Facebook has recently announced that they'll be rolling out a "profile clean-up" tool to its users allowing them to move Facebook applications to an "extended portion" of their profile. We think this is wonderful news since Facebook has slowly turned into Myspace where user profiles are full of garbage and the key information is buried beneath "What type of popsicle are you?" quizzes and "My ...

According to Business Week, Digg is launching a series of new social networking features today. But wait, isn't Digg already pretty social? Well yeah, the site leverages the power of communities by letting users submit and vote on news stories. And you can add "friends" to your profile to make it easier to see what other people are digging. But Digg is no MySpace/Facebook/Friendster. First up, ...

Firefox profiles are a seemingly hidden feature that brings a lot of power and flexibility to the browser. Users can create separate profiles that have different add-ons installed, preferences, bookmarks - you name it. Each profile is like a new, clean slate for the browser, but accessing the profile tool isn't exactly straightforward. Other Mozilla efforts like Thunderbird and the Mozilla Suite ...

After the recent acquisition from Yahoo!, I only just got around to checking out MyBlogLog (My profile shows me registering on 1/26/2007). These days, most social services integrate with the Flickr API, so I thought nothing of it when I saw that I could set that up. However, according to a post on Mashable!, it looks like this is a shiny new feature (we love those here). Further investigation ...

Sxipper is a Firefox (1.5 or 2.0) add-on that allows you to set then forget your personal details. All your logins will be kept safe behind your own personal guard dog. It strikes me a lot like roboform, but is free for use and stores all your info for work, personal, openID, and all your other identities. Sxipper lets you hand-pick the color and icon for your profile, and even import a v-card. ...

Digg user 'Geekforlife' has decided to put his profile, ranked 73rd out of all users, up for auction on eBay. Amidst accusations hurling at both Digg and Netscape for their respective approaches towards the social news site and business models, one of the many debates that has arisen centers around a question: can the participation of these sites' users (especially the top contributors) be ...

Here is yet another Flickr toy to add to your arsenal, hailing from flagrantdisregard.com's extensive Flickr Toys section: the Flickr Profile Widget banner generator. You have a nice array of options to specify, such as which of your photos to show (most recent, most interesting, random recent, random interesting), and you can chose whether to show the photo count I have pictured here. As ...

Have you ever spent all night refreshing that special someone's MySpace profile over and over again just waiting for for their relationship status to change to "Single" and thought, "there's got to be a better way"? Okay, um... me neither. But say you had a friend who did that. You could tell your friend to check out SingleStat.us, which will watch their stalkee's special someone's profile and ...

Out of the box, there's no way to make two different version of Firefox, or two copies running different user profiles, run at the same time. This can be a big pain when doing stuff like developing extensions or testing alpha builds, or maybe you just want to have both your and your roommate's profiles open at once. Of course, there's a workaround. It requires setting the MOZ_NO_REMOTE environment ...
