This was before tech offices with ball pits and millennials who require coffee bars.

Today's Friday Tech review is short, sweet and everything social. Read up on the latest Google Photos and Facebook update.

Kudos if you’re reading this in real-time. It’s 2pm (EST) on the Friday before the Memorial Day long weekend and you’re still actively trying to learn.
