Facebook released a confidential document to developers leading to their upcoming f8 conference.
The document, in short, identifies a change of language within Facebook. Changing “Become A Fan” of a particular brand or business to “Like”.
The big plan is to roll out “Like” all over the internet, allowing users to leave breadcrumbs of their history on [...]

Each of us is designed for a very unique purpose; made up of specific skill sets, interests, and strengths to fulfill our design.

In general, this patent would allow Apple to play in the location-based social networking space with their own application. Or they might expose the social networking methods in the form of a public API for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad mobile devices, to allow third party developers to build their own social applications. Here are some possible uses, though it should be noted that these all assume that participants have iPhones or any other devices that Apple would give access to iGroups.
- Crowdsourcing ideas or moods. Want to know what fans at a sporting event are thinking? Alert them to prize offers for joining an ad hoc network and particpating in an on-the-spot poll.
- Event networking and socializing. E.g., at conferences and tradeshows. Organizers and exhibitors could potentially alert opt-in group members, create a persistent social network, then forward information or prizes after the event, or alert people to parties and followup events.
- Enhanced nightclubbing and partying. Build out the in-person social networking features of existing mobile apps such as Foursquare, MyTown, Gowalla, and Loopt. Could be used to enhance the dating scene at bars, nightclubs, eateries or wherever singles go to socialize. E.g., initiate a pub crawl or similar event.

People often get a testing platform ready to roll and then start obsessing over just how intricate [...]
Thank God, “Twitteritis” is dying off.
Twitter is good for a few of things:
Real-time customer service
Real-time product support (different from above)
Celebrities (real-time, celeb-endorsed paparazzi, essentially)
RSS feeds
Geeks
Spam
For everyone else, it gets in the way and causes anxiety for those who can’t figure it out – and their social media consultants.
Twitter will soon go of the way of [...]
Adapted from Petitinvention’s cleanest graffiti concept.
Imagine the power of posting ads, messages, art, etc on a real wall – virtually.
Draw a picture with your iPhone.
Choose the wall you want to paste the picture on.
Point and paste the picture. Resizing possible.
Share it with people on an online map.
Or share with only the person you choose. And [...]
