drag2share: It's Free Shipping Day. Get Guaranteed Christmas Delivery from These Stores Today [Shopping]

Source: http://lifehacker.com/5868623/its-free-shipping-day-get-guaranteed-christmas-delivery-from-these-stores-today

If you didn't realize time is running out for holiday gift ordering, perhaps Free Shipping Day will remind you. The fourth shipping holiday this year is today, Friday, December 16th. Buy from a participating store for delivery by Christmas Eve.

A representative from Free Shipping Day wrote me that these are among the best shipping deals offered now, compared to what shoppers might currently or normally get from these shops:

• Chico's - Free shipping on all orders.
• Puma - Free shipping on all orders.
• Hush Puppies - Free shipping plus $10 off your order.
• Peruvian Connection - Free shipping and up to 40% off all orders.
• Sierra Trading Post - Free shipping on all orders.
• Disney Store - Free shipping on any order.
• The Body Shop - Free shipping on all orders.

There are over 2,400 other online stores offering free shipping today, however, so you definitely have a lot more choices. The free shipping is offered within the contiguous United States.

Note that some stores notorious for being more risky when it comes to timely delivery are also participating in the pseudo-holiday, so it might pay, still, to consider not just the free shipping offer.

If you've been procrastinating about placing your online order, today's a good day to finally take shopping action.

Free Shipping Day

Android: Facebook rolled out its new Timeline feature yesterday, and if you've enabled the cool new interface, you can update the Android app to get it on your phone as well.

The new version is mostly an interface update, but if you're using Timeline, you'll definitely want to check it out. You get the cover photo, map thumbnails, and the top-down view of all your posts. You can even swipe through albums right from the Timeline view, which is a really nice touch.

drag2share: Fab Now Looks An Awful Lot Like Pinterest

Source: http://www.businessinsider.com/fab-now-looks-just-like-pinterest-2011-12

On the heels of its $40 million round announced last week, design flash sales site Fab has launched a new LiveFeed feature. It looks an awful lot like Pinterest, the massive photo sharing virtual pinboard site.

It makes Fab's site even more social in a way other e-commerce companies aren't currently doing. Andreessen Horowitz's Jeff Jordan led both Fab's $40 million financing and Pinterest's $27 million, so it's no coincidence that both design companies are sharing ideas.

Fab's new feed captures all activity taking place on the site including purchasing, sharing, commenting, and more. It's a unique way to see what others are doing and buying on the site.

LiveFeed is just one feature of Fab. The rest of the site and the buying experience is the same as always.

Here's what Fab's new feed looks like:

And here's what Pinterest's page looks like:

drag2share: When Dell Kills Off Netbooks, You Know They're Done For Good [Laptops]

Source: http://gizmodo.com/5868692/when-dell-kills-off-netbooks-you-know-theyre-done-for-good

Netbooks? They're already dead to us. But that hasn't stopped manufacturers churning them out. Now Dell has announced that it's killing them off — a sure sign they're done.

Let's face it: Dell might sell a lot of computers — hey, even discontinued ones to the US Government! — but it's hardly revolutionary.

Now, Dell has announced that it's through with netbooks, and has already stopped selling their Inspiron Minis. It also has no intention of releasing new netbooks based on Intel's forthcoming Cedar Trail platform. In other words, it is done with the category.

And when a company as far from the cutting-edge as Dell announces that it's pulling out of the netbook game, it means that the breed of underpowered computers is officially dead. Gone. Forgotten forever. Don't be sad though — they were always crap anyway.

Speaking to The Verge, Dell's Marketing Director Alison Gardner was clear about their strategy for the future: "Thin and powerful is where it is at for us." Notice how she didn't use the world Ultrabook? Well done, Dell! You're going up in my estimations. [Liliputing via The Verge]

drag2share: Microsoft takes the wraps off of So.cl, a search-based social network for students

Source: http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/15/microsoft-takes-the-wraps-off-of-so-cl-a-search-based-social-ne/

A few months back we got a quick sneak peek at Microsoft's social experiment which was, at the time, called Tulalip. Now it's finally gone official and scored an even harder to pronounce name So.cl. The basic premise is this: you sign up and search for stuff (using Bing, naturally) and your queries are automatically shared with your friends. From there things get even stranger. The Video Party feature lets users group chat while watching the same clip online, but there's no video chat. You also can't upload photos, but you can make a "montage" of images collected from around the web. To kick start what Microsoft sees as less of a social and more of a learning network, the company has partnered with NYU, Syracuse and the University of Washington. Hit up the source link for more details and to add your name to the waiting list -- for now Redmond's social search toy is in a limited beta.
