Google+ Comments on our Blog

With the announcement that Google integrated Google+ comments into Blogger, I'm very excited to announce that we have officially switched the commenting system to the new Google+ comments.  By doing this, we have the potential to interact with people about posts like never before.  Give it a try below and see how it works.  

To get them on your blog, all you have to do is link your Google+ profile to your Blogger and then go to the Google+ section of your blog.  There will be a new checkbox that says Use Google+ Comments on this blog.  It's as simple as that.  If you have a custom template it might take some extra work but it's possible.  If you are having problems installing comments into your own blog then post a comment below and we'll help you out.

Download Facebook Home here

Many people were very anxious to hear what Facebook has in store for them on April 4th.  Facebook fans were speculating that they will announce a new Facebook OS, or even a Facebook branded phone on the market but instead they introduced the Facebook Home.  Facebook Home is actually just a program that will replace the regular Android launcher and take over your whole screen.  What do I mean?  Watch the video below to see how it looks in action:


They said it will be available for download on April 12th and that day has come.  Officially it will support the HTC One, HTC One X and HTC One X+, Samsung Galaxy S III and S IV and the Galaxy Note II.  Other devices might be supported in the future but it's not clear yet.  They did however, introduce a new HTC phone called the HTC First.  It will come with a Dual-Core Snapdragon 400 processor, 1GB of RAM, 5MP rear-facing camera, 1.3MP front-facing camera, Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, AT&T 4G LTE, and will be the first phone that will come out of the box with Facebook Home pre-loaded. Its specs are not on the bleeding edge but it will only cost $99 with a contract from AT&T so it's not that bad.  The best part is that you can remove the Facebook Home app once you get the phone and it's a stock Android phone much like the Nexus line from Google.  Many more phones are expected to come pre-loaded like this in the future.

So if you have one of the above compatible phones, head over to the Play Store now to get it and see how it works.
