Facebook Timeline Finally Available To Everyone Worldwide

Facebook has announced an update on the Facebook blog today that the rollout of Timeline, its new profile page concept and layout, is now available wordwide. Timeline was originally introduced at the Facebook f8 conference on September 22, 2011, but was limited to only a few people and those who took the time to install the “developer” version (yes, for geeks like me who couldn’t wait). Timeline is, according to Facebook, “…a new kind of profile that lets you highlight the photos, posts and life events that help you tell your story”. It looks completely different from the “old” Facebook, which was [...]

Non! to Facebook, Twitter: France Bans On-Air Mentions

Leave it to the French to come up with another ban – this time it’s on-air mention of Facebook and Twitter. Ah, yes – the logic of banning the internet on television – somewhat ironic, to say the least. Here’s what one of the CSA – the French TV regulatory agency Conseil Supérieur de l’Audiovisuel - regulators had to say: “Why give preference to Facebook, which is worth billions of dollars, when there are many other social networks that are struggling for recognition? This would be a distortion of competition. If we allow Facebook and Twitter to be cited on air, [...]

Editorial: The New Rules of Survival on the Social Internet

A Massachusetts teacher, June Talvitie-Siple, gets fired from her job because of disparaging comments she wrote about the school community on Facebook.

Yahoo Makes “Friends” with Facebook

As Amir Efrati wrote recently in the Wall Street Journal, social-networking giant Facebook grabbed a major share of on-line advertising marketing while Yahoo Inc. just stood by and watched. Finally, Yahoo has decided to use some of the most popular and effective of Facebook’s marketing tools – the “Like” and “Share” buttons. Yahoo has placed the buttons on their news and sports websites to give their contacts a chance to share articles with their contacts on Facebook. Yahoo, like other providers of content, is trying to leverage Facebook’s gigantic user base to draw traffic back to Yahoo after readers have [...]
