Facebook

The last few weeks we have seen a lot of mentions on Google plus and the fact that it reached 25m  back in August. I suspect this is much higher now.

What we have noticed the last few weeks is that Google plus is still not the first choice for sharing an article. Popular sites such as TechCrunch and Mashable do use all available sharing options. But if you look carefuly Google + is the used the least.

For Mashable.com more people click on StumbleUpon than Google Plus.  For TechCrunch more users preferred the Linkedin sharing option. It’s interesting to note that both site have a high number of web savvy users that do tend to use social media a lot more. I really do hope that Google plus will be a success as it does offer a lot more than Facebook!

A great infographic on Facebook by Namesake on the subject of IPO. Is Facebook goign to raise money through initial public offer? According to namesake yes in 2012.

Pixable has put together an infographic that details some interesting statistics about Facebook user behavior and their profile photos.

A few days ago Facebook announced that users now can tag brands on their photos in the same way as they do with their friends!

According to facebook: Photo tagging for Facebook Pages enables people to share richer stories with friends about the things they interact with in the real-world, such as businesses, brands, celebrities, and musicians.

This is definitely a great way for brands to gain more awareness. I can see companies starting competitions where they ask users to tag their products. The million dollar question is if the users are really going to tag their friends and then a can of software!

The last few months there has been a lot of talk about Facebook and Google. The good guys at Allfacebook.com decided to create an infographic to showcase the tention and the differences between those two giants which makes it more fun.
