Facebook Unity Applet for Ubuntu Puts Alerts on Your Desktop Launcher
Google+ might be the cool new kid in town but big ol’ Facebook remains the grandaddy of social networking for many.
Keeping up with Facebook on Ubuntu has never been an issue; there are a tonne of applications available that let you do everything from read your stream to upload photos and update your status.
Hangouts, Sparks, Circles, and Huddles – we make sense of Google+
Yesterday, Google unveiled its new social network and competitor to Facebook, ‘Google+.’ The service aims to bring the search, phone, advertising, video chat (seriously, what doesn’t Google compete in nowadays) giant into the realm of social networks, currently dominated by Mr Zuckerberg’s Facebook.
We don’t usually cover social networks on OMG! Ubuntu!, but we figured that the introduction of Google+ means a lot to the future landscape of the Internet, and the fact that invites are scarce (luckily we were sent a couple) compelled me to write a run-down article covering some of the basic features.
Facebook Bans KDE Apps, Deletes Pics Uploaded Using Them [Update]

The top 5 desktops from our Facebook competition

We asked our Facebook fans what they’re doing to share Ubuntu, turns out quite a bit
Last weekend I posted a status update on our OMG! Ubuntu! Facebook page asking our fans to leave a comment with their Ubuntu success stories.
A few dozen comments later and we had a nice collection of some stories, everything from people converting their parents to also people replacing Windows XP with Ubuntu on aging school computers in their local community.

Gwibber, facebook and You
