Google has signed on to provide free Wi-Fi in 47 United States airports over the holidays, including Las Vegas, San Jose, Boston, Baltimore, Burbank, Houston, Indianapolis, Seattle, Miami, Ft. Lauderdale, Orlando, St. Louis, and Charlotte. The Wi-Fi will be free up through January 15th.

Bloomberg reports that Motorola "probably" sold 100,000 Droid smartphones in the weekend following the handset's launch—a fairly impressive number, although its adoption is still a long way from standing up to that of the iPhone.

You can now send your LinkedIn status updates directly to your Twitter account when you update, and tweets can from your Twitter account to LinkedIn as well.

Any reviews on the site yet about the phone? I-phones are great mini computers but as a phone not the best. I'm just wondering if they work better than the i-phone.

100K is certainly an impressive number.
