  Image via Wikipedia Weibo. Launched just over a year ago (August 2009), …clocked up 50 million users by October this year and was on track to hit 100 million by 2Q 2011.  Weibo — twice as popular as Twitter even in Hong Kong, suggesting that it enjoyed even greater dominance in mainland China… Cyworld social…

• TechMeme shows screen grabs of Diaspora

  I invested in Diaspora via Kickstarter. I can hardly wait to try it. Students, pay attention to the way these kids raised money, and are bringing their ideas and convictions about privacy and social networking to life. At first glance, this preview version of Diaspora looks sparse, but clean. Oddly enough, with its big pictures…

• Sustainable Business Model? Look to WoW

  WoW grew quickly at first, from one million subscribers in February 2005, to five million subscribers by December 2005, then eight million by January 2007, and 12 million by January 2009.

• BreakingTweets? No, it’s Twitter Itself

  This new feature is a nice fillip on Twitter, but it could be better. If it automatically located you, so you always got what was happening around you instead of what you said your home city was, it might be a very valuable ad-hoc guide to wherever you&apos;re opening your laptop. That would require the…

• The size of social networks | Primates on Facebook | The Economist

  Image via Wikipedia What mainly goes up, therefore, is not the core network but the number of casual contacts that people track more passively. This corroborates Dr Marsden’s ideas about core networks, since even those Facebook users with the most friends communicate only with a relatively small number of them.

• Facebook has a new look which changes the way the social networking program works in some significant ways. One person said, “Why is facebook trying to be twitter?” A word to the wise– take a look at what you are sharing and the controls you have over who you share content with, before you send…

• An App is Born

  Image by biverson via Flickr The story of how twitter came about. It was simple idea, born out of a bunch of people sitting around brainstorming. It was allowed to evolve (note the discussion about settling on the 140 character limitation) and develop while interacting with users. I don’t completely understand why Odeo didn’t become…

• More on twittering than I have time to write

  I like what Paul Bradshaw writes in general, and this compendium of the ways journalists can use twitter is one example To others it’s a social networking tool for contacts and leads, a project management tool or a research tool for developing stories.In other words it is what you make it – and the only…
