Währenddessen scheint Facebook bereits auf die aufflammende Kritik reagiert zu haben: Die umstrittene Funktion, mit der Facebook bisher drei ausgewählte Partnerseiten vorab und ohne vorherige Rückfrage beim Nutzer mit einigen personenbezogenen Profilinformationen versorgen will, ist für Anwender in einigen europäischen Ländern (u.a. in Deutschland) in den Privatsphären-Einstellungen nun als Standard deaktiviert – laut bisheriger Kommunikation von Facebook und nach Aussage von US-Anwendern sollte das Feature eigentlich automatisch aktiviert werden. Am besten wäre, ihr schaut selbst einmal nach.
"Wo fühle ich mich zugehörig, wenn ich überall bin? Wo fühle ich mich verantwortlich - wo bringe ich mich als politisches und gesellschaftliches Wesen ein? Wie entstehen Verbindlichkeiten in einer Welt, in der die Nachrichtenagentur Reuters "unfriend" zum Wort des Jahres 2009 kürt - und wo ich Bindungen mit einem Mausklick kappen kann?"
Sehr interessante, interaktive Map von Google, die die Regierungsanfragen aufzeigt, entweder Content zu öschen oder Nutzerinformationen weiterzureichen. Sehr aufschlussreich.

"In a letter addressed to Google CEO Eric Schmidt, the Commissioner of Canada Jennifer Stoddart and the heads of the data protection authorities in France, Germany, Israel, Italy, Ireland, Netherlands, New Zealand, Spain and the United Kingdom have expressed their concern about various privacy issues connected to some of Google's services."
"Facebook and YouTube are displacing rivals and taking over the social web, according to data we've just received from comScore.
In addition to showing massive and continued traffic growth throughout 2009 and the beginning of 2010, Facebook and YouTube continued to capture the highest volume of social web traffic. Twitter also garnered a ton of mainstream attention, helping the company increase the number of visitors to its site by fivefold over the course of the year."
On paper, 3D Dot Game Heroes appears to be a slavish, perhaps overly worshipful retro tribute. Players follow the same archetypal trajectory as in Zelda, venturing from a quaint village at the behest of a king to save the land from a dark villain. Dungeons are crawled, keys are turned, weapons are upgraded and legendary magical items are gathered.
The game kicks off with a royal decree. The king of Dotnia, a feudal land straight out of an old NES game, isn’t happy with the bland, 2-D realm he reigns over. So, with a snap of his fingers, he issues the order and presto — everything he surveys expands into the third dimension.
Players interact with the game world exactly as they’d expect to. A mash of the button extends a sword forward. Only in 3D Dot Game Heroes, the sword that players wield is massive — when fully powered up, the flash of steel can extend from one end of the level to the other.

But perhaps you need a bit of help building out a listening program that's sustainable, actionable, and actually helps you meet your business needs. Here's a set of steps to take and questions to answer to round out your listening notions into a strategy you can execute on."
