While Brin won’t talk about partners it’s fairly obvious that MySpace is an issue. Google is obligated to pay at least $900 million in minimum revenue guarantees to MySpace through 2010.

Fellow writer, and assumingly great guy, Jonathan Crossfield recently got a taste of social networking groveling, something everyone who dabbles in social networking of any type has - or will have - experienced at least once.That's right: Mr. Crossfield got on his knees and begged an online community to give him some attention.And, to no one's surprise, it worked. Members gathered together and supported Mr. Crossfield by giving his blog and his incredible writing talent a little bit of attention.But was it worth it? Is a little online social attention worth groveling? Believe it or not: by groveling on social networks, you risk your image, your worth, and your future. Don't do it.Say goodbye to your image Mr. Crossfield.Mr. Crossfield got a bit of attention, his name - and incredible writing ability - is now known, but at what cost? If Mr. Crossfield had not looked to groveling for attention and had, instead, broken out of the blogging mold, he would have received more positive atte
In questo blog ho parlato spesso e volentieri dei vari metodi per guadagnare online, oggi ve ne propongo uno completamente nuovo e decisamente interessante: Shareapic.
Shareapic è a tutti gli effetti un sito di Photo Sharing, permette infatti di caricare fotografie. Oltre a questo, però, ci permette di guadagnare online con le stesse. Vediamo come.
Il funzionamento di Shareapic è molto semplice, possiamo guadagnare in 2 modi differenti:
a) Tramite Google Adsense: possiamo inserire il nostro codice Adsense nella pagina della foto o nella galleria. Qui penso non servano altre spiegazioni, ad ogni click fatto da un visitatore noi ricaviamo qualcosa
b) Il secondo metodo, invece, consiste nel condividere sui vari Social Networks la pagina della foto, ogni 1000 visite noi instachiamo 0,22 $.
Tra le caratteristiche di Shareapic, le più importanti sono:
- Possibilità di caricare infinite foto
- Dimensione illimitata di ogni singola foto
- Convidisione su Social Networks in 1 cli
I’ve been increasingly interested in health-focused social networks. Why? Because several recent scientific studies have found that real-life social networks are quite relevant to health. Indeed, a study published earlier this year in the New England Journal of Medicine evaluated a large social network of over 12,000 people over 32 years to assess the person-to-person spread of obesity [1]. The study results suggest that friends, siblings and spouses have an even greater effect on a person’s risk of obesity than genetics.
What’s interesting is that this type of research is being done now, when the use of web 2.0 services facilitating collaboration and sharing between users on the internet is thriving. We’re witnessing an explosion of social networking sites, many of which are focused on health.
Social Networks and Health
I’ve published an article titled Social Networks and Health over at the Highlight HEALTH Web Directory. It describes some of the recent

While the news is focusing on Google’s entry into the social networking world, and running ga ga on it, there is a bigger fundamental shift here that only Robert Scoble seems to have touched on, and seems to be one of the few that understands not only what is happening now, but what is going to be one of the hallmarks of web 3.0, and that is componetized social networking applications.

This is timely in light of recent posts:The problem with healthcare is that too often information does not flow easily between those who need it most: doctors and patients. In this week's episode of the New Disruptors, I speak with the CEOs of two startups—Ben Heywood of PatientsLikeMe and Daniel Palestrant of Sermo—trying to change all of that. Both are creating social networks for healthcare. PatientsLikeMe gathers together patients who suffer from the same diseases and compare notes, track their symptoms, and anonymously compare their progress with one another (read our profile here). On the flip side, Sermo is a social network for physicians to communicate directly with one another about the latest treatments and how they are working with actual patients.Be sure to read the article's Q&A between Erik Schonfeld, Ben Heywood, and Daniel Palestrant - Heywood and Palestrant, a surgeon, are addressing the issue like "Web guys," not healthcare professionals (not to say they are
Ein Grundprinzip von zeitgenössischen Web 2.0 Diensten besteht ja darin dass es einer möglichst großen Community bedarf wo jeder mitmachen soll und gratis jenen Content produzieren soll mit dem der Betreiber dann sein Geld verdient. Dass dieser freie Zugang möglichst vieler Mitglieder auch nachteilig sein kann weiß jeder Moderator aus leidvoller Erfahrung zu berichten, je später der Dienst desto nicht unbedingt besser die Gäste. Neue Social Networks treffen daher penible Selektion...Soziale ElitenIm realen Leben (Hinweis an die Blogger: jene sinnlose Überbrückungszeit in denen Ihr nicht online seid) gehen die Schönen und Reichen dieser Welt auch nicht in die Fankurve West oder ins erdige Bierstüberl, sondern ins VIP-Zelt oder in den Szeneclub mit Türsteher.

Over seven out of 10 US children ages 9 to 17 visit social networking sites weekly, according to the Alloy Media and Marketing-commissioned "Social Networking and Advertising" paper. The study was underwritten by Microsoft, News Corporation and Verizon, and fielded by Grunwald Associates in March 2007.The study also revealed over half of teens had participated in some kind of advertiser-branded activity like visiting company profile pages in the past month. Nine in 10 tweens and teens said they would like to hear about one or more types of entertainment products on social networking sites. About a fifth said they were willing to add branded content to their own sites. Over 30% of teens also wanted to hear about college information or educational products from social networking sites. Half of online tweens and teens actually hear about new Web sites from their parents, while 44% used Web searches to find new sites.

Like it or Hate it you just can't ignore social networks like Orkut because of no of users (Orkut has nearly 96 lakhs or 9.6 million Indian profiles).So back after a break I go back to the issue of marketing using social networks like Orkut and I found that MTV India is using it quite well there is a profile created by sumone from MTV who interacts with various people on Orkut has a few photos of MTV office and VJ Sophie also to lend credibility This is quite a interesting use of social networks to promote the brand as the user chats about latest programs on MTV with the guy this gives MTV a direct connect with its target segments the young generation of India.Besides this another method of promotion are the communities which lead to lot of members(MTV India however not all people who are part of community participate in activities of communities and it needs effective moderating also.Social Networks are being experimented even in USA for marketing purposes with a special emphasi
(Archived in: Social Design Social Media Optimization)Digital Nomads need a way to stay in touch and play a part in groups, even if it is only through being connected via technology.Recently I asked Peopleized creator, Halil Mandal, about Social Networks in the EU. I have always been puzzled why it is so hard to find online networks outside the Western Hemisphere. Another aspect of this is that US based networks apparently do not discriminate on your whereabouts in the world. Just take a look at all the blogs listed on Blogcatalog and MBL and a fair number are certainly from outside the US of A.Social Networking continues to be a big deal as Social Media Marketing, Social Media Optimization, and other concepts, continue to grow and be defined as part of the Web 2.0 fabric.There are countless community sites where you can register, create a profile, and start networking.

Don't forget the power of finding people through the use of online social networks. Social networks include places like MySpace or You Tube. These are free online resources that can be extremely helpful. Places like MySpace only require a free membership that takes minutes to create. After you create an account, locating your person of choice is as easy as typing their name in and sifting through the results. Finding people over these social networks will be more helpful if you are looking for someone that is somewhat young because you can't expect many older people to have MySpace accounts. Searching for people over social networks should be your first place to look because it is free and easy.
The theory of six degrees of separation is a fairly well known one. For those of you who are in the dark, this is a theory that states that [almost] everyone in the world is no more than six steps away from every other person in the world. It's a pretty nifty theory I think.The reason that I am talking about this theory is that many people know the theory in relation to Kevin Bacon (the actor). I have heard that every person in the world is within sex steps or less of Kevin. Firstly I always wondered how is that actually possible, prove it. Then I would wonder why the theory uses Kevin Bacon and not, for example, James Dean?Anyways, The Oracle of Bacon is one hell of a cool site that illustrates links from any Hollywood star, dead or alive, to Kevin. Go ahead, make my day, try and find an actor alive or dead without a link to Mr Bacon, I don't think you can do it.Then on to more pressing and interesting business:Six degrees of seperation and social networksFor a while now I have been
The above commercial for Coke Zero features an elderly man with his grandson drinking a Coke. Believing what he is drinking is the "same Coke†he has drank for years, the grandfather doesn't understand that this particular beverage is actually a new version of Coke. The grandson lets him go off on a tangent figuring his gramps simply doesn't get it.
My question is whether social networking is completely lost on older generations? While some reports argue that the MySpace demographic is aging rapidly, I think this is a complete miscalculation: just look at how many users enter their age as the maximum - 99.
Driving with my parents recently, I was talking for the millionth time about social networks when my mother looks at my father and asks "I wonder what a social network looks like?†This coming from parents who could name more social networks than most 20 year olds: they have heard about them, but never seen one in action.
