Social Networking Explodes Worldwide, Facebook User Base Up 153%

Though the growth in social-networking users in North America is beginning to level off, their numbers are burgeoning in other regions around the world - with Facebook leading the way - according to a comScore study of worldwide usage of social networking sites.

During the past year, the total North American audience of social networkers has grown 9% compared with a much larger - 25% - growth worldwide.

Facebook’s introduction of natural language interfaces in several markets has helped propel the site to 153% growth during the past year.

Meanwhile, the emphasis that Hi5.com has put on its full-scale localization strategy has helped the site double its visitor base to more than 56 million.

Other social networking sites, including Friendster.com (up 50%), Orkut (up 41%), and Bebo.com (up 32%) have demonstrated particularly strong growth.

Sex, Dating, and Facebook

Sex, Dating, and Facebook

I was amazed to read about a recent study by Retrovro quirkily called the "Gadgetry Report" which found that over a third of the under-35 set has less time for spoonin' and pillow-talk after taking care of the lovely business of sex because they are Tweeting and using Facebook after sex. WTF? Is this really true?

One afternoon of bad sex could easily translate into an "It's complicated" relationship status.

I've heard of more than one break-up occur on the all-too-public pages of Facebook. When the relationship switches quickly between "In a relationship" to "Single", more than trouble is in the air

And, if you are in a complicated situation, do you really want all of your 547 friends to know you are in a complicated situation? They already know you were drunk the week before; how much should you let them know about who you are hooking up with and what exactly you think about it?

House GOP Brings Transparency To HealthCare Bill Online

clipper's remarks: The GOP will continue its online push against the bill on Thursday, when Rep. Mike Pence (R-Ind.) will lead a 12-hour online town hall to discuss health care.

Meanwhile, the Republican caucus is using the social networking site Amplify to highlight portions of the bill with which they take issue. On their page healthcaretruth.amplify.com, Republican users share the actual text of the bill up for discussion and leave a comment. Other users can leave their own comments or share the content using Twitter, Facebook, Digg and other social networking tools.

Reps. Boehner, Bob Latta (R-Ohio) and Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.) spearheaded the project, and Boehner introduced it to other House Republicans this morning at their weekly members-only meeting.

"As House Republican members continue to move through this massive bill, we wanted a tool that would make it easy to show Americans what it means in plain English -- the general public doesn't have the time or the inclination to read a 2,000-page bill," Nick Schaper, the director of new media for Boehner's office, told the Hotsheet. "We'd really like to start a section-by-section discussion on the bill."

The trouble with having to sleep -- a visual blog post

Good Night and Tough Luck

Getting a good night’s sleep is actually a lot more complicated than one would think.

Usually the trouble starts with my having to use the bathroom. Even though I am 38 years old, I still find myself hoping the urge will just pass. Which it doesn’t.

Next up: a visitor from the kids’ room. They start all sweet and cuddly, but their little bodies become more brazen by the minute.

To make things worse, our kids always insist on sleeping ON TOP of our blanket, creating a whole new set of problems.

The one thing I haven’t really figured out is where the person in the back is supposed to put that bottom arm.

To summarize what we’ve learned so far:

King of pop Michael Jackson Movie Will Run For Two Weeks Only

clipper's remarks: Is Michael Jackson's This Is It only in theaters for two weeks to get fans into a frenzy or to have the DVD out on time for the holiday season?
—James L., via Facebook

You mean you didn't dissolve into a worshipful faint as soon as you typed the words "This Is It" into Facebook? Bad consumer! Bad! Get frenzying forthwith before the Jackson family finds you unworthy.]

It did for Miley Cyrus, whose Hannah Montana concert film was initially slated for a two-week run, Bock says. Not surprisingly, that engagement was extended when the film started bringing in cash.

The two-week ploy does not always work, however. Take the Jonas Brothers' concert movie; it was also a two-week deal, and it is considered a box-office flop.

So far, the Jackson film seems to be following in the Miley mold, Bock says; This Is It brought in an estimated $20 million worldwide on its first day—a decent showing, if not miraculous. ("For the hype it was getting, we thought we were looking at the second coming of Transformers," Bock says. "But no.")

People give birth and die on Facebook (internet actually)

Tue, 27 Oct 2009 14:56:19 GMT

clipped by: arifsali
clipper's remarks: The thing about Facebook and Twitter is that unlike earlier times on the Internet, these two companies have shaped the perception of people connected to each other more closely than ever before. Everyone is on-line on FB or Twitter or both!. Not that people were not connected earlier via email or email groups (and some exclusively still are), but FB and Twitter are humongous instant messenger type services where everyone perceives as something where you know others are on (email does not give a perception that you are on and individual instant-messenger were always individual).

So as Facebook comes up with ideas on what to do with people who are dying on the internet, I think they should also come up with some special arrangements when people are born. I'm not talking about some FB application (I hate them and they are annoying). There is no denying that babies are being born on Facebook every day (it sounds weird but that is a truth).

Facebook has announced that it will be giving friends and family the option to "memorialise" the profiles of members who have died.

It follows some cases of members receiving updates about dead friends.

If a user is reported as deceased, Facebook will remove sensitive information such as status updates and contacts.

Latest Facebook redesign, I hate you most of all

The only thing constant about change is that it sucks.

For proof, look no farther than the 300 million-plus Facebook users who spent last weekend coming to terms to the social network’s latest, but certainly not last, redesign.

The Twitter-like filter-free home page everyone hated a few months back was gone, and the default feed everyone missed so much was back — sort of — though some “friends” are suspiciously absent. Now equipped with a crazy random happenstance of an algorithm, the News Feed seems to update whenever it wants, with whatever info it feels like.

There’s a “Live Feed” option, too, that seems to run in a different time zone. And now, Facebook is more all up in your business than ever before, suggesting users reconnect with estranged acquaintances and write on the walls of people they don’t even know.

clipper's remarks: Checks carried out after his arrest, however, revealed he had moved from his registered home without notifying the authorities.

Ashleigh, who was studying childcare at Darlington College, left her house at 7pm on Sunday, telling her mother she was going to stay at a friend's house and would be back the following afternoon.

Girl, 17, found murdered in field lured to her death by Facebook predator

A predator on the Sex Offenders' Register killed a 17-year-old girl he met and groomed on Facebook after luring her to a secret meeting.

The 32-year-old posed as a 16-year-old boy to befriend Ashleigh Hall on the social networking site.

But within hours of their first meeting, the teenager was dead.

Victim: Ashleigh Hall's body was found dumped in a ditch

The man is said to have bound and gagged her, and thrown her into the back of his car. Hours later he dumped her body in a ditch by a country lane.

Last night he was being quizzed on suspicion of murder.

At the police station he dramatically confessed: 'I've killed a girl', before leading them to the body.

The killing raises serious questions over how effectively the known sex offender was being monitored.

As a registered sex attacker he was required to inform police of any change of address.

Facebook 'memorialises' profiles

Facebook 'memorialises' profiles

Facebook has announced that it will be giving friends and family the option to "memorialise" the profiles of members who have died.

It follows some cases of members receiving updates about dead friends.

If a user is reported as deceased, Facebook will remove sensitive information such as status updates and contacts.

When reporting a death, users must offer "proof" by submitting either an obituary or news article.

"When someone leaves us, they don't leave our memories or our social network," Max Kelly, head of security at the firm, wrote in the official Facebook blog. "

To reflect that reality, we created the idea of "memorialised" profiles as a place where people can save and share their memories of those who've passed."

Memorialised accounts will have new privacy settings so that only confirmed friends can see the profile or locate it in search.
