Facebook named best U.S. employer
Social networking site Facebook is just as popular among its employees as it is among its users. The Silicon Valley start-up was named the best U.S. employer Wednesday by employment website Glassdoor.com, which conducted a survey among its users.
The company was so small last year that it did not even feature on the annual list, which was topped by Southwest Airlines in the past two years.
But Facebook has been growing rapidly by poaching employees from rivals like Apple and Google.
Besides offering handsome salaries and princely benefits, Facebook also offers employees the real prospect of becoming millionaires when the company, which is valued at $43 billion, goes public.
Many employees have already joined the elite millionaires' club by selling their shares in the company to private investors.

5 tips to maintain privacy online
In this information age, biggest challenge is how to manage privacy that too when you are online. Taking certain precautions one can maintain privacy.
Mark Milian of CNN provides 5 tips to maintain privacy:
1. Adjust social-network privacy settings
Facebook has made strides in simplifying its privacy settings, but their many options can still seem like a labyrinth. Still, it's worth going in there every once in a while and familiarizing yourself with how much of your information is shared with the world.
To get there, log in to Facebook, and type "privacy settings" into the search box. Facebook recently shrunk that feature to be accessible from a smartphone.
The settings page now offers quick toggles to decide whether your profile is shared just with approved friends, with their friends, too, or publicly. Because many people draw privacy lines differently, you can also fine-tune individual switches.
Taking a leap further, you can give the "super-logoff" trick a try. It's especially popular among young people.
Twitter, another popular social network, also lets you lock your account from public view. In settings, there's a feature called "protect my tweets."
2. Ensure personal data is sent over a secure connection
When sending credit card numbers, banking information and passwords, verify that there's an image of a padlock on the address bar of the browser. This denotes a secure connection to the site. This technology encrypts the data you send and receive, so it's difficult for anyone snooping on the line to access your info.
Google Earth integrates Street View's 3D maps
By combining two services, Google has now made it possible to pick points on the globe, look at them from outer space, and then zoom all the way in for a street-level view.
Google has done this by pulling its Street View out of browsers and integrating it with Google Earth. The combination will be available with the new version 6 of Google Earth, reported the company in its blog.
Until now, Earth's global perspective allowed people to view continents and countries with satellite imagery, while Street View allows detailed views of cities, streets and residential areas. The images for View were obtained by cars that travelled around the world with special round-view cameras mounted on top.
