Google’s promised to get all of Los Angeles’ city employees switched over to Google Docs by June 30th, then promptly broke that promise.

A Chicago woman has been slapped with a $50,000 lawsuit by her landlord. Horizon Group Management filed the lawsuit after the woman complained about her apartment on Twitter. Horizon was angered by her claim that they didn’t care about the mold problem in her apartment. Although she did not have her tweets protected, the complaint only reached about 20 people. Horizon claims the statement “”maliciously and wrongfully” defamed them.

Facebook, the once college only social network (does anyone remember those days?), is getting older and older. Eventually you will face the familiar “You have a friend request,” but it’s from your mom. What do you do? We had a round table discussion at Gadgetell to see what we would do faced with this odd eventuality.

There’s this new website out there called hunch.com. It’s developed by an 11 person team, made up of a crew of MIT computer scientists and the co-founder of flickr, so it isn’t like it’s being put together by some 12 year old and her gaggle of giggling girlfriends. (Or so we hope). And it’s pretty much the tech-ed up version of the ole magic 8 ball. Minus all the shaking. You know… “Should I ask that hot girl from Accounting out on a date?” “Should I take that new job offer?” “Do I look fat in these pants?” Well, maybe not the “fat in these pants” one…Hunch may have some tact.

If you add @myEN in the tweet, Evernote will save that tweet. If you want a note to be private, just direct message @myEN. Many of us use Twitter on the more »

Social networking has become such a popular target due to the huge numbers of people using them these days and the viral nature of them. By that I mean the way people are willing to pass links, videos, and apps around to their friends. Anyone on Facebook knows that third party apps are wildly popular, and if you have a large friends list you probably get tons of drinks, gifts, glitter, snacks, and other offerings sent to you each day. The problem is some of them are malicious, such as the worm that hit the service recently, sending fake notifications announcing your friend had reported you to Facebook for terms of service violations. The friend’s name was included, resulting in lots of angst, anger, and unfriending.

With all the announcements out of Google the last few days, including offline Gmail access for iPhone and Android, many Windows Mobile users have expressed concern over the future of Google innovation on their platform of choice. With the release of Google Mobile App for Windows Mobile, you can almost hear a collected sigh of relief from WM fanboys everywhere. Wednesday, Google, via the Official Google Mobile Blog, made known the immediate availability of the new app which aims to speed up mobile searching for Google power users.

The new application can be mapped either to a hardware key or the Start menu, and includes a handy homescreen plugin. This application mirrors functionality seen in a Google search homescreen plugin that was released in March of last year, but does make significant improvements in some areas. The new app saves your recent search history for quick access, and provides links to popular Google web apps; such as Google Maps and Gmail.

Google launched the redesign of its popular iGoogle portal last week and the complaints began almost immediately. Users are upset with the new look and furious that the redesigned interface was sprung on them with no prior announcement.

The interface allows users to collect web “gadgets” such as map and weather apps, organize RSS feeds and aggregate info such as news, sports and GMail. The revamped interface includes a new “canvas” view that allows gadgets to be displayed full screen and new navigation bar. Find out what else has changed after the break.
