Feeling overwhelmed with keeping up appearances on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Google+ and all the other social media sites you use? Stephanie Rosenbloom, a New York Times reporter, provides some tips on this week’s Bits: Tech Talk podcast for streamlining your online presence so you have more time for your offline life. (Also in the interest of saving time, the Tip of the Week segment looks at a way to speed up e-mail conversations by jumping to chat mode from a message.)
Not sure what the term “augmented reality” means these days? This week’s Tech Talk Term of the Week segment explains it all.
The business world has always had its ups and downs, but the Flame Index site tracks a company’s bad times. It rounds up news about events affecting a company and ranks the companies having the worst time of it. John Jones, one of the site’s creators, explains how the Flame Index collects the headlines and creates its frequently updated list of corporate woe.
This week’s episode also takes a quick look at the week’s news — including Google’s grab for Motorola Mobility, Microsoft’s new Windows 8 blog and the Federal Trade Commission’s crackdown on companies that violate the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act.
