Social Networking

Posted by: hitechgurli on: April 23, 2009

Just happened upon an article of yet another “change of guard” so to speak.   MySpace  Co_Founder  Chris Dewolfe is relinquishing his CEO title. He & Tom Anderson (Co-Founder)  will both be taking on different roles within MySpace.

Facebook

( another Social Networking site ) has grown to over 200 million users . MySpace just needs to pick it up a little. They still have more to offer in the line of music, backgrounds and has a different climate for users.  It really doesn’t matter…if you are networking you are going to ALL places or you have your favorites.  What makes it different to the developers is they want the #’s topping the chart!

I also heard a little chatter that YouTube & My Space were going to add a little embellishments….but they come with a small price …..mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, as they all do!

In the last few weeks changing leaders, corporate heads, financial structures and reorganizing everything from “what is to be deducted on your taxes ” to “who is who ” at which bank…. has been  more than what USA bargained for!  The only thing US citizens were expecting in 2009 was a New President of the United States of America.  Instead the Walls of Jerico came tumbling down…..Fannie Mae & Freddie Mac started ,Investment Banking & The major Car Dealerships chimed in. 

The end is really no where in site to this landfall of American money….. loss of jobs,homes and innocent people who are now punnished with creditors limitting their liabilties. Sounds a little unfair that “WE THE PEOPLE” should be responsible for something we didn’t create.  Not to mention the Bernie Madoff $50 Billion Ponzi Scheme

It seems as the Internet is no different.  Time Warner bought AOL, BeBo bought AOL ? , Yahoo merger with AOL, Yahoo &  Microsoft haggling , Google & YouTube ($1.65 Billion ) , Google & DoublecClick ($3.1.Billion )  and more…please read.

To no surprise YouTube will be making a few changes. Google has not been happy with the performance in marketing since it was purchased  in 2006. It looks as if they will emerge with good revenue soon. Movies, TV Shows,Online Music ideo Venture and Advertising. 

And the “BEAT” does go on and on and on……. My thoughts were in reading all these new highlights throughout the WWW……… Marketing Extravaganza   $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ 

 I was on Twitter and happened to read that they were also considering a “paid” area.   I slowly had trouble writing my limited amount of words. Just the thought grimised my face. I could feel the wrinkles on my face as I was thinking how to write a complaint. Then I discovered a huge percent of the users on there are Social Networking paid employees as well as companies netwoking themselves! Who would care?

Each networking site wants you to join their community and they say…… for social networking….. NOT Marketing. Now we are adding “purchasing * to their list. Yes… I know it is optional…but , usually you need whatever it is they are selling to enhance your stay there!

And…by the way……  Did we ask for all the brainstorming resulting in $ ?   NO…. most would prefer to surf & play free. GREED is the downfall of all the above …….and is still feasting well.

  • Cloud computing's CO2 lining November 4, 2009
    On my scavenger hunt into cloud computing, I learned there are few if any ways to compare one cloud computing company to another. Say, for instance, you wanted to upload the contents of your laptop to "the cloud" of the Internet. It would be hard if not impossible to get a comparison about how well [...]

  • The fast-growing 'cloud utility' November 4, 2009
    Cloud computing appears to be growing like mad. Instead of computing on our desktops and laptops, many people are moving the heavy lifting to data centers in secretive locations all of the world. These centers are owned largely by big companies like Google, Amazon, IBM and Microsoft, which charge monthly fees to clients who want to move [...]

  • Adobe not happy about iPhone's lack of Flash November 3, 2009
    Adobe is not happy about the iPhone's lack of Flash support and the company is accusing Apple of unfairly restricting the technology. iPhone users who visit the Flash installation site are greeted with a not-so-subtle message claiming: Flash Player not available for your device. Apple restricts use of technologies required by products like Flash Player. […]
