Wheee!! I'm closing in on my first 100,000 fans on Facebook (98,408) ... and also my first 100,000 followers on +Google+ (93,095). What's interesting is I've had my FB fan page since 2008 and G+ profile since the launch in 2011. I'll bet if I really stepped up my activity level on G+, I could pass the 100k milestone here first. ha!! ;)

REPORT: Google Battling Facebook For Navigation App, Waze -- wowee, exciting news in some ways. I love this app!!! Do you use Waze? The Israeli-based company has 100+ employees and 45M users. Apparently, if Facebook were to acquire the company, it would be contingent on liquidating the assets in Israel and re-locating select employees. Hmmmm. :(

Neato! Have you seen the new icons on the top right of your Google docs for when users access shared files? Too fun -- they are all unique wee animals! Cat, dolphin, rhino, giraffe, capybara.... even chupacabra (had to Google that one, haha!). And if the user is logged into Google, naturally their G+ icon shows - when you hover, you get the usual Add to Circles option.

Does +Google+ have specific guidelines on what can/cannot be on your cover image? Facebook recently (quietly) changed its rules and there's been much buzz about it... yet there is a contradicting story circulating about a Facebook manager in Australia saying the tight rules will be reinstated in a few weeks' time. Hmmmm!! #bizarre #facebookchanges

Wow, what a beautiful, inspirational cause -- the true story of a young man fascinated by filmmaking, travel and nature... he took a small piece of bone from a Mayan cave despite severe warnings not to do so... and ended up being diagnosed with Leukemia shortly after he got back home. He then proceeded to document his journey with the illness and his dying wish was for his sister to help put all the footage into a movie he always wanted to make. Watch the video and donate what you can on +Indiegogo. I just did.
