AT&T is poised to launch a new Motorola handset later this month that is expressly designed to deliver mobile socializing capabilities. Called the Karma, the 3G handset with QWERTY keyboard -- which will retail for $79.99 after the mail-in rebate -- combines text messaging and instant messaging with one-click Facebook and MySpace icons on the device's home screen.

Craigslist has stopped accepting erotic ads and will remove its section for erotic services within a week. But it will add a new category of "adult services" for legal providers.

Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal announced the end of erotic ads on Wednesday. "Craigslist is heeding our clear call for conscience and common sense, sending a strong signal that Internet sites must police themselves to protect others," Blumenthal said. He is head of a multi-state task force of attorneys general.
