Alright, so Facebook kind of failed to accurately estimate when it would be taking long-talked-about profile redesign. The number last tossed around was July 16. The day came, the day went, and nothing. No changes made. That may have made for an anticlimactic Wednesday for some. So will the second try, scheduled for this evening, according to Justin Smith of Inside Facebook, turn out to be the true charmer? As you may be aware, Facebook ...

On Thursday we told you that 4,591 Internet Movie Database users had rated The Dark Knight a 9.7 out of 10 (or a 9.0 out of 10 from regular IMDb voters), good enough for the #4 spot on the top 250 movies of all time list. We expected the film to slide down a few slots as a larger sample of votes came in. We were wrong. It’s now Saturday night, and with 19,000 more ...

Filed under: iPhoneThinking of making the switch? No, not Windows to Mac, Blackberry to iPhone! There's a great list of what you need to know to ensure a smooth transition at Web Worker Daily (WWD). Some of the highlights include the ease of moving applications between home pages and multiple calendar support.It's not all wine and roses on the Apple end of things, though, and WWD lists the email experience as the Blackberry's domain.

Could the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles be returning to the big screen in a new live action film? The Playmates Toys website has the following statement: “Following the success of the ‘TMNT’ theatrical release in 2007, Mirage licensing and Imagi studios have begun work on a new live-action TMNT film for 2010. It’s the turtles like you’ve never seen them before! Shellalicious!” As much as I enjoyed the TMNT animated feature, I was left longing ...

You know what little startup companies need these days? They need to hire more people! It may be a frightening thought, but in an increasingly social world - being social is becoming an important full time job. "Community Manager" is a position increasingly being hired for at large corporations (see Jeremiah Owyang's growing list of people with that kind of job) but what about smaller companies? We asked a number of people what they thought ...

Interesting. I've very rarely heard community manager as a role in startups. Then again, the idea of product manager at a startup is often split into 3 or more roles: product marketer, product planner, program manager, project manager.

I first learned of Delver earlier this year at DEMO, and was impressed with the search engine that returned results based on your social graph on Facebook. It was a useful idea that could be applied to nearly every search query I could imagine, and a handy yet indirect way of receiving recommendations through such searches. Now, many months later, Delver is ready for its alpha launch, which I’ve been happily testing out for the ...
