Verizon's 4G LTE Network Is Getting Even More Huuuger Oct. 20th and Nov. 17thThe next rounds of buildout for Verizon's LTE network are on their way, and this time 35 new cities are picking up their extra G across two activation dates. Here's the official rundown:

On Thursday, Oct. 20, Verizon Wireless' 4G LTE network will be available in Birmingham, Ala.; Modesto and Stockton, Calif.; Fort Myers, Fla.; Bloomington, Elkhart, Evansville, South Bend and Terre Haute, Ind.; Sioux City, Iowa; Hagerstown, Md.; Tupelo, Miss.; Albuquerque and Santa Fe, N.M.; Buffalo, N.Y.; Asheville, N.C.; Bartlesville, Okla.; Jackson and Martin, Tenn.; Greater Hampton Roads and Richmond, Va.; and Green Bay, Wis. Verizon Wireless is also expanding its 4G LTE network in Los Angeles and San Diego, Calif.; Washington, D.C.; and Erie, Pa. the same day.

On Thursday, Nov. 17, the company will turn on its 4G LTE network in Little Rock, Ark.; Savannah, Ga.; Cedar Rapids and Des Moines, Iowa; Lexington, Ky.; Kansas City and Springfield, Mo.; Lincoln, Neb.; Orange County, N.Y.; Greater Providence; Rapid City, S.D.; Roanoke, Va.; and Appleton, Wis. The company is also making major 4G LTE expansions on Nov. 17 in Louisville, Ky.; Grand Rapids, Mich.; Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minn.; Pittsburgh, Pa.; and Nashville, Tenn.

The last round of upgrades already upped Verizon's LTE coverage area to over half the country, and this new wave hits a few cities that had been feeling especially neglected, like Kansas City and Buffalo. And of course, 4 LTE Gees landing on the Birmingham, Alabama doorstep of Giz editor Brian Barrett is a welcome sight, too. FaceTime after lunch, Brian! [Verizon]

This Sounds Like My Ideal Social Network [Video]

A Social Network Based On Your Gastrointestinal Bacteria [Science]

A Social Network Based On Your Gastrointestinal Bacteria MyMicrobes is a new social network that'll pair you up with people who share the same gut bacteria as you. Seriously. On the surface, its a crazy idea, but when you think about it, MyMicrobes could makes sense medically.

MyMicrobes hopes to bring together folks with the same intestinal flora so they can share digestive health questions and concerns. It would be a safe haven as there are only a handful of forums that deal with this topic.

Though intriguing, the process to join the network isn't for the faint of heart. To identify your gut bacteria, you 'll have to send in a stool sample and pay $2100 to have the bacterial DNA inside the sample sequenced for identfication. Once your in, you can start boasting about your latest bout of constipation and your favorite reading material for the commode. [Nature]

Sprint Tells Employees to Keep Pie Holes Shut about iPhone on their Network [Blip]

Sprint Tells Employees to Keep Pie Holes Shut about iPhone on their NetworkWhen's the last time anyone got tangible information from a carrier's customer service representatives about a new phone? It's like worrying about Army recruits sharing the launch codes.

Nevertheless, Sprint is already putting the kibosh on employees talking about the iPhone hitting their network this fall via an internal memo. Employees have been instructed to reply "no comment" to questions put forth by customers. If a customer won't drop the subject, they can acknowledge that news outlets are reporting the rumor but to return to the old standby of politicians, "no comment." [LA Times]
