Vizify offers free infographics all about you, makes you feel like a big shot

Infographics. The stuff of high turnover websites and news channels, right? Well, yes, but now you can bring the same white space and pastel shades to your own internet footprint, courtesy of free infographic web app Vizify. It’s still in its trial period for now, which means you’ll have to wait for an entry code to tap into the breezy visualization generator, but we managed to plug in as many social networks as we could to see how it all works. The service is definitely centered around those that are very connected to the internet. Vizify will draw information from Facebook, Twitter, FourSquare, LinkedIn and also connect through work-based websites you add yourself. It will then populate a clickable front page with circles including images, quotes and links to your profile elsewhere. The service, which is geared at recruitment, crafts a convenient short link to offer up on resumes or job emails. Edit options include a choice of color palettes, and the ability to tweak the layout of the information circles [seen above] and the larger pages that follow it, bringing either more career-centric (or interesting) content to the forefront. Sign up for an access code at the source to give it a try for yourself, or take a stalker-esque trip down an Engadget editor’s social network tracks at the second link below.

Back in 2010, a man named Paul Chambers was arrested by anti-terror police for posting a bomb threat on Twitter. The tweet that convicted him? “Crap! Robin Hood Airport is closed. You’ve got a week and a bit to get your shit together, otherwise I’m blowing the airport sky high!!” – this was back in January 2010 when he joked about the airport not reopening in time for him to travel to Northern Ireland to visit a friend.
The $1 billion dollar company Instagram, which was purchased by Facebook in recent times, has said that they will be dropping the ‘Find Twitter Friends’ feature, as those who were looking for their friends through their Twitter contacts were unable to do so today. TechCrunch noted that Twitter has already removed Instagram’s access to its API, and this particular change has also gone into effect with the most recent Instagram app update. Before the app update was released, Instagram users were able to pick the “Twitter friends” option under “Find friends”, and Instagram will continue to go through the selected Twitter account so that they can look for followers on the photo service. After applying the update though, doing so will result in a pop-up message whenever they tap “Twitter friends,” which will result in “Twitter no longer allows its users to access this information in Instagram via the Twitter API. We apologize for any inconvenience.”
