Google Plus Seems Like Social Gold, But Is The Timing Right?

Huffington Post — Make no mistake: Google+ is indeed Google's shiniest social product yet, both aesthetically and on the backend, to challenge Facebook head on and claim a spot on the social media map. It's set up in a way that the average Internet user can immediately pick up on. It's built on social circles, a familiar concept in real-life, so why not translate that to the Web?

Statue of Liberty Tornado Photo on Twitter Dupes Media

Statue of Liberty Tornado Photo on Twitter Dupes Media

Huffington Post — It's 2010. That means we can get lazy and just grab photos from Twitter and call it journalism, right? Absolutely not.

Especially in situations of chaos, when we're most vulnerable. Case in point: tonight's severe weather in New York. TIME published a photo from Twitter on its website of a "tornado" passing the Statue of Liberty. In fact, TIME devoted an entire news story to this photo headlined, "Gotham Tornado: Amazing Photo of Twister Passing Statue Of Liberty."
