Mozilla Introduces A Firefox Extension Called ‘F1’

Mozilla's Messaging group launched F1 on Thursday. F1 is a Firefox extension focuses on the sharing of web links or other content on social networks with more comfort. These various buttons can be visually distressing for users who surf frequently. It also puzzles the users seeing a row of different "share this" buttons on an unlimited number of websites, e.g. facebook, twitter and stumbleupon.
F1 allows users to have a particular frame, which operates like an ‘all-in-one’ share button next to any content. After the user has connected his accounts, just one click at the tiny F1 icon will share the opened page to all his friends on any community be it Facebook, Twitter or Gmail.

Apple Signs Ping Music Service Partnership Deal With Twitter

Apple has reportedly signed Ping Music Service partnership with Twitter. This brand new partnership means that now it’s going to be easier for the users of Twitter to share their likes, their reviews and the music they are listening to.
This service of partnership was announced on Thursday afternoon, effective immediately allowing users to connect their Twitter account with their Ping profile. This will allow the user to be able to post song previews, Ping activity, and direct short- links of iTunes for purchase/download songs or albums, directly to Twitter. After linking profiles, users will also be requested to find their Ping friends on Twitter. This is similar to importing contacts from a different service. Once a song is posted automatically, users do not have to follow the link or leave the window at all because the song will be available for preview right in the browser itself.
