In 2009 we saw exponential growth of social media. According to Nielsen Online, Twitter alone grew 1,382% year-over-year in February, registering a total of just more than 7 million unique visitors in the US for the month. Meanwhile, Facebook continued to outpace MySpace. So what could social media look like in 2010? In 2010, social media will get even more popular, more mobile, and more exclusive — at least, that's my guess. What are the near-term trends we could see as soon as next year? In no particular order: - Benjamin Junior

Over the past months, we’ve written quite a few PDF manuals for you, on all kinds of diverging subjects, including BitTorrent, iTunes, iPhone, Twitter, Mac, Linux, Photoshop and several other topics. Initially available only for subscribers, there are now multiple manuals released every month, for everyone to enjoy. After releasing 15 manuals and nearly half a million downloads we thought it was about time to look back and review what has been published so far. - Benjamin Junior

We're gluttons for infographics, and a team at Kansas State just served up a feast: maps of sin created by plotting per-capita stats on things like theft (envy) and STDs (lust). Christian clergy, likely noting the Bible Belt's status as Wrath Central, question the "science." Valid point—or maybe it's just the pride talking. - Benjamin Junior

Facebook Connect allows web developers to leverage the Facebook social application for their own off-Facebook applications.

This tutorial covers how to add a Facebook Connect button to your site (in this case, a blog that allows user comments) and adds the user's Facebook name and profile picture when a user clicks the Connect button. Note that this tutorial covers only the first steps towards a full Facebook Connect implementation. A complete solution will almost always involve a server-side component. We'll cover additional integrations in later videos. - Benjamin Junior

As the title suggests, Facebook claims to have done away with infinite session keys for some time now. What most of the wiki-based documentation doesn’t tell you, though, is that they’re still around, but under a different name, and they’re not acquired in the same way. It’s now a rather convoluted process, but here’s what you have to do - Benjamin Junior

Recently I was asked by one of my clients to develop a feature on his website so that a user on that website may click on a button and publish an image from his/her account (on that website) to his/her facebook account. While doing so the system would ask for the users facebook credentials. - Benjamin Junior

PunBB is a fast and lightweight PHP-powered discussion board. It is released under the GNU General Public License. Its primary goals are to be faster, smaller and less graphically intensive as compared to other discussion boards. PunBB has fewer features than many other discussion boards, but is generally faster and outputs smaller, semantically correct XHTML-compliant pages. - Benjamin Junior

Have you played around with SimplePie? If not, start experimenting. SimplePie is an amazingly useful file you include in your PHP scripts so you can parse RSS feeds. It’s fast, it’s powerful, it’s easy to use, and there’s a lot you can do with it. In addition to the ordinary stuff, like displaying feed content on your website, you can also utilize SimplePie for more interesting things….like combining RSS feeds. Why would you want to do that? Well, some of us have multiple blogs. Using SimplePie you can create a feed that aggregates all of your blogs’ feeds. Blog networks may find this technique useful as well. - Benjamin Junior

Facebook’s Terms of Use stipulate you can only have ONE account and it must be in your own REAL name. Not your business name, a fake name, pen name, etc. Nor can you have duplicate accounts. However, good news! Facebook does provide a place for you to represent your business, and that is Facebook Pages. Here’s the #1 reason to have your own Facebook Page (as well as your own Profile): - Benjamin Junior

In less than 15 years, blogging has exploded. Once a raft of small projects started by a few pioneering individuals, it has grown into a massive communication tool used by casual hobbyists and media behemoths alike. Blogs have evolved so much that the word has all but lost its meaning, serving as a catchall for nearly any online communication. - Benjamin Junior

If you’re like me, you probably have a blog and use Google Analytics to track visitor activity. If you’ve not already got one, you probably want a “Most Popular Posts” section on your blog as it’s a great way for new visitors to find your best content. The only problem is that this would usually have to be hard coded, and would therefore need updating periodically after you’ve checked the “Top Content” report in Google Analytics, or it would require some server-side scripting and a database to track your page views and show the links dynamically. - Benjamin Junior

Caching is the temporary storage of frequently accessed data in higher speed media (typically SRAM or RAM) for more efficient retrieval. Web caching stores frequently used objects closer to the client through browser, proxy, or server caches. By storing "fresh" objects closer to your users, you avoid round trips to the origin server, reducing bandwidth consumption, server load, and most importantly, latency. This article shows how to configure your Apache server for more efficient caching to save bandwidth and improve performance. - Benjamin Junior

Proposing a PDF link on your own website is an operation that can seem quite easy if you are a professional webmaster and know how to effectively use HTML tags.

Introducing the more powerful version of Invoice Invoice is a full-featured invoice application for SOHO or business users. It has been designed from scratch to use the power and beauty of the Mac OS, while making life as easy as possible for its users. Since Invoice was designed purely for OSX, it is not simply a port from another platform, unable to take full advantage of the OSX operating system. Invoice uses it ALL. - Benjamin Junior

I bought a new phone to replace my godawful Nokia N80. It’s a Sony Ericsson K810i and it’s all very shiny and nice. The only problem is that it isn’t yet supported in iSync on the Mac. Last time I had this problem was with the N80 and I fixed it by downloading a piece of XML and plonking it in the right directory. It’s good to share these solutions and, since it’s only a bit of text, it can be shared on forums and the like, which is where I found my N80 solution. Looking around the net I was absolutely mortified to see that the only solutions being “shared” to sync up your K810i with your Mac were being charged for. 10 Euros, at that! Knowing that these “plugins” are actually only a piece of text was incentive enough to sort this out without resorting to paying for it. - Benjamin Junior
