[edit] Noticed/News
- With Oprah Onboard, Twitter Grows via http://delicious.com/krherzog
- On Friday morning, Twitter received the blessing of Oprah Winfrey, one of Middle America’s most influential tastemakers, when Ms. Winfrey tapped out her inaugural message using the microblogging service as the cameras of her talk show cameras rolled.
- 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.
- Update on Voter Turnout Numbers for Ratification of New Facebook Terms
- Four days into the seven day voting period on Facebook’s new governing documents, 290,000 Facebook users have turned out to vote. Currently, votes for the proposed (revised) governing documents lead votes for the current terms of service 73% - 27%, a ratio that has held since just after voting began. At the current rate, about 500,000 people will vote by the time the voting period ends on Thursday. A turnout in that ballpark would reach about 1% of the 60 million vote threshold Facebook set at the outset of the vote needed for the outcome to be binding. Nevertheless, Facebook is very likely to adopt the new governing documents anyway.
- 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.
