Pew Report download http://pewinternet.org/~/media//Files/Reports/2011/PIP_Teens_Kindness_Cruelty_SNS_Report_Nov_2011_FINAL_110711.pdf Comment : This is a US report but based on work I have seen from the EU - I would say that there is a high degree of alignment - I still worry that we believe we can teach the screenagers where in fact they are teaching us.  We are observing and they are changing faster than we can monitor..... The majority of social media-using teens say their peers are mostly kind to one another on social network sites. Their views are less positive than those of social media-using adults.  Most American teens who use social media say that in their experience, people their age are mostly kind to one another on social network sites. Overall, 69% of social media-using teens think that peers are mostly kind to each other on social network sites. Another 20% say that peers are mostly unkind, while 11% volunteered that “it depends.” At the same time, in a sim

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2XZNsBz0aGw] Forrester's CEO, George Colony outlined three social "thunderstorms" at LeWeb (2011) approaching the tech & business world. Watch the video before reading the comments :) Thunderstorm 1:  The Death of the Web The application economy has the potential to tap both processing power and the cloud to change the Web. This will be a move away from a client/server model to something more cleaver… Things to think about from me as I am not sure it is this simple… I agree with the move away from Client/Server for some apps services, however there are a number of balances 1.  user experience vs security – this is always a balance and depends on more than where the processing power is 2.  scale vs fragmentation – control does offer a few things, think…Apple iOS vs Google Andriod 3.  access speed vs cost – not everyone can afford everything 4.  data vs rights – stop pushing data and just send links and seek the rights 5

Image source www.stickycomics.com   Right now I have way too many applications that interact with each other from Twitter and Facebook for login credentials to many sites, deep integration with PayPal, Google and Posterous, and how my credibility, reputation or influence as measured by Klout or PeerIndex will change depending on what I connect.  As my social media tools has swopped from the destination (connections and updates) to authentication, so in my laziness I have become stuck (in a rut). I want a new key stoke to the above; “Laziness” But I find division and confusion reign in all directions. As I post from my Blog here at My Digital Footprint, as this gets carried across G+, Linkedin, Twitter and Facebook – comments come back from every angle which means spreading the message is easy (distribution and broadcast), collation of comments input and feedback is hard and difficult.  Everything is linked but just enough to make it sticky, if Sticky is too difficult to move (e.g Bank

Pew Research  found that’s the “major reason” given by six of every 10 users of Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn is “staying in touch.” And half of the people surveyed said the ability to reconnect with old friends played a “significant role” in using social networking. Other key findings include: – Only 11 percent of Twitter users said the major reason they used the microblogging service was to follow celebrities or politicians. – People ages 50 to 64 were more likely to use social networking sites to connect to others with a common hobby or interest. – Only 3 percent said they used social networks to find romantic partners.

More than two of five would accept a lower-paying job that had more flexibility with regard to device choice, social media access, and mobility than a higher-paying job with less flexibility. At least one in four said the absence of remote access would influence their job decisions, such as leaving companies sooner rather than later, slacking off, or declining job offers outright. Three out of 10 feel that once they begin working, it will be their right- more than a privilege -to be able to w

If the web is a "Social" something then this equals Facebook, Xing, Twitter, LinkedIn Google+. But social could mean.... "see what your friends are searching, buying, watching, liking, saying or doing" "buy together and recommend "filtered by who you know" "what's trending" "where are my friends right now or where will they be" Given that a social graph is a digital map that says, "This is who I know." It may reflect people who the user knows in various ways: as family members, work colleagues, peers met at a conference, high school classmates, fellow cycling club members, friend of a friend, etc. Social graphs are mostly created on social networking sites like Facebook and LinkedIn, where users send reciprocal invites to those they know, in order to map out and maintain their social ties. And an interest graph is a digital map that says, "This is what I like." As Twitter's CEO has remarked, if you se

    L2 research has published a study  (it is big and very good) measuring the online impacts of 87 magazine brands according to the quality and integration of their respective websites, digital marketing, social media and mobile presences.  TIME  was in top position and the only rated as Genius and was cited for a "Twitter feed with personality", subscriptions that bundle print with digital access on the iPad and online, a "robust" Facebook page, a range of apps for various devices and a drive to try new things.  Among all magazine brands studied, Time was the only one to achieve "genius" level.  “Many brands have pet projects on one social media outlet or mobile device – in stark contrast, Time manages a consistent, robust presence across multiple touch points”, says L2 researcher Colin Gilbert.  NYU professor Scott Galloway (founder of L2) remarked, “We believe that the Digital IQ is a proxy for a brand’s ability to survive and prosper."

Facebook asked a federal judge to dismiss a class action accusing it of exploiting children, claiming that Facebook users' "like" statements qualify as matters of public interest http://www.courthousenews.com/2011/08/08/38793.htm  "Expressions of consumer opinion, such as the plaintiffs' Like statements challenged here, have repeatedly qualified as matters of public interest under the First Amendment," Facebook claimed in a motion seeking "more definite statement or dismissal."   On behalf of their children, Melissa Dawes and Jennifer DeYoung filed a class action on June 1, claiming Facebook's non-negotiable terms of membership that say its members are subject to such advertising and marketing do not apply to minor children. The plaintiffs say children lack the capacity to consent to the use of their name and photographs for marketing, advertising and selling of goods and services. Facebook uses users' "Like" statements to
