Words With Friends HD gets Facebook Connect tie-in
Published on Macgasm | shared via feedly mobile


Words With Friends HD has added Facebook Connect to their arsenal today. Instead of having to add people by email or Game Center accounts, you can send out invites to people who you’re friends with on Facebook. All you have to do is connect the game to your Facebook account and you’re off to the races.

It’s a great move, and it’s an even bigger commentary on the proliferation of Facebook. In order for a social network tie-in to actually work, people have to be using it. Early social media was about finding strangers online with similar interests, but today’s social network is about finding people you already know. Game Center clearly hasn’t caught on with the masses. I would prefer to not rely on Facebook for putting together Words With Friends matches, but when it comes to tracking down Mom for a match, Facebook is still king.

Epsilon breach. Email addresses compromised.

R

I've received emails from both Best Buy and Chase bank alerting me to the fact that email addresses were stolen from Epsilon, a company they both use to send out email to customers. Apparently, only email addresses were compromised. Keep an eye out for fraudulent messages from your bank, etc. and remember to never give out personal information in response to an email. Chase, BestBuy, etc. will never request personal info via email.

Vimeo for iPhone and iPad 2

I just downloaded Vimeo for iPhone today, so I haven't had much of a chance to test it out. What I see so far, though is an extremely slick app. iMovie is cool, and will upload to YouTube, but the Vimeo app is free.

I'll throw together a quick video sometime today to test it out. Anyone else take the app for a spin? What are your thoughts?
