Report: 1 of 5 online minutes spent on social media

comScore

By Athima Chansanchai

As 2011 winds down, one thing seems destined for more connections in 2012: social networking, with sites that?reach 1.2 billion users, 82 percent of the world?s online population.?A recent report has the potential of blowing any doubts away about the influence of Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and others of its ilk with the revelation that social networking accounts for nearly 1 in every 5 online minutes.

The global Web analytics company comScore just released the report, "It's a Social World:?Top 10 Need-to-Knows About Social Networking and Where It's Headed." According to it, Facebook rules the rest, reaching "more?than half of the world's global audience (55 percent)" and having accounted for "approximately 3 in every 4 minutes spent on social networking sites and 1 in every 7 minutes spent online around the world."

Its world dominance is profound, with only seven countries where it doesn't have the largest audience in this category: Brazil, Japan, Poland, Russia, South Korea, Vietnam and China, some of which currently block the site.

Right along with Facebook, Twitter is a force to be reckoned with that "reaches?1 in 10 Internet users worldwide to rank among the top social networks, and posted an impressive growth rate of 59 percent over the past year." But its Chinese equivalent, Sina Weibo, posted the highest growth at 181 percent since October 2010.

The report also breaks down social networking's reach into different age groups, and reveals that the group with the biggest gain is the 55 and older set, which showed that nearly 80 percent are connected through such sites now, up from a little over 70 percent in July 2010. But, younger people still tend to spend the most time on social media, with the 15- to 24-year-old women spending 8.6 hours on average (1.1 hours more than their male counterparts).

And more people are using their phones to reach those sites: "In October 2011, nearly one-third (32 percent) of the total U.S. mobile population age 13 and older reported accessing social networking sites on their phone at least once in the past month." Interaction goes up even higher for smartphone users:?64 percent "reported accessing social networking sites once in the previous month and nearly 40 percent reported doing so almost every day." The top two activities they do on the go shouldn't come as any surprise: reading posts from personal friends and posting status updates.?

Google+ does get a mention in the report as a potential "disrupter" to the social network world order, with its?65 million global visitors, or 5 percent of the global social networking audience. The report makes some cautious predictions about where it may go:

While this early adoption bodes well for Google+, whether or not the network can sustain this growth and a strong level of engagement among users will be better indicators of its success in the future. Google+ might emerge as a social networking leader in its own right in the years to come, but exactly how big it will be remains to be seen.?

23 de Dezembro de 2011 - 08:00h


O time de desenvolvimento do Google respons?vel pelo sistema operacional Android fez uma mensagem de natal bem bacana:

O Google gosta tanto do natal que deu at? um jeito de qualquer pessoa seguir os passos do bom velhinho. Para ver por onde ele anda, ? s? acessar o Google Maps do seu Xperia? no dia 24 de dezembro e procurar por ?santa? ? o Papai Noel ? chamado Santa Claus no Estados Unidos ? ou ?noel?. Voc? ver? por onde ele passa com seu trn?, espalhando os presentes para as crian?as que se comportaram. Os pequenos ficam super empolgados com o rastreamento em tempo real?

Quem diria que seu Xperia?, al?m de ser super vers?til, tamb?m poderia trazer um pouquinho da magia do natal?

Sony, Samsung dissolve panel joint venture

Japan's Sony and South Korean rival Samsung are dissolving their joint venture in liquid crystal display panels as Sony tries to stanch years of losses in its TV business.

Sony Corp. said Monday that Samsung Electronics Co. will buy all of Sony's shares in the joint venture for about 1.08 trillion Korean won ($935 million) subject to a final agreement.

The joint venture called S-LCD was set up in 2004. Sony, which fell behind in flat panel TVs, invested in a Samsung panel factory to ensure a steady supply of panels for its LCD TVs.

Sony's TV operation has lost money for seven straight years and the company is straining to return that key business to profit.

The prices of TVs as well as panels have been dropping so it makes more sense to buy panels at the market rate than to invest in production.

Sony, which makes Bravia TV sets, does not make its own LCD panels.

It said it will enter a new partnership with Samsung to buy panels, and will also continue buying panels from other manufacturers.

Sony said it will suffer a loss of 66 billion yen ($846 million) for the third quarter of this fiscal year, which ends later this month, because of the declining value of investment in S-LCD.

Getting out the production venture will produce substantial savings after January 2012, when the deal is completed, according to Sony.

It was still unclear how Sony's profit forecast for the fiscal year through March 2012 will be affected, said company spokesman Takashi Uehara.

Egypt court ends virginity tests on female detainees (Reuters)

CAIRO (Reuters) ? An Egyptian court ordered on Tuesday that forced virginity tests be stopped on female detainees in military prisons.

The case was filed by Samira Ibrahim, a woman who said the army forced her to undergo a virginity test in March after she was arrested during a protest in Cairo's Tahrir Square.

Human rights organizations say that there have been many other such tests by the military.

"The court orders that the execution of the procedure of virginity tests on girls inside military prisons be stopped," said judge Aly Fekry, head of Cairo Administrative court. Hundreds of activists inside the courtroom cheered after the ruling was read out.

(The story version changes the virginity test date in the second paragraph to March from April)

Pig Maher Trashes Tim Tebow on Twitter

[unable to retrieve full-text content]

Source: nation.foxnews.com --- Tuesday, December 27, 2011
Bill Maher?s Christmas Eve ?Jesus F***ed Tim Tebow? ?Satan Is Tebowing? Tweet Stirs Outrage By Tommy Christopher, Mediaite Stand-up comic and quasi-political commentator Bill Maher flexed some of his favorite comedic muscles in a Christmas Eve tweet that had it all: profanity, shock value, and Maher?s trademark blasphemy. Referring to the Denver Broncos? crushing loss to the Buffalo Bills, Maher tweeted, ?Wow, Jesus just fucked #TimTebow bad! And on Xmas Eve! Somewhere in hell Satan is tebowing, saying to Hitler ?Hey, Buffalo?s killing them?? According to The Blaze, there?s a predictable amount of outrage over this, but stripped of its shock value, Maher?s tweet is just a variation on a sharp, if well-worn, comedic criticism of athletes? tendency toward ostentatious religious displays. ...
