Do you “like” Facebook? Pretty soon, you may have the chance to also mark things “read,” “listened,” “watched” and “want” on Facebook as well. According to a TechCrunch source, Facebook may be unrolling these new features at its “f8” developer conference later this week.
As the conference gets closer, everyone is …
So young, so promising. It was in its prime, and stood to reap the rewards of all of Facebook’s flaws—and in a weird twist, made Facebook copy Google+ for some of its newest “changes.”
But the fact of the matter is, public posts on Google+ have decreased 41 percent since the social networking service launched a few months ago. …
If you’ve been planning to invest in Facebook when it finally goes public, then you might have to wait a little longer than you’d planned. According to anonymous sources talking to Financial Times, Facebook’s IPO might come as many as six months later than the original April 2012 date experts were expecting.
Those sources, credited …
Sure, Americans may cumulatively spend 53 billion minutes per month on Facebook, but at least users in the U.S. understand that social media is less important than the ability to, for example, flush away human waste…unlike Facebook addicts in the United Kingdom.
A study, carried out by the London Science Museum, has discovered that …
Whoa, boy: Facebook surprised us all this afternoon when they announced on their blog that they were adding a whole bunch of improvements to your friends lists: automatically generated “smart lists,” the ability to separate people into “close friends” and “acquaintances,” and a better suggestions mechanism with the ability to control who …
Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss star in an ad for pistachios. The twins, you may recall, had been trying to sue Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg out of his casual jeans, ironic t-shirt and Adidas sandals for quite some time, claiming that he stole their idea. Someone made a movie about it!
And where there’s movies, there’s TV. And where …
So that’s exactly how much time I spend on Facebook per day at work? Kidding. Cumulatively, Americans spend more time on Facebook than on any other website. In the month of May alone, Nielsen estimates that the whole population spent a total of 53.5 billion minutes on the social network. That’s also about the equivalent of 100,000 …
Yoko Ono is more interested in the lives of strangers than you are.
In fact, you might be able to make the argument that she’s more interested in the lives of strangers than anyone else, as she’s currently following 692,318 people on Twitter (as I type these words), more than any other account on the social media service. The next …
100,000,000. That’s Twitter’s magic user number, apparently.
Twitter has finally revealed how many people actively use its microblogging service worldwide, and it’s significantly higher than the 21 million estimated by Business Insider earlier this year. According to CEO Dick Costolo, Twitter has 100 million active users currently, …
You’ve come a looong way from the dorm room, Mark Zuckerberg. Reuters recently reported that Facebook’s revenue has doubled to $1.6 billion in the first half of this fiscal year. I’m guessing Zuckerberg has forgotten about those instant noodles a long time ago.
The figure is nearly double what Facebook made in the first half of …
Five workers who were fired for complaining to each other about their jobs on Facebook will go back to work and receive back pay, following a National Labor Relations Board ruling in their favor.
According to Inc., this was NLRB’s first social media ruling that didn’t target a specific company policy, and it was also the first social …
Here’s a shocker for you: Newt Gingrich probably didn’t pad his Twitter follower list with fictitious accounts. And, to make matters weirder, the reason that people thought that he had is the same reason why even Twitter isn’t sure how many users it actually has: inactive users.
