You can level all kinds of legitimate complaints at Facebook, but not iterating is certainly not one of them. The Facebook web interface is currently undergoing some big changes, with those changes being rolled out to users on a staggered basis.

When Siri launched way back when, we all got super excited about the possibilities of talking to our phones and having them go off and find the information we need. Then we got our hands on it and realized that perhaps it wasn't all we had hoped.
Instagram just keeps on growing, especially since the buyout by Facebook. It seems everyone us using Instagram to post pictures of their kids, their cats and most importantly, their meals.

It may have been conspicuous by its absence at yesterday's keynote, but Google Glass is still the hottest property in personal technology right now. You only have to flick through any social media site and you'll come across someone either wearing Glass, or at the very least, talking about it.
