The power of Facebook
February 10th, 2009
How fast can you add Facebook friends? Faster than Facebook will allow – It’s refreshing to see fellow Tribune reporters and columnists discuss social media. I love hearing their perspectives, especially this: Columnist Eric Zorn wanted to test how long it would take for him to acquire 1,000 Facebook friends.
Tweetups Can’t Touch Facebook Flashmobs – Well, I disagree, but this is an awesome example of how social networking can go viral. Kudos Liverpool!
COOL TOOL: Wee! New numbers on social network usage – Good information from Jan. ‘09, but it’s only social networks, not news. (PS Facebook is finally more popular than MySpace.) But what’s REALLY interesting? If you go to compete.com you can totally compare traffic and unique visitors. Very helpful. The only setback is that you have to pretty much log in or pay for anything of worth. Lame.
Google’s Social Web Blog – Finally Google enters the social community with its new blog. I’m excited to see what the giant has to say about social media.
Oregon Trail game heads toward the iPhone – This is just awesome. Hope I can get it on my iPod Touch too!
