 | The popular-in-2004 photohosting service Webshots announced a relaunch, but glossed over the fact they'll be deleting your old photos if you don't update your account. Welcome to the next stage of internet linkrot. |  | Their social team tweeted a horribly tasteless non-joke about Barack Obama's dead grandmother. |  | A billion people are on Facebook. That puts it right up there with television, chocolate and Mandarin Chinese. |  | Colleen Lachowicz is a State Senate candidate by day, "orc assassination rogue" by night. Or does facing off with troglodytes and balancing a life and a raid schedule make her MORE qualified? |  | Facebook says Facebook is like a chair. A doorbell. A dance floor. A great nation. Facebook is EVERYTHING. |  | Where the Wi-Fi is $175, and it sometimes works. |  | What a difference a font makes. Via Gizmodo. |  | Think it's crazy now? It's going to get much worse before it gets better. |  | Mozilla just announced Persona, a new online identification verification system. It's a long shot, but an important one. |  | These 16 things are guaranteed to happen every time. |  | The fashion industry has made great use of social media over the last few years to give fans a window into the glamorous world it is. But now some of the business's most influential players are using it for extremely silly spats. |  | There are now one billion people on Facebook. It might seem like a good thing, but trust me: it just means more of THIS. |  | When you think of maps on a phone, you probably think of Google Maps (or you grumble about the new Apple Maps). But Nokia — yeah, that Nokia — may have the best maps around. |  | As of Sept. 14, there are officially a billion Facebook users. In an interview with Bloomberg BW, Mark Zuckerberg drops a few interesting bits. That "each year the amount of stuff that each individual shares is growing at this exponential rate." And that with a billion users, "Now really everyone can start to rely on us as infrastructure," including other huge companies like Skype. Oh and that "It isn’t a core human need to use Facebook," so netting a billion users is pretty impressive. |  | The first billion was just the beginning. Only 6,000,000,000 to go. | |
