When you see a product that you know, but don’t expect being reviewed by both Jason Snell and Federico Vittci, it might give you a totality different approach on it. In this case, the product is Nuzzel.

What is Nuzzel?

Jason Snell introduces it way better that I could :

Nuzzel is a free web site and iOS app that mines your Twitter and Facebook networks and shows you the newest or most popular links.

As these tech giants find themselves increasingly dependent on Internet service providers like Comcast, AT&T, Cablevision, and Verizon, and with those companies wanting “fast-lane” exemptions to network neutrality rules (which are murky at the moment following court decisions) the easy way to keep a connection to consumers without being at the mercy of the broadband providers is to build it themselves.

iOS 8.1 brings bug fixes, speed improvements, and interface changes, but it also enables Continuity features such as Text Message Forwarding and Instant Hotspot, allowing iOS devices to better integrate with each other and Macs running OS X Yosemite. With iOS 8.1, Apple is opening access to its iCloud Photo Library beta – an iCloud service that stores all your photos from all your devices, in a single library that relays changes to every device. And last, iOS 8.1 marks the debut of Apple Pay, the company’s new payment service that rolls out in the US today.
