As the year 2010 approaches its last few days, it's time to look back on the previous 12 months. In the first third of 2010, Millions of gallons of oil spewed into the Gulf of Mexico, several massive earthquakes wreaked havoc worldwide, Vancouver hosted a successful Winter Olympics, and so much more. Each photo tells its own tale, weaving together into the larger story of 2010. This is a multi-entry story, 120 photographs over three days. Please watch for part 2 and part 3 tomorrow and the next day.

Over the years, I've recorded a lot of music that to this day remains unreleased. Whether it be unfinished or just something that I didn't want to put out to the masses, I've recently come to the realization that A) I'm never going to get around to finishing it and B) It's doing nothing by remaining in the vault (which is, in this case, my iPod and 1TB hard drive).

Here at Mashable, we subscribe to The Oatmeal, a web comic created by Matthew Inman.

This info-graphic by online schools teach us through the history of social networking, statistics on where we are today, and provides a quick look of where we may head.

Like many people we've been glued to the news unfolding in Egypt and thinking of what we could do to help people on the ground. Over the weekend we came up with the idea of a speak-to-tweet service-the ability for anyone to tweet using just a voice connection.
