[edit] Noticed/News

  • The Web in Numbers: The Rise of Social Media via http://delicious.com/tracyboyer
    • 009 is the year of social media. Once, Twitter (Twitter reviews) was a place where you could read about someone else’s cat. Now, it’s the first place you go to when there’s breaking news. Sites like Digg (Digg reviews), Reddit (reddit.com reviews), and Facebook (Facebook reviews) can now leave a huge impact on the real world; lives are changed, important questions are asked (and answered) there. Many milestones have been reached; the growth of nearly every aspect of social media has and continues to be enormous. We’ve dug up some amazing statistics and numbers from this realm.
  • Deutsche Telekom Pulls Facebook Ads
    • Deutsche Telekom has pulled their Facebook advertisements after they were positioned next to Neo-Nazi groups. The first advertisements to be pulled from the site were for 3min, a German website which publishes original video content. According to one of our readers, Viktoria Steinmeyer, the advertisements for “4010-der Telekom-Shop in Mitte” (found here) were also pulled. This is not the first time that extremist or politically affiliated groups have resulted in companies pulling their advertisements from Facebook.
