Sept. 6, 2010— -- Craigslist continues to be dogged by controversy, even after the website removed adult services ads. An investigation by ABC News revealed ads for adult services could still be found. Some postings in other sections alluded to exchanges of cash for sexual services. Craigslist has been under pressure from state authorities to shut down ads that potentially promote prostitution. A group of state attorneys general praised the website for removing its adult services ads.

Apple Ping has a million users, and it's only been around since Wednesday. Ping lets users share pictures and video of their favorite musicians. However, many users are unhappy the site doesn't interact with iTunes collections, so users can't tell each other what they're listening to.

Facebook is testing out a new feature called subscribe . It lets you follow friends the way you would with Twitter, and get notices whenever they update or post something. It's unclear when the feature will be available to the public. The feature is prompting concern that some members could use it for stalking.
