"Second, and more importantly, Google Plus generates much more brand engagement than you think. Recently we studied more than 3 million user interactions with more than 2,500 brand posts on seven social networks. The result? Brands' Google Plus posts generated nearly as much engagement per follower as their Facebook posts - and almost twice as much engagement per follower as their Twitter posts. "

"One of those social media networks that multiplies mistakes as well as amplifying your connections and content is LinkedIn. With the recent opening up of its "publishing platform" to all of its members, the rising importance of Linkedin is now even more evident. With Linkedin's membership now passing 300 million professionals, not looking like a "dork" is important in front of that size crowd."

In short, the company is slowly but surely building out an advertising platform, not much different than what other social networks like Facebook or Twitter have. The company's policy says it will be collecting log data, cookie data, and device information. If Pinterest users don't like the idea of being tracked, they can manage their account settings, though it's not clear to what extent this will be effective.

When asked "What is the one website, social network, or app that you could not live without?" Facebook was the clear winner at 24 percent for students of all ages. Google came in at a distant second with 7 percent, and Twitter was in third place with 3 percent. But perhaps the most interesting finding was that high schoolers were twice as likely as college students, and 6x more likely than graduate students, to say they couldn't live without Twitter.

"In an interview about the satellite hack with French news program 13 Heures, TV5Monde reporter David Delos unwittingly revealed at least one password for the station's social media presence. That's because he was filmed in front of a staffer's desk-which was smothered in sticky notes and taped index cards that were covered in account usernames and passwords."

"The centenarian who just celebrated her 114th birthday felt her age when she tried to create a Facebook account recently, only to discover that the social networking site's options for date-of-birth only go back as far as 1905. Stoehr was born in 1900."

"Ambi is reinventing how learning takes place in higher education by putting students at the center of the experience: a Learner Engagement Platform designed for the student first, creating a more engaged, involved, and immersive learning experience for everyone. Ambi is the product of three years of research and more than eighteen months of development to build a Learner Engagement Platform where learning takes place without limits. The interface is as familiar as the social networks students use on a day-to-day basis, but with a tight integration to the course materials and features from Learning Management Systems like Canvas from Instructure, and Blackboard."

"You are thinking from a professional perspective in that you will be connecting with other businesses, perhaps even the competition, as much as you will be with customers. It's likely that you will be engaging with people outside of your usual social circles and that's the key thing to remember. The fact that Google+ is still gathering a following is a testament to the potential influence it could have in the future."

"Ambi makes it easy to stay on top of your classes, social groups, and campus life."

"Shirky's point is that for a functioning online community, all you really need is some kind of system for attaching reputation points to a user's "handle" or pseudonym. Klout is trying to do that with a number that rises and falls based on your activity on networks like Twitter, Facebook, Flickr and Tumblr. "

"What rights have users granted to online services such as Facebook, Twitter and Google? Does posting content on these networks mean forfeiting your ownership of your photos, for example? A photo posted on Twitter remains the intellectual property of the user but Twitter's terms give the company "a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license (with the right to sublicense)". In practice, that gives Twitter almost total control over the image and the ability to do just about anything with it. The company claims the right to use, modify or transmit it your photo any way."

"Tell your story any way you'd like. Known is a simple platform for publishing words, pictures, podcasts and more to a site that you control. Choose to share it on networks like Twitter and Facebook, or the software you already use."

"But there's no getting around it: For those in the social-media know, conferences have taken something of a Ringling Brothers feel, with multiple layers of discussion competing for attendees' attention. More live tweeting means more noise, and-in the eyes of many conferencegoers and conference-followers-more nuisance."

"In February 2011 I started participating in something called the Daily Shoot, in which amateur photographers were encouraged to complete a photography assignment sent out via Twitter each morning. Photos uploaded to Flickr and tagged appropriately were aggregated on the Daily Shoot website, where I had a lot of fun seeing how others interpreted each day's assignment. I'm a much more creative photographer because of my participation in the Daily Shoot."
