Articles on Social NetworkingGoogle has announced that they have partnered with Twitter to allow your Twitter messages - known as "tweets" - to be searchable in real-time on Google. This means that as soon as you say something publicly on Twitter, it will instantly be available to millions and millions of people who don't know you - or who do - in their Google search results. Recently we wrote about the fact that Twitter has just updated their Terms of Service, effective immediately (you can read our article about Twitter's new Terms of Service here). One interesting new development is the aspect of the new Twitter ToS ... As we recently wrote, Twitter has just posted a new Terms of Service. And, intentionally or otherwise, Twitter has banned anyone under 18 years old from using Twitter. Twitter has updated and posted new Terms of Service (ToS), which are effective immediately. The new Terms of Service more directly address the issues of spam, and make clear that what happens on Twitter can be used by Twitter, but still belongs to the user. While the Internet is all abuzz about how Facebook and Friendfeed have just announced that Facebook is acquiring FriendFeed, the bigger coup may be in that in the doing, Facebook has effectively acquired FriendFeed founders Bret Taylor and Paul Buchheit, and Jim Norris and Sanjeev Singh. If you use Gmail, and also use Facebook, it can be very easy for someone to password crack and access your Gmail account using Gmail's recover password retrieval feature. This is because Gmail's access password recovery feature allows anybody to guess the answer to your "forgot password" reset security question. And if the answer to your forgotten password reset security question happens to be information easily gleaned from your Facebook account (or some other social network information), then password hacking your Gmail account is as easy as typing in that password protection answer. (And we use the term "password protection" loosely.) As online society becomes ever more social, and cares ever less about personal security, the phrase "social security" seems more than ever an oxymoron. Perhaps nowhere is this more clearly brought home than in this week's announcement by researchers at Carnegie Mellon that they have cracked the social security code, and were able to predict with frightening accuracy many social sercurity numbers (SSN). In many cases, their hack was aided by information gleaned from such social networking sites as Facebook. Well, look what the spam cat just dragged in - address book importing spam from Bebo.com. Why is it that these various social networking and other sites seem to simply consider the incidental spam attendant to address book importing (if they think about it at all) to be the cost of doing business - and, mind you, a cost sent COD to the people receiving the spam - when in fact it's really an occupational hazard? Many, many people find themselves a bit lost when they first start using Twitter. They don't really get how to use Twitter. They don't really understand what Twitter is. Here is a clear, plain English, real-world explanation that answers the questions "What is Twitter?" and "How to use Twitter?" and that explains the various messaging functions of Twitter such as @, DM, D, Retweet, RT, and #, and including Anne's famous "Party Analogy" for Twitter. It has come to light that none other than the Obama administration itself asked Twitter to please delay planned routine maintenance this week, so that the juggernaut of Twittering and Twitter coverage of the Iran elections and ensuing demonstrations and riots could continue without interruption. Isreal Hyman and his wife were no doubt looking forward to their vacation a few weeks ago. Hyman, the proprietor of IzzyVideo.com in Mesa, Arizona, shared his plans with his 2,000+ followers on Twitter. So when he became the victim of a home burglery (which differs from robbery in that the victim is not present), he had to wonder if the burgler had seen his Tweets. Twitter co-founder Biz Stone has confirmed that Twitter will begin the beta roll-out of a new Twitter service - the Twitter verified account service - designed to confirm and verify that the Twitter accounts of celebrities, public personalities, and other famous people are actually the accounts of the people they say they are, and not imposters and pretenders. With just two days until the 20-year anniversary of the horrific massacre at Tiananmen Square, the Chinese government has censored and blocked Twitter, Flickr, YouTube, Live.com and Hotmail.com, and even the new Microsoft Bing.com It would seem that Phil Spector is Twittering from prison. While it seems unlikely, even unbelievable - and speculation about whether it's really Phil Spector Twittering from jail, or an imposter, abounds - in reading the actual Twitter messages, if it's not Phil Spector (whose full name is actually Harvey Phillip Spector, or "Harvey P. Spector"), then it's a darned good facsimile Tweeting in Phil Spector's name. Sources have revealed that there is a Twitter reality television show in the works, which would feature real time Twitter messages ("tweets") from the show's contestants, who will be pitted against one another in an effort to track down celebrities. Proving that it really wants to be the hip Internet administration, the WhiteHouse now has a Twitter account, a Facebook page, and a MySpace Page. Check out the Whitehouse Twitter account, Whitehouse Facebook account, and Whitehouse MySpace account here. That darling grapevine of the 21st century, Twitter, is being socially indicted and implicated in the increasing panic over the currently-anticipated swine flu epidemic. According to Evgeny Morozov, a fellow at the Open Society Institute, in an article published on the website of the Foreign Policy magazine, "having millions of people wrap up all their fears into 140 characters and blurt them out in the public might have some dangerous consequences." I recently posted on Twitter that I had the secret to knowing if somebody is following you or not on Twitter. I had so many people ask me about it that I'm going to reveal the secret now. This article is going to be controversial. Whether or not you should follow everyone who follows you on Twitter is a topic which engenders strong emotions and heated debate. In fact, just last week I was accused of "game playing" because I have 1600+ people who follow me on Twitter, while I 'follow' fewer than 50. For those who are constantly checking both Twitter, and Gmail, now you can have your cake and eat it too! Twitter Gadget is a Gmail gadget that allows you to both read and post to Twitter right from your Gmail interface! According to Linked-In, "frolleagues" - people who are business colleagues that beg a friend-style social networking connection from you, are increasingly becoming a threat to one's professional standing. The rise in social media sites such as Facebook and Myspace has been a boon for prosecutors, who are finding incriminating pictures on such sites - pictures which have been admitted as evidence in court, and used to increase penalties, sentences, and prison time! The social networking generation gap technology has created is smaller than you may think. Online social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook used by adults? You bet! Facebook and Twitter are increasingly being used by Internet business people and entrepreneurs to reach both customers and peers. Taking a moment to update your Facebook status, or send the occasional message ("tweet") on Twitter can pay big dividends! It's the digital age and social networking online is a big part of online business! No longer are adults asking "What is Facebook?" - instead it's the teens complaining that "Facebook is recently becoming very overpopulated with grownups!" The social networking site FaceParty has deleted and banned all users over the age of 36, saying that a new law requires them to ban all sex offenders, and that people over the age of 36 are most likely to be sex offenders. Yeesh! Lori Drew, the Missouri mother who posed on MySpace as 'Josh', a 16-year-old boy, drawing 13-year-old Megan Meier into a fraudulent and faux relationship that ended tragically with Megan Meier taking her own life, has been named in a federal indictment and summoned to appear in US District Court in Los Angeles in June. Google has released a Preview Version of Friends Connect, a new service that lets website owners easily add social networking features. For website owners the benefits of Google Friends Connect are clear; adding social networking features to an already popular site encourages visitors to stay longer, engaging with other users and with new and updated content, as well as providing content of their own in the form of comments, reviews and message board entries. |
