If Twitter users named U.S. cities, what would Americans be calling their hometowns right now? Inbox Q has the answer, after it drilled through mountains of tweets containing geotagged data of Twitter users’ locations. Some of the names are those that are often used already, such as “Hotlanta”…

A blog is a website in which items are posted on a regular basis and displayed in reverse chronological order. The term blog is a shortened form of weblog or web log.  Blogs can range from the personal and business, to the political, and can focus on one niche subject or a whole gamut of subject matters.

WordPress is a software you can use to create your company website or blog and is the most popular blogging software in the world. You can use WordPress as a hosted platform, where you register an account and create your website/blog which will be hosted by WordPress, or as a self-hosted platform, where you download the core files of the software to install and manage on your server.

Yes, you read it right – 5oo million members.Facebook is expected to announce this week that they’ve hit the 500 million users milestone which was projected earlier in the year for 2010.

The company has launched “Facebook Stories,” a “visual memorial” to the ways that the site has changed people’s lives for the better. You can now submit your story here at Facebook Stories. Each story will be limited to the same number of characters a Facebook status caps out at: 420.

The full trailer for The Social Network, the highly anticipated ‘Facebook movie’ written by Aaron Sorkin and directed by David Fincher that chronicles the history of Facebook, has been released on the Internet. There has been steady build up of buzz for the movie since last month when the studio released teaser trailers without any footage showing the actors. However, this latest trailer brings the missing footages, and the movie is looking really fantastic.

The new trailer includes many of the same brief and concise quotes that we’ve been hearing in the teaser trailers but this time around with the footage to accompany them. As would be expected, the trailer is loaded with scenes of Jesse Eisenberg’s Zuckerberg, Justin Timberlake’s Sean Parker, with appearances from the Winklevoss twins, Dustin Moskovitz, and more. The movie is slated for release October 1 2010.

There’s a new scam on Facebook promising to show you a video revealing the “truth” about Coca-Cola, but all it’s really after is your personal info.

The message reads: “I am part of the 98.0% of people that are NEVER gonna drink Coca Cola again after this HORRIFIC video,” followed by a link.

If you click on the link, you’ll be asked to share the video seven times. However, the counter doesn’t work, so eventually you’ll be tempted to click on a link that says “Cant Be Bothered To Wait? –> Click Here To Skip This.”

The second link takes you to a poll, which — you guessed it — is the central part of the scam. It asks you for personal information you should definitely not reveal to just anyone or any application.

As always, we advise you not to click on suspicious links, even if it comes from your Facebook friends who might have fallen for the scam. And under no circumstances should you give away your personal information, unless you’re absolutely sure why and who you’re giving it to.
