The Big G has detailed a few changes that are en route in forthcoming updates to both the Google+ desktop interface, the Android app and — with an undisclosed lag — the iOS app. You and your inner circle will soon be able to attach Hangout invitations to specific posts, so you can “upgrade the conversation from long-form to live” with a single click. The Hangouts On Air self-broadcasting feature is still in development and only available to selected celebs, but Google is about to roll it out to “hundreds more” public figures and users with large followings, while also adding features that will eventually appeal to normal people’s vanity too: including the ability to upload full-length and private recordings of your supposedly charismatic rants to your YouTube account

Facebook is about to turn your social life into an online newspaper. That’s the takeaway from a new slate of changes the company unveiled yesterday, ahead of its annual f8 developer conference in San Francisco. From now on, if you log in to Facebook after a lengthy hiatus, your news feed — much like the front page of a daily paper — will consist of a list of “top stories,” photos and updates that were posted while you were away, with each high-priority item tagged with a blue earmark.

Nothing warms our hearts quite like the thought of corporate suits and government workers pumping out the tunes of Iris DeMent and Amy Martin as they scurry throughout their busy days. As we’ve previously speculated , a new service for BlackBerry Messenger — dubbed BBM Music — has now become real official. For $5 per month, users may keep up to 50 songs in their personal library, which is kinda reminiscent of the wistful days filled with 128MB MP3 players .

Every so often, Chuzzlewitt, Figglesworth and the rest of the Concise Oxford English Dictionary’s Council of Elders gather around a stone in Puddingshire, where they come up with ways to modernize the English language. New words are added, archaic ones are cut, goats are sacrificed. It’s all very messy — especially when internet lingo gets involved, as is so often the case.

Facebook’s facial recognition feature probably won’t find too many smiles in Germany, where federal regulators are challenging the social network to change its ways, or face the consequences. On Tuesday, Hamburg’s Data Protection Authority (DPA) sent a letter to the company, advising it to obtain user permission before harvesting biometric data, as outlined by EU privacy laws that require consumer consent.
