If you read my article at TMA Toy Reviews and want more details and links about some of the projects I outlined, check out these supplemental links.

Where do you find links of interest? Is it really from Google? I was looking up information on the Facebook purchase of FriendFeed and found an article talking about Facebook being the next big search engine…Google’s “real” threat. At first you probably go, “psssh, whatever,” but there was a time when you said that about HotBot too.

I never really bothered with my MySpace page, I didn’t use my Facebook page. Instead I hopped on Twitter. Twitter made more sense to me for what I wanted to get out of it. Twitter is truly a tool that can be used in many different ways. I made some new friends by way of Twitter and, despite best efforts, quickly found that many friends lived in one of two worlds - Twitter or Facebook.

We’re in a time of short URLs. With the Twitters and Facebooks and everything else, the links we share with people need to short. Services like TinyURL and TwitterHat turn a long web address into something text message friendly, but do short links make your actual domain and address meaningless?
