My dad and I share a birthday. There’s really something special that I can’t describe about it…but there’s nothing like it. I have the best dad ever.

New Twitter Account Finds and Shares your Debit Card Information
People will share just about anything these days. From pics of their license, to important documents (like X-rays) and of course every last thing they ate. But some things, like Debit Cards, should never ever be snapped.
Enter: @needadebitcard - The account scours Twitter’s search for people posting photos of their Debit card and then serves them up for the world to see.
There have been a number of these privacy projects popping up online for a while now. I remember fondly the foursquare hack PleaseRobMe.com and the recently well-publicized We Know What You’re Doing by Callum Haywood.

Facebook adds a Timeline Link next to your friends’ names in chat
After reporting just after midnight EST that Facebook had added an easy switch voice option for brands, this morning we find more updates. It would appear that they have added an address book icon, encouraging anyone to visit a friend’s timeline right from the news feed.
These little cues hopefully generate more page and profile views benefitting both Facebook’s business initiatives of increased traffic and ad revenue, but also their site’s initiatives: keeping people connected.
What do you think of this?
Twitter drops the pop-up on replies
When posting my co-worker’s blog on Swacket late Tuesday night I discovered that when replying to tweets in the mentions view, the box has changed.
When you reply, the entry box is now under the original tweet, removing the popup. Looks like, just as with the recent announcement of expanded tweets, Twitter is moving toward a more streamlined approach to encouraging conversation on the platform.
