Power.com: The Next Massive IM and Social Networking Aggregator?

http://mashable.com/2008/11/30/power/ From there, you can view new activities from friends on those services, see who’s online across all of them via a buddy list, and use the “Power Communicator” to simultaneously send a message to your friends on any site you have synced with Power.com. In other words, if your friends are spread across many social networks, you can see an aggregate view of their activities and message them on their native network, all from inside the Power.com interface. Isn’t this just like Friendfeed? Not exactly.

Facebook Claims 250 Million Users -- Social Networking -- InformationWeek

http://www.informationweek.com/news/internet/social_network/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=218501010 The social network has added 50 million users in a little over three months according to CEO Mark Zuckerberg, and 100 million users this year, making it one of the fastest growing social networks on the Web. The site says that about half of Facebook's users -- 120 million -- log on every day, that two-thirds of them are out of college, and that the fastest growing age group for Facebook users is 35 and over. "The 250 million of you on Facebook today are what gives Facebook life and makes the site meaningful to everyone using it, so we thank you," wrote Zuckerberg, who founded the social network five years ago while he was a student at Harvard.

Why I love Twitter - by Tim O'Reilly

http://radar.oreilly.com/2008/11/why-i-like-twitter.html If you care what I think, you know that Twitter is just about the best way to learn what I'm paying attention to . I pass along tidbits of O'Reilly news, interesting reading from mailing lists and blogs I follow, and of course, tidbits from the twitterers I'm following. These are all the things I could never find time to put on my blog, but that I spray via email like a firehose at editors, conference planners, and researchers within O'Reilly. A lot of my job is, as we say, "redistributing the future" - following interesting people, and passing on what I learn to others.
