The Tumblelog of Phlegon

Imagine this: four teenagers take to Facebook to create a fake profile that continually misrepresents your son as a gay racist. Then consider that profile amasses 580 plus friends.

A new third-party offering from Jajah known as Jajah@call is expected to go into beta Thursday morning that will allow Twitter users to initiate a two-way voice chat with other users by typing “@call @username”—where “username” is someone’s Twitter ID—into any Twitter client.

One of the first things my dad looked for when I got him on Gmail was the ability to see a list of contacts and choose recipients for a new message. Finally, Google has added that functionality, though it defaults to the “Most contacted” list. The question will simply change to “Why are some of my contacts missing?” At least the answer to that question isn’t that a feature is missing, however.
