Trying to prioritize here …
I’m at a loss regarding which social thing I should update presently. And how should it flow? What’s the one thing to update that is the equivalent digital domino that updates the rest?
And what for dinner tonight?

Here’s the light reading on google+ you’ve hungered for. Ben does a great job at breaking it down a bit in his introduction. I’m at the point of looking forward to the days when the conversation within G+ is not about G+.

Foxnewspolitics Twitter Feed Hacked
Published July 04, 2011
| FoxNews.com
FoxNews.com’s Twitter feed for political news, FoxNewspolitics, was hacked early Monday morning.
Hackers sent out several malicious and false tweets claiming that President Obama had been assassinated. Those reports were incorrect, of course, and the president was spending the July 4 holiday with his family at the White House.
The tweets have been removed from the feed.
FoxNews.com alerted the U.S. Secret Service, which is declining public comment. Jeff Misenti, vice president and general manager of Fox News Digital, said FoxNews.com was working with Twitter to address the situation as quickly as possible.
“We will be requesting a detailed investigation from Twitter about how this occurred, and measures to prevent future unauthorized access into FoxNews.com accounts,” Misenti said.
FoxNews.com regrets any distress the false tweets may have created.

First, if I had read this tweet unknowingly it would have scare the innards out of me.
What is surprising is that Fox News is assuming that Twitter is on the hook for this one as follows …
“We will be requesting a detailed investigation from Twitter about how this occurred, and measures to prevent future unauthorized access into FoxNews.com accounts,” Misenti said.
Hopefully their account login/password was not “admin/admin”
