Your Week In Review
It is Friday all ready? Wow it kind of snuck up on me. With that being said lets see what links we have for this week:
-Facebook is throwing down with its Term of Service in regards to Alcohol. No more sending virtual drinks to anyone under 21.
-Speaking of Facebook.. they hit 150 million users 4 months after hitting 100 million in August 2008
-A lot of people question what social networking sites are really good for. What else can they do? Read this great post about how social media came to the aid of an abused woman and rasied money for her.
-Remember MySpace? Oh your still on MySpace? Sorry. Well it is becoming a Ghost Town of sorts according to Natasha Westcoast. Read her great post called MySpace:Creating Community In A Ghost Town
-Wanna guess what the best selling album download of 2008 was via Amazon? Nope.. wrong.. good guess. It was Ghosts I-IV by Nine Inch Nails. Why you ask is this worth mentioning? It was totally free to download. Yep, the #1 album was free, though people could pay if they wanted too. Oh and Viva La Vida by Coldplay was number 2.
-In November of 2008 Bill Johnston at Forum One Communications started a survey on Online Communities called Surviving & Thriving in the Downturn economy. It short it found that online communities are thriving and the outlook is good.
So did I miss anything?
