If the website were granted terra firma, it would be the world's third largest country by population, two-thirds bigger than the U.S. More than 1 in 4 people who browse the Internet not only have a Facebook account but have returned to the site within the past 30 days.

Great new video from the producers of Socialomics. ** Pretty strong stuff. This video was produced by XPLANE , a Portland-, St. Louis- and Madrid-based firm that bills itself as "The Visual Thinking Company" – in conjunction with the release of a new book called "Socialnomics." I've seen some of XPLANE's work and its ability to create films which display facts and figures in a dynamic way - makes Powerpoint animations look positively ...

Here is a good story of what Facebook is doing, almost a mimic of ever successful Google.

 

Facebook is about to try to dominate display ads the way Google dominates text ads

It is customary to divide online advertising into two categories: direct response and brand advertising. I prefer instead to divide it according to the mindset of users: whether or not they are actively looking to purchase ...

This has not been a good week for Facebook.  With the uproar over privacy and security on Facebook splashing across blogs, magazines and television, this has been a week the folks in Palo Alto would just as soon forget.  But the onslaught continues, with this latest post about a security flaw discovered the other day and posted on YouTube.

Facebook has made some changes.

Not exactly a revelation, right?  I mean, as a speaker, trainer and consultant on the most popular social network in the universe, it infuriates me that Facebook changes its interface, Terms of Service and navigation more frequently than I change my socks.  Well, not really.  I change my socks daily.

 Just as in any rapidly evolving industry or niche, Social Media leadership is fickle and subject to change daily and at the whim of a single play. Turnabout is fair play, take a look at how Facebook may have outmaneuvered Google:

Google on High Alert: New Strategy Changes the Rules
