Twitter won't redirect tweets to your new handle if someone tweets to your old handle. Your old handle will be left for grabs so anyone will be able to use it.
I suggest you take possession of your old handle (simply sign up as a new user with a different email address) and note in the description what your new handle is (and why).
That way, even if ...

The (aptly named) Lonely Planet Thorn Tree forums, which have been around forever, might be worth a look. I know a number of people use it to co-ordinate shared journeys.

Long time ago I started to use couple of random letters (Fczbkk) as my nickname. So far it was everywhere I tried to register. Even my domain (http://fczbkk.com) was free. Choosing "Fczbkk" was one of the best decisions I have ever made.
So if you just need an unique identifier for your on-line identity, I'd recommend using any random generator. Or you can ...

a feature rolled
rolling out to everyone last week
Just sit tight, I do not have it as well .With 500 M users (worst case scenario) wanting to download data I think it is safe to say that they do not want to totally destroy their servers in one go.

The first ones that comes to mind are three sites with different purposes.
Xydo is a new social site that is similar to digg, but way better. It aggregates all types of news sites/blogs and allows you to vote-up news stories and lets you 'subscribe' to your interests. Subscribe meaning that those news articles will show up in your news feed on the homepage. ...

A crude solution would be to manually get the link feeds from each service and subscribe with a regular feed reader.
For Twitter, you can extract a link feed with SiftLinks.
Facebook actually has a friends' links feed, but it's a bit hard to find. Kristi Barrow shows you how to get it.

You would need to cache the person's data and compare the previous sets.
And even if you were able to do this, here are some questions that will come up
What would happen to those who use tools to automatically follow then un-follow based on certain criteria.
Which date should be chosen ?
What about those who start off on someone's list then move to ...

Way back in the dark ages, before FireFox, I started using SlimBrowser. I especially like this browser because it defeats popups by default. Slimbrowser was the first tabbed browser. The popup blocker in the browser automatically kills annoying popup and pop-under ads. It uses internet explorer as it's engine, but because of the intelligence built into the ...

Widget Block seems very difficult to amend the list of domains you want to block.
Why not just install AdBlock and follow the steps in this tutorial.

What people can do is share the page link, and from that page facebook lets you select a photograph to represent it. Or you can write a routine for the users that needs to connect to facebook and it is prepared to share a photo on their wall each time you select that photo for facebook.

To post to this group prefix #fbwork before your status to make it post ...

Well, let's think about what the goals are here.
Since you're tying this primarily to the group, friends or friends-of-friends social graph, the first thing that comes to mind is Facebook.
You also have a real-ish time requirement, so I don't think anything like the Social Graph API would work.
I would recommend Twitter as well, but you'd need a pretty ...
