Twitter has a job opening for a unicorn slayer.

Did you see Twitter’s awesome recruiting video? I have to say, it got my attention because it’s cheesy awesome. http://youtu.be/vccZkELgEsU While listing open jobs, I noticed that they are even hiring a unicorn slayer.

How to update your Facebook status so only some of your friends see it.

However, I don’t always want to share everything with everyone. That’s why there are Facebook lists. Lists are a way of organizing your friends into groups; or circles if anyone uses Google+.

How to customize your MIUI ringtone.

I’m really liking MIUI on my Android, but I had a hard time setting my default ringtone. Seems that you need to set it in your theme’s settings, not your systems settings. Go to your themes app, edit theme, select ringtone and save. Seems a bit backwards to me, but it works!
