"We learn the amazing story of Vivian Maier, a Chicago nanny who took more than 100,000 photos during her lifetime but never showed them to anyone. Now that she's gone and her photos have been discovered, some say she may rank among the top street photographers of the 20th century."

Thief Posts His Photo To Facebook Victim's Account
An anonymous reader writes "Washington Post reporter Marc Fisher discovered his house had been burgled; money, a winter coat, an iPod and his son's laptop were stolen. Imagine his surprise when Facebook friends of his 15-year-old son reported that a photo of the apparent thief, wearing Fisher's coat and holding a wad of notes, had been uploaded to his son's Facebook account. How addicted do you have to be to a social network to post a status update and upload your photo *while* you're burgling someone's house?"
About.me Makes Creating a Personal Landing Page Dead Simple
About.me Makes Creating a Personal Landing Page Dead Simple
If you're looking at making a personal landing page for yourself, the seriously popular About.me personal portal opened up to the public this week, making creating a personal web site easier than ever.
You guys are already huge fans of sites like previously mentioned Flavors.me, and About.me is a similar alternative. It doesn't have quite as many options as Flavors.me, but it sure is pretty, and dead simple to use. You just pop in a bio, links to your Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and other sites, and get going. It also provides a ton of analytics so you can see the kind of traffic your portal is getting, which is handy when you're trying to measure the effectiveness of making it available.
The service has been in closed beta for awhile, so you may have heard about it before—but as of today, it's open to the public, so if you're still waiting to create that landing page of yours, now is the perfect time to get started. Hit the link to check it out. If you'd prefer to host your own personal start page—which is ultimately our preference—you may also want to check out our home-grown personal landing page.
