Fab is taking social to the next level, but Google+ isn’t coming along for the ride. Wednesday morning, the eye-candy-meets-commerce website released Fab 3.0, a collection of more than 100 updates intended to make it easier for users to socialize and discover content on the site.

NBC may have been criticised for not streaming enough Olympics Games – but, in the U.K., the BBC plans to stream all 2,500 hours of this summer’s London 2012 events (up from 1,500 in 2008), in what it’s calling “the first proper digital Olympics.” [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yYjKQP_iSZM&w=420&h=315] “It’s the first time our audience gets total control,” BBC News & Knowledge GM Phil Fea
The “crowdsourced” question-and-answer site Quora raised more than a few eyebrows on Monday when it closed a new $50-million round of financing that values the fledgling company at $400 million, despite a conspicuous lack of scale when it comes to users.
