays of friends can be exported into a file that can be used with other applications such as Outlook or Yahoo calendar.

2. Facebook Purity

Many have friends who can be a burden. For the more friends you have on Facebook, the greater the flood of status messages of all kinds perhaps we would like to know who has just made friends with whom. However once make Facebook applications such as games Mafia Wars and Farmville for an avalanche of information that we do not really need, it gets so confusing that the benefits of Facebook much reduced. Facebook Purity provides on request to ensure that you of all that mitbekommt nothing more. A tidy stream is much more fun.

3. Unfriend Finder

If someone announces his friendship on Facebook, you get that indicated. By Unfriend Finder, you will immediately point out when someone no longer wants to be a friend. Deletes someone (his entire account and is therefore not a friend anymore), but later reactivated his Facebook account again, has an Unfriend Finder even out.

4. No Facebook Ads

Who wants to see any more advertising on Facebook, you can get rid of it with the script No Facebook Ads. Not only the advertising Facebook Ads, but also other advertising formats on Facebook can be seen no more. But one should bear in mind: Only through advertising Facebook can be free.

5. TinyURL Decoder

Short URLs are particularly important in areas where is not enough space to show the full address of a Web page. Twitter, with its maximum of 140 characters, the short-short Tweets made popular URLs, could shorten the URL without any links, many not posted. The major disadvantage of the small but URLs is: No one knows in advance where a one link. In the interest of their own safety, you should not click on links that you cannot judge. They could lead to illegal or dangerous websites. With TinyURL decoder can be too short URLs look like the original link looks like.

6. Nested Twitter Replies

Nested Twitter Replies with the script you will get a better overview on Twitter. A single Reply benefit does a little, because they often do not know what it’s all about. See the full discussion as a thread to be able to a remedy.

7. @Troynt’s Twitter Script

This script for Twitter provides you with a whole series of additional features from A for name completion when you start typing behind a “@” to up to include YouTube videos.

8. Twitter Old Style RT Emulator

Has introduced the Retweet button, the Twitter a while ago, does not stumble on some long time users on enthusiasm. Who in Retweet to the old simple format “username @ RT” back wants to use this script for Firefox or Safari

1. Some information that everyone can see

Information such as name and sex, and the profile photo to view all the users on Facebook. Some of the first for all visible data, however, can hide, such as the sex or the city where it currently resides. However, we must not exaggerate in these general info. Social networks only work if people reveal something of themselves. If you want to be found, for example from old friend on Facebook, is that only when the old friends can have a basis to identify the remaining public information.

2. Facebook Friends List Hide

Is the list of your contacts are hiding? Maybe you do not want others to see who you know. From the list of your contacts can infer a great deal. “Show all the friends list” is enabled by default. This means that the profile for yourself and your own contacts list visible. After clicking on the blue pencil icon next to the field in their own Friends View the corresponding check box can be removed. However, even among the contacts of contacts of the most exciting and useful information on Facebook.

3. Facebook Profile for disable Google

What should be visible to all, is found not only from users of Facebook, but also for search engines like Google, Bing and Yahoo. This can be useful, but if one does not want, it can be off slightly. To hide from the search engines so that you click on the privacy settings on the point search and remove the checkmark next to “Open search results.”

4. Applications on Facebook

The many apps from developers expand the possibilities considerably on Facebook. Use and distribute some of their own data, however. Meanwhile, Facebook offers very precise adjustments in the field ofapplications and Web pages “of privacy settings. Here each user should go through once all the points and look at everything carefully.

5. Not everyone as a friend to accept and sort contacts

The concept of friend you should take on Facebook is not verbatim, there are people who know and with whom you want to be in contact. Anyone who uses Facebook, but not primarily for professional self-expression, but wants to share his private life with his true friends on Facebook should be a little picky and do not accept any friend request. Co-workers, supervisors and other relatives to learn more quickly than they should. Who wants to separate professional and private contacts, should set up a network for business contacts-Xing a profile. The link to the profile where you can then send people who do not want to have you as a friend on Facebook.

We do not push them over the head, but can say that separating work and private life. Not least, professional contacts are valuable, they should care, but not necessarily on Facebook. Facebook offers the possibility to classify the contacts into groups, one’s own solution to this problem. If you have people from different walks of life to his friends list, you should divide them into groups that are applicable to each different privacy settings.

6. Settings, status updates
For each status message on Facebook is on the padlock icon next to the button “Share” adjustable, if all users, only friends or friends of friends can read it.

7. Residual risk
You can still give so much trouble with its privacy settings, and extremely careful of what makes it online. Their own friends can hurt a by their recklessness. Photos, you can see where you totally drunk, should not be put online. But can his friends can not just stop them once. However, it is very important to speak to his contacts at the bad behavior of this kind. In whose gallery to be found embarrassing photos, is the ultimate care for their own damage. Last one should be aware that due to technical breakdowns or attacks by hackers photos, videos and texts that were originally intended only for his closest friends, but could become public.

I’m a big fan of the music charts since it is a useful way to rediscover your music and find songs that have always had but we did not hear. Moodagent is a program for creating playlists with the peculiarity that these are created from within the iPhone and iPod touch and stored automatically in our device. The “grace” of the program is to create smart playlists into consideration certain variables available in the program interface, so that we can create playlists defining the following parameters:

• Sensual.With this parameter we can define more or less sensuous songs.
• Tender.In this case we can define canciones .
• Joy.With this variable we can define more fun songs
• Aggressive.In this case we can increase the “aggressiveness” of songs
• Time. Finally we can define  ”time”

The program is supported at all times in a web service company that analyzes our songs and according to this analysis offers us the results.

The operation is similar to Genius, but in this case is an external service to Apple’s advantage and provides the ability to customize our lists.

Configuration is very simple and just start the program you have to do is wait for our songs are synchronized and receive the results of the Web server.

After the synchronization, we can start playing with our program for creating playlists. We have two options:

• From a preset created by us manually.

• Select a song as a “guide” for the rest, like a Genius.

If you select a song, how the program is identical to Genius. The result is a playlist of 25 songs that we can keep in our iPhone and iPod touch by clicking on the “save playlist”.

If we use the other option, whenever you click on one of the variables the song list will be updated in real time to create new lists.

The only downside of the program is that the playlists are only accessible from the program, but the good thing is that the program does not use an external player if not integrated into the system, we can leave the program and resume playback from the list, move songs to the iPhone blocked … in general the same performance as the application of the iPod.

Sure you’re thinking is it pay? No, that’s also one of the good features of the program is a completely free application and if you like music you will like it as much as me.

Research commissioned by HP business oriented to face current and future threats in the data stored in the cloud, while providing strategies to secure them. Cloud Security Alliance (CSA) and HP announced new research findings detailing potential threats surrounding the use of cloud services. The research paper, entitled “Top Security Threats Cloud Report” is the result of exhaustive research of professionals in information security specialists in 29 companies, solution providers and consulting companies exposed to some of the most demanding and complex environments of the cloud world. The main findings were presented at the Cloud Summit of the RSA Security conference.

“The cloud services are clearly the next generation of information technology that companies must master. We have a shared responsibility to understand the security threats that accompany the cloud services and apply best practices to reduce them, “said Jim Reavis, Founder of Cloud Security Alliance.

The research identifies the most pressing vulnerabilities that threaten the obstruction of cloud services offerings for failing to achieve their full potential. For example, companies must be aware of “abuse and perverse use of cloud computing,” which includes threats such as Trojans and bot net Info Stealing Zeus, malware that has proven particularly effective in engaging private sensitive resources in cloud environments.

However, not all threats in this category are embedded in a malicious intent. As the social web evolves, more sites rely on Application Programming Interfaces (APIs, for its acronym in English), a set of operations that enable interaction between software programs, for presenting data from different sources.

Sites that rely on multiple APIs often suffer from “unstable security link” in which an API without security may adversely affect a larger set of participants. Together, these threats contain a combination of existing vulnerabilities are magnified in environments with gravity cloud as well as new specific techniques for cloud data and systems that put at risk. additional threats outlined in the research include:

- Malicious Sources with access to information.
- Vulnerability Technology Group.
- Loss / leakage of data.
- Plagiarism Accounts / Service and Traffic.

“In order to reduce business risk associated with the service cloud, companies must invest time and resources to adequately secure its assets in data centers,” said Archie Reed, CSA committee member and chief technical specialist in cloud services HP Secure Advantage.
