...things that grownups already do on the Internet, from blogging to participating in PTA newsgroups to mass e-mailing bad jokes to friends and family, could be described as social networking. The term is applied mainly, though, to the services that enable users to collect and communicate with a network of "friends." Friendster was the first, in 2002. The rise of these outfits has been one of the great business and societal stories of recent years. Americans now spend more time on MySpace, which was founded in 2004 and has supplanted Friendster, than on any other domain, including Google...

Police believe the cars used in Friday's attempted attack on London's West End had been driven to the capital from Scotland.

On Sunday morning, officers raided several addresses in Scotland, including several homes in Houston, a quiet commuter village six miles northwest of Paisley. Two men were also arrested on the M6 motorway in northern England...
...example: AT&T's data network is slow (though it seems to be improving). It's a bummer that the camera doesn't shoot video. The glass touchscreen keyboard is kinda freaky (though if there was ever a moment for an ad campaign to license Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Put 'Em on the Glass," this is it). GPS would be nice. So would instant messaging. YouTube videos - in the little YouTube client Apple has ginned up - sound great but look lousy. And yeah, there's that content management quirk mentioned above...
