Walt Mossberg – Apps Raise the iPad’s Aptitude for Real Work
Given Facebook’s growth rate, reaching the 500 million-member milestone was merely a matter of time, and that time came this morning. CEO Mark Zuckerberg posted the news, and, as BoomTown reported last week, launched an application called Facebook Stories to collect uplifting tales from the membership. Along with the post came personal thank-yous from Zuckerberg and the staff.
Along with original content and posts from across the Dow Jones network, this section of AllThingsD includes Must-Reads From Other Web Sites — pieces we’ve read, discussions we’ve followed, stuff we like. Six posts from external sites are included here each weekday, but we only run the headlines. We link to the original sites for the rest. These posts are explicitly labeled, so it’s clear that the content comes from other Web sites, and for clarity’s sake, all outside posts run against a pink background.
We also solicit original full-length posts and accept some unsolicited submissions.
