Facebook Announces New Homepages: It's All About the Stream - ReadWriteWeb - 0 views

  • One highlight of the new homepages is a new 'publisher' feature which looks almost exactly like a similar feature on FriendFeed. Users can now easily post updates, notes, photos, and videos right from their homepage without having to go to the specific application first.
  • Just like on FriendFeed, users can now easily block updates from others if they turn out to be spammers or are simply posting too few interesting (or too many) updates.
  • Thanks to updates to Facebook's privacy settings, users will now also be able to follow others without having to become actual 'friends.' This is basically the same 'friendship' model that Twitter has implemented on its service.

  • Facebook is slowly moving towards combining some of the best features of FriendFeed and Twitter on its homepages as it has seen how quickly users latched on to Twitter and its real-time updates.

Yahoo! Launches Major Challenge to Facebook Connect - ReadWriteWeb - 0 views

  • If you thought Facebook represented the mainstream face of newsfeeds, 3rd party identity authentication, etc. just imagine what Yahoo! could do. The only question is whether the giant company will move fast enough - Facebook is very close to having stolen its thunder already. Yahoo! has been talking about "opening up" and integrating social data across its sites for months, Facebook tends to be much, much faster at taking action and innovating.
  •  
    Facebook Connectin avulla FB-tunnuksella voi vaikkapa kommentoida blogia. Nyt Yahoo vastaa haasteeseen omalla Updates-palvelullaan. Kisa kiihtyy, kun isot pelaajat yrittävät vastata pienien tulijoiden haasteisiin, kuten avoimuuteen ja yhteensopivuuteen.

Ning Update - Creators - 0 views

  • We will phase out our free service.  Existing free networks will have the opportunity to either convert to paying for premium services, or transition off of Ning.
  • As a consequence of this change, I have also made the very tough decision to reduce the size of our team from 167 people to 98 people.  As hard as this is to do, I am confident that this is the right decision for our company, our business, and our customers.

    Todella huonoja uutisia Ning:stä! Se on tulossa maksulliseksi, jos en väärin ymmärtänyt.

Facebook "Error Check System" Application Still Runs Rampant (Updated) - 0 views

  •  
    Facebookissa leviää "Error Check System"-nimellä kulkeva sovellus, joka huijaa käyttäjiä asentamaan sen profiiliinsa. Älä asenna. Ja yleensäkin kannattaa miettiä, mitä sovelluksia FB:ssä asentaa - sovelluksen tekijä kun saa täydelliset profiili- ja verkostotietosi omaan käyttöönsä.

Social Media's Effect on Learning - Digits - WSJ - 0 views

  • Adults must be socially stimulated to learn, which is why language retention is usually only successful for adults when they are immersed with other language-speakers. Bilingual people “build new bridges” in the brain, said Dr. Kuhl, and their brains are constantly adapting and reshuffling data as they translate.
  • “Bilingual people aren’t cognitively smarter, but they are more cognitively flexible,” she added. “Practice at constant switching improves an aspect of their cognitive abilities. They become more facile at adjusting to new situations and inventing new situations.”
  • This is much like what people do when they’re updating their Twitter status, instant-messaging friends, or answering text messages and emails while they’re doing something else. Dr. Kuhl said this multitasking, where people are stimulating new patterns of sequential processing, could then reap the same benefits as bilingualism.
