There is a rumor floating around that Google is working on a new social network, called “Google Me.” Digg founder Kevin Rose, tweeted last week (and then later retracted) that he learned from a very credible source that Google is about to unveil a rival to Facebook.

Facebook is rolling out a small, but much requested feature: the ability to “Like” comments. You’ve always been able to “Like” status updates, wall posts, photos, videos, but never comments. So now, all those witty remarks you’ve made on Facebook will not go unnoticed! According to a post on The Facebook Blog, when you click “Like” on a comment the commenter will receive a notification. Other people who can see the comment based on its privacy setting also will be able to see who has liked the comment. Now all we need is a “Dislike”...
