So, I'm the admin for like 5 different google groups. I've set the groups to moderation for new members and membership has to be approved. Still, still, we are getting hit with spam. Finally, as a desperate last measure, I've closed the list down for reading, unless you are logged in. I kind of wanted to keep the list open for reading, but oh well...I discovered that google groups is being hit with spam and there has even been some chatter on the 'net that google is slowly dumping google groups.

A question asked by one of my coworkers (and you all thought I just answered social media, opensource, or database questions, right? LOL)Q: How does a phone text to email? Does the computer have to have anything magic?A: You can text to any email system. It's the phone that has the magic. Each texting phone (which is just about every cell phone except for a few REALLY old ones) has an email address attached to the phone number, so it's essentially email to email. SMS (short message service) = texting, which is based on really old GSM (Global System Messaging) which was back with early cells.

CUPERTINO, CA—Claiming that he completely forgot about the much-hyped electronic device until the last minute, a frantic Steve Jobs reportedly stayed up all night Tuesday in a desperate effort to design Apple's new tablet computer.

Ever heard of Dunbar’s Number? According to British anthropologist Robin Dunbar, it’s the cognitive limit to the number of people you can be friends with. The number is 150, meaning your brain can only handle that much friends, and – shockingly enough – it also applies to Facebook.

Very interesting, more about mashable.
