Verizon lets viewers tweet & update their status on TV - Spr
When we recently reported on Verizon’s sponsorship of the New York Mets’ interactive big screen , we noticed that the telecom giant is also bringing social media to the small screen, with a Twitter widget for its FiOS fiber optic TV service. The widget, freely available to all FiOS subscribers, is displayed on one half of the TV screen, allowing viewers to continue watching their favourite show while following a related feed or discussing it with their followers on Twitter. The Twitter widget, available to the approximately 2.5 million households with FiOS TV, has been very successful so far, with some 1 million users in the first few days. It’s part of a suite of applications available to FiOS customers through the service’s ‘Widget Bazaar’, which also includes a Facebook app—proving popular for picture sharing—and Blip.tv, which hosts user-produced video content.Source: Shutterstock The attention dashboard is rapidly emerging as the online hub for sharing and discovering information, connecting us to people, content, and events in real-time.

Can a Billion Views Help a Billion People?
Last week, we announced that YouTube serves over one billion video views per day. It's a pretty staggering number, right? That's also the number of people in the world who don't have enough food to eat. According to the UN World Food Program , for the first time in history, there are over 1 billion hungry people on Earth -- that's one in seven humans. Today, on World Food Day, the World Food Program (WFP) is showing how you, the estimated one billion internet users, can help the one billion people who live in hunger: The WFP isn't alone in their efforts.
Facebook accounted for 14.5% of all UK Internet page views during September 2009, equivalent to 1 in every 7. The social network is the second most visited website in the UK after Google UK, but because users view a much larger number of pages per visit, Facebook is the clear leader in terms of page views. As the table below illustrates, it currently receives more page views than Google UK, eBay UK and YouTube combined. As the chart below illustrates, UK Internet visits to Facebook increased by 86.1% between September 2008 and September 2009, and have more than doubled over the last 14 months. During September the site accounted for almost half (49.2%) of all UK internet visits to a social networking website.

SAP’s Gravity Prototype: Business Collaboration Using Google Wav
Posted by sapweb20 on Thursday, October 15, 2009 · 28 Comments Loading ... Alexander Dreiling of SAP Research in Brisbane, Australia, has posted on a great prototype called Gravity that uses Google Wave to collaborate around business process. Gravity is a Google Wave “gadget” that can be added within the Google Wave client.As I was writing Singled Out and gleefully mocking couples who take those sappy love songs seriously, I occasionally stopped to wonder whether I was unfairly caricaturing them. "You are my everything." "I just want to be your everything." Does anyone really buy that? Turns out, the answer is yes.

Why Facebook, Twitter, Google Wave Still Bow to King E-Mail
The Wall Street Journal published a comprehensive feature Oct. 12 on the wane of e-mail's reign, thanks to the rise of Facebook, Twitter and collaboration platforms such as Google Wave. There are many, many fine points in the piece, which fairly covers the increase in adoption of social networks and the proliferation of real-time Web services and the filters and tags that help us govern them. Unfortunately, it's not a fair reflection of the world outside Silicon Valley, where hype browbeats the public and wills products into popularity. Millions of desk-bound workers and corporate road warriors in offices all over the world rely on e-mail as the de facto standard for communication, often in lieu of telephones. <a href="http://o1.qnsr.com/cgi/r?
