Facebook getting a feature film about its origins got me thinking about how the Internet has been portrayed on film — particularly the dot-com business side and the fake websites that movies have to create to further their plot. Check out a few of my favorite fake URLs from the big screen!

With Twitter capping our tweets at 140 characters, many of us have had to find creative ways to make sure we can say what we want to say, without going over the character limit. Want to include a long link in your tweet? Forget about it.

I love typing in www.google.con or yelp.lom to be told that the address cannot be found. I freak out, tell Firefox it's an idiot, and then head to downforeveryoneorjustme.con, at which point I develop an ulcer until I realize that it was just my butterfingers making me enter typos into the address bar.

Now that the Facebook name grab has quieted down and millions of users have secured their favorite vanity name, Facebook is giving everyone a second chance. If your new username URL is a tad racy for your business cards, or you don't want your entire full name exposed on Facebook, just go into Account Settings and then click "change" under Username. Keep in mind that this is your one chance, one opportunity because Facebook will only let you change it once (for now, anyways), so make sure you are 100 percent certain it's the name you want.

Similar to learning how to quickly scroll to the top of the screen on my iPhone, I wish I would have known about this quick shortcut months ago.
If you're typing a URL into Safari on your phone, there's a convenient ".com" button on the keyboard — great when the suffix to the site you're trying to visit is .com.
