Posted by TechCrunch
According to a new study by website monitoring service Pingdom, 24.3% of the top 10,000 websites in the world (as reported by Alexa) now feature some form of official Facebook integration on their homepages. That’s already a pretty impressive number, but once you also include basic links to Facebook, the number goes up to 49.3%. The company’s official like button is featured on 7.3% of these sites.
Facebook is clearly becoming a “part of the Web’s DNA,” as Pingdom puts it, and it’s far ahead of its competitors. It’s worth noting, though, that the number of sites that integrate Facebook seems to have remained relatively stable over the last year. Almo[...]

Mozilla hands normal folks the keys to making their own websites, right from the browser
Posted by VentureBeat
Mozilla has just launched Thimble, a tidy new way to create simple websites from within a browser window.
Thimble is visual enough for coding newbies, but it also lets you play around under the hood with HTML and CSS — a great way to learn how to code in a hands-on environment. You can start making a site from scratch, or you can choose to tinker around with a pre-existing template.
Once you’re done creating your site, you can publish it with a single click, then continue to edit and tweak as needed. You can also choose to preview your work prior to publishing it. Thimble also offers basic debugging, which Mozilla refers to as a sort of spell-checker for code.

Google Promotes Energy Savings With Apps
Posted by PCWorld
Companies that turn off their local servers for e-mail, productivity and collaboration applications and switch to the cloud-hosted Google Apps suite can save significant amounts of money in energy costs, Google said on Monday.
The savings typically range between 65 percent and 85 percent, and involve reductions in consumption of energy for powering and cooling the local servers, Google said, citing results of an internal study.
Google offered as an example the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), which signed up for Google Apps for Government this year and moved about 17,000 employees to it from on-premise systems. The GSA cut energy consumption by servers related to email and collabo[...]
