Have you ever sat down in a well-cushioned recliner and pondered what it would be like to be Mark Zuckerburg?  I can't say that I have, though at times I've been inclined to pretend like I'm one of the richest young people in the world.  However, to get where Zuckerburg did (for those of you [...]

If you've been lingering around Profy for a while, you might recall that I recently covered the mobile social platform Fring along with others like Xumii.  You might also recall that Fring opened its API to developers interested in designing mobile social applications.  Just a few weeks since that announcement, developers have already delivered two [...]

What prompted the tantrum from the NewsCorp leader? [...]
