The other day, on both of my computers, an auto-update popped up for Apple and I was hoping it was a new iPhone update but it was to install Safari. I was pretty surprised by this considering I don’t even have Safari installed on my computer. I wasn’t sure if it was an update of Safari for the iPhone, but it wasn’t. Apparently, this tactic has become a bit controversial.

It is really unbelievable that Facebook hasn’t launched an Instant Messaging service until now. There is also great potential for their service to have a major impact on other IM services. Facebook has become very popular and if they turn their messaging service into something that can be used like AOL IM or even combine SMS features they could be a force to be reckoned with.
