Rather than doing a mailing list for staying connected with one another, this Friend Feed Room is the perfect place for Social Media Club members and friends to share with one another.
Facebook’s Twitterification: Is it the Right Move? [No, it's not. The idea is to create competition, not become the competition.] - http://mashable.com/2009...
Yes, it is a good strategy to implement twitter-ish features. It doesn't mean Facebook is trying to become twitter. It doesn't mean they are trying to destroy twitter. It is acknowledgment that twitter capabilities do seem to fit with the existing functionality and direction of Facebook.

The only problem for Facebook is if they don't offer any more functionality than Twitter at some stage. Then the two services are basically equal, and neither has more appeal. Except of course, the fact that Twitter is much more accessible, and plays well with FriendFeed.

It's kind of a good idea. They need to stay relevant. But at the same time they need to make sure they don't abandon what drew users to them in the first place: Privacy and very selective life-sharing.

"One of the most anticipated days in the history of social networking site Facebook has finally come: the company announced today that it has begun making status messages, photos and videos visible to the public at large by default instead of being visible only to a user's approved friends."

I couldn't find the interactive version. There is just a video and it's saying that we r working on interactive version. (BTW, it's a great map.)

"To manage your followers or friends on twitter is not an easy task. To be successful on twitter you have to analyze different things. You should know how active your followers are, do they retweet your tweets, do they update regularly and you should know those whom you are following are following you. To manage all above things there are some helpful web based applications. Good news is you don’t have to search for them i have already compiled 30 twitter tools for you to manage followers."

Really great list. This is just what I was looking for!

I've been using Frostwire - a few years back i wanted to get Limewire, it wasn't free then...but i'm wondering about Limewire's free version...any good?
- Aline Ohannessian
Aline: What do you use it for? I just don't see the need to use it in my workflow/life?
- Mike Bracco
@Mike i hardly use it, and when i do i only use it to download music :)
- Aline Ohannessian
I'm all about using it for Music downloads - i guess my question would be which is better for Audio :)
- Aline Ohannessian
OMG, I haven't used LimeWire/FrostWire in forever. Songbird for music and Vuze for everything else.
- Fleagle
I use FrostWire because it's open source AND you get a Turbocharged connection for free, as opposed to having to pay for LimeWire Pro to get the same in Limewire

I didn't know that any used the old gnutella networks anymore - bittorrent is so much faster and better quality.

It's still one of the best when you only want a single track as opposed to an entire album. Since I'm MUCH more into the former than the latter, I use it a lot. My favorite client overall is Cabos, though

You can just select one track on bt as well.

Yes, but torrents don't show you the metadata, length or quality of what you're downloading *by default*
- LANjackal
via IM
Unless you're on a private tracker, you can be easily disappointed by downloading a music torrent, only to find that the file's a shit rip, a bogus copy (wrong length), poor quality, etc. I'm not saying that's *always* the case, but it's a LOT easier to find a single track I'm looking for by searching directly for it on Gnutella than sifting through torrents
- LANjackal

Neither. :) Unless someone I know shares something with me, I'd rather just buy it from Amazon.
- Tsega Dinka
LOL I listen to way too much music and demand too much flexibility for 100% paid download or subscription services to meet my needs. That said, I *do* buy some of my music

@Outsanity @Bill: Obviously you guys don't know what you're doing. I've been using P2P & Gnutella for 8 years now and I've never gotten a virus from it. Fake/infected files in search results are easily spotted and avoided.
- LANjackal
@LANJackal - as a matter of fact, I do know what I'm doing - but most users DON'T. I've seen too many people end up with malware and trojans because they downloaded "something for free".
- Bill Sodeman
I'm a bit confused about how they can sell blocks of 1000 followers who also just happen to be interested in your topic. The whole concept of buying and selling followers seems so silly and contradictory to the purpose of Twitter altogether.

Social Media Tracking Sites and Statistics
It’s not all about the numbers, but having the numbers helps. Here’s a recap of tracking sites worth the bookmark, several articles on the topic and a measurement/ROI discussion forum. http://scoopdog.wordpress.com/2009... .
Still needs calendaring support before I'll look at it. Thunderbird isn't great but at least it has a calendaring plug-in that works well.
- Noah White
Noah: I hear what you're saying about the calendaring...they're still in beta, so hopefully they'll incorporate it :o) - But pretty awesome client!!

Do 'I'm on vacation' posts pose security concerns? - If you tweet your vacation details you could be telling buglers who monitor Twitter just how much time they have to clean out your house. - http://news.yahoo.com/s...
I think there's some time before burglars in India get Tech Savvy... but it just may be a valid concern.
- Parth Awasthi
As an InfoSec guy, this is just a variation on a very old enterprise business concern. Auto-vacation email replies have posed the problem for years and are studiously avoided by many organizations. Why broadcast that you're away in that way if not necessary.

I started on facebook BECAUSE of the privacy controls. I dont want to have some troll telling me that I am stupid or something on my pages.
