Ypulse recently undertook a survey of 1,000 teens and college students to understand how their social networking habits have changed over time. The results revealed some interesting stats suggesting that some young people are indeed affected by “Facebook Fatigue“-a phenomenon of  users spending less and less time on it.

Thanks to @rissahey for this tasty link.

If technology has put a barrier between people as some would say, why are we so interested in using it to tell stories of humanity? I can’t wait to see this film.

Anyone else think the narrator sounds a bit like Gary from Team America World Police?

“From a broad strategy point of view, there’s a huge potential with the ability to connect people to promotional experiences,” said Bonin Bough, PepsiCo’s global director of digital and social media. “We know where people are and can talk to them from a geo-located perspective — that’s a huge opportunity.”

That’s exciting, also, for Foursquare, which in this deal and others is starting to build the foundation of a revenue model on location-based marketing services. Foursquare is planning paid services for three tiers of businesses: small, privately owned stores and restaurants; brands with retail chains, such as Tasti D-Lite; and huge multinational marketers such as Pepsi.

Key sentence in this article: “…starting to build the foundation of a revenue model on location-based marketing services.”

Everybody goes online, everybody has a cell phone, and kids hate blogging and Twitter, according to a new survey from the Pew Research Center’s Internet & American Life Project.

The recent news that Conan O’Brien will be replaced by Jay Leno has caused white people to erupt with rage and hostility. You might even expect them to lash out and do something about it like take to the streets or write a letter to NBC to voice their dissatisfaction with the network. But no, white people will solve this problem the way that they solved the election crisis in Iran – through Facebook and Twitter status updates. In 2009, millions of white people took 35 seconds to turn their twitter profiles green, and consequently sent a very powerful message to the leaders of Iran. Their message was that they wanted their friends to know that they would stop at nothing to ensure freedom and democracy for the Iranian people. Thanks in large part to that effort Iran is now completely democratic. With that issue settled, white people are launching a similar campaign for Conan that is sure to have similar results.

Pretty much nailed “Twitter” right on the head.
