Heartbleed got you a little more worried about your passwords? Here’s how to do two-factor auth on Twitter.

If you have a Facebook page and you’re as frustrated as I am: a guide to increasing your organic Facebook page reach.

Twitter has purchased Gnip. “Gnip is one of a handful of companies with full access to the stream of activity from Twitter, which has garnered it a lot of knowledge about how to deal with such immense data volumes and deliver it as a product to businesses.”

More Twitter: Scientists at Pennsylvania State University claim that can make a flu diagnosis based on Twitter data that’s availabe to the public. I assume that’s using an algorithim that looks for more than tweets saying “I have the flu.” It could get a little creepy, though: “The Penn State researches note that although they focused on remotely reconstructing a confidential diagnosis of influenza, this technique could be used to identify diseases associated with greater social stigma like HIV. Social media now clearly has a potential social cost.”

Now there’s a “Snapchat for e-mail”. “Similar to Snapchat, Pluto Mail allows you to choose when your email expires (although the options, of course, are far vaster). … Because while you can delete emails after you’ve sent them you can’t erase their subject lines from a recipient’s account.”

Google’s new terms of service make it clear: it is scanning your e-mail for the purpose of generating ads.

More Google: it has released a “Helpouts” app for iOS. “Helpouts for iOS works like Helpouts on the web, offering users the ability to connect to any of the free video chats made available on the Google-powered platform.”

Every wonder exactly what the heck you’re doing, hanging out on the Internet all day? Now you can take an Internet selfie. Good afternoon, Internet…
