New York Magazine (recently famous for getting Lindsay Lohan naked) did a piece called “One Is the Loveliest Color” which profiled five people who only wear one color.
Why would anyone choose to go monochrome?

After an endless stream of bitching and moaning from the Digg community, Digg has finally added an Images section to their site, along with a variety of other changes that include a new universal taxonomy, a new image crawler, and new sorting and duplicate image detection.
They’re all definitely useful changes, which makes me wonder why it took Digg so long to make them.
BTW: If you’d like to friend me on Digg, or send me any stories, my profile is:

Lucy Dee is a 22-year-old spokesmodel for a couple rather high traffic websites.
She’s also beautiful.
Thus, Lucy has gained quite a following of weirdos, creeps, and psychos who tend to say and do anything to get a response from her on her various profiles.
To show what some people will do behind the anonymity of a computer, Lucy cartoonizes each sender’s face (to protect the guilty), and then posts their full correspondence for the world to see.

As Facebook continues to grow, it continues to need new ways of making money from each of its users.
One of those ways is Project Beacon, where Facebook builds a page for an advertiser, and then links to it from various profile pages.
How does it create those links?
By monitoring what sites you visit, and then phoning home after you visit an advertiser’s site.
As expected, many users are not exactly excited about Facebook’s ability to watch everything they do, and are looking for ways to stop the Beacon.
Luckily, it’s as easy as using a JavaScript blocking plug-in in Firefox, and blocking the specific URL that Beacon uses.
The steps are as follows:
It’s good to know that there’s always someone looking out for the little guy.

TwitterPoster is a collection of Twitter profile pictures that have been sized according to their degree of influence on Twitter.
Though there are only three sizes, so it’s not a direct and exact representation, TwitterPoster does take into account the number of subscribers, as well as the number of tweets that each person makes, so it’s a good way to see who is utilizing the technology, and who is not.
Plus, there are different country specific posters, so you can see who’s big in Deutschland.
Did you make the cut?
