Last month, Betty White lent her rapping skills to a remix of techno artist Luciana’s hit song ‘I’m Still Hot.”

Now the video for the collaboration has been released, featuring both cheesecake (which White raps about baking) and beefcake to appeal to both sexes. (It’s hot, provided that you consider a bunch of buff male models fawning over an 88-year-old to be hot.)

The Google+ Project Takes Aim at Facebook [VIDEO]

After several prior failed attempts to challenge social media behemoth Facebook, Google introduced a new service on Tuesday that it hopes will finally do the trick.

Called the Google+ project, it’s currently only available to a select group of Google users — they’ll soon be able to invite others — and it will let people share and discuss status updates, photos and links, just like they do on Facebook.

But there’s one key difference: Google+ allows you to share with select groups — like co-workers, friends or the moms in your child’s playgroup — instead of with everyone. It features what it calls “circles,” which are small groups of friends based on how you know them. Google+ also offers group text messaging and video chat.

This month marked Internet Week in NYC, during which web comedian Alex Blagg of A Bajillion Hits introduced Plungr, a pretend (we hope) bathroom-based social media start-up. Plungr, says Blagg, will combine popular social networking sites to create an outlet for bathroom enthusiasts to express their passion for porcelain. That’s right, gone are the days when your friends are left out of cutting edge restroom experiences and the memories flushed away.

Plungr splashes onto the scene in Q5 of this year.
