Twitter Goes Bonkers After NFL Game’s Unbelievable Ending After an officiating snafu at the end of Monday night’s Seahawks-Packers game, the Twittersphere exploded with heated commentary, once again illustrating Twitter’s power in gaging social topics and trends. Mr. Sexy Back Tries to Bring Myspace Back With the financial backing of Justin Timberlake and a group of investors, Myspace unveiled a sleek redesign as part of its second comeback (yes, this has happened before). The sneak-peek video reveals a new, image-heavy layout much of the likes of Pinterest or Tumblr, complementing the site’s focus on music and entertainment. Google Maps Goes Underwater Google Maps is great at directing you to places you’ve never been, but this week, the navigation service dove to new depths (literally),when it launched its underwater mapping technology. Now you can get a “Street View” of popular reefs and diving destinations in six oceans. Google Brings Interactive Google+ Events Notifications to Gmail Google introduced a new interactive feature for Gmail,allowing users to invite friends, read and respond to comments, RSVP to events and share event images, without ever leaving their inbox. Google Says Maps Not Waiting in Wings For iPhone 5 Yet another story about Google but this time it involves Apple's new iPhone 5. The new group iPhone 5 owners won't be rescued from iOS 6's underperforming Maps app any time soon. Google CEO Eric Schmidt says his company hasn't taken any steps to add its formerly baked-in map application to Apple's iOS App Store. Bonus: “Unavoidable” Bacon Shortage Leads to Twitter Hysteria Twitter users show off their devotion to porcine products—and their proclivity to melodrama—in the latest scandal to hit the Tweet feeds: a projected bacon shortage in 2013
