WELCOME TO THE Weird Wide Web – where we take a look at some of the internet’s best offerings in social media, tech, science and weird news.
Photo Sync
Facebook probably has a lot of your photos already – but it wants more, which is why it is introducing Photo Sync. The new service will automatically upload every single photograph you take with your phone to a private album, and then allow you to choose whether or not you want to make images public.
Convenient or invasive?
By the way, that’s not an evaluation. It’s the new IE slogan.

SoPost
Would you like to use your Facebook and Twitter accounts as your postal address? Well now you can: SoPost turns your social IDs into a postal address so family, friends or companies can send things straight to your account without any details of your home address being shared.
Founder Jonathan Grubin says the service could cut down on the stress of re-routing deliveries after a change of address, as the social ID will remain the same even if your location doesn’t – and also protect privacy by allowing consumers to keep addresses private, reports TechCrunch.
Do you want to add custom overlays to you photos?
Of course you do. Stupid pictures of yourself never get old… and Overlayer.com knows that.
This could be you…
I’m just like you

A better use for Facebook has never been envisioned.
Check out the photos…
