Now we know Google ’s master-plan for integrating Google+ ever more deeply into the Google ecosystem: Pour the whole thing into Google search. Starting today, Google+ members, and to a lesser extent others who are signed into Google, will be able to search against both the broader web and their own Google+ social graph. That’s right; Google+ circles, photos, posts and more will be integrated into search in ways other social platforms can only dream about.

Facebook 2012: What the Future Holds for the Social Media Powerhouse
What do you do after your site grows to 800 million users and expands to 1 trillion pageviews per month? Why, plan a $100 billion IPO, of course! Going public is clearly the biggest thing on tap for Facebook in 2012, but the world’s most populated social network and its users have a lot to look forward to over the coming year. From the maturation of Mark Zuckerberg as a leader to Facebook’s growth as a media platform to a looming collision with the world’s biggest tech companies, 2012 is poised to be one of the most important years in the company’s short history.Et si Google+ était en fait un succès ? | FrenchWeb.fr
Passée l’euphorie des premiers jours, les analystes ont été nombreux à qualifier Google+ d’échec. Les utilisateurs se sont inscrits en masse… pour ne pas faire grand chose. Un réseau social que personne n’utilise, c’est forcément, un échec, non ?Facebook Will File IPO as Early as April 2012 [REPORT]
Facebook will make its long-anticipated move to go public between April and June 2012, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal on Monday. The report, which cites “people familiar with the matter,” says that Facebook is considering raising $10 billion in an IPO that could value it at more than $100 billion. This is consistent with a report in June that used the same eye-popping number of zeros to describe Facebook’s expected valuation. If realized, the valuation would make Facebook’s IPO one of the largest in history — more than four times as big as Google’s $23 billion IPO in 2004, and likely one of the 10 largest IPOs of all time. While the first rumors of Facebook’s impending IPO predicted that the company would go public during the first quarter of 2012, recent reports had suggested that the offering had been pushed back to “September or later.”Stallman le craignait, Christine Albanel invente le droit de lire - PC INpact

Comment manipuler l'information sur Internet | Slate
- REUTERS/Esam Al-Fetori - 2 012 ne sera pas une partie de campagne, ça semble maintenant acquis. L'épisode de la Porsche de DSK et les rumeurs sur Martine Aubry ont donné le ton de la campagne présidentielle. Les boules puantes ont trouvé avec Internet un nouveau terrain de jeu idéal.A l’avènement d’Internet et des « autoroutes de l’information », l’optimisme était de mise. Les nouveaux outils électroniques promettaient de rapprocher les gens. L’entraide, l’échange allaient améliorer notre vie et nous rendre meilleurs. Triste constat : les réseaux en réalité rapprochent moins les gens qu’ils ne les sélectionnent. Les réseaux sociaux sont parvenus à réaliser peu ou prou la prophétie de Marshall Mc Luhan : nous voilà en plein village global . Les distances physiques ont été abolies, nous pouvons communiquer de mieux en mieux avec n’importe qui sur la planète, hier avec le téléphone, aujourd’hui avec du son et de l’image via Skype.
Klout, la bataille sociale se durcit » Médiaculture
Pour cette rentrée, Rue89, Slate.fr ou Mediapart espèrent capitaliser sur la présidentielle, tandis que les petits nouveaux préparent leur arrivée dans la cour des grands. 2012, scénario catastrophe pour les sites d’information en ligne non adossés à un titre papier, appelés pure players ? Ce n’est pas ce qui se profile à l’orée de la saison médiatique 2011-2012. Et l’arrivée de petits nouveaux – d’une version française du Huffington Post à un site hybride 100% Lagardère – semble confirmer qu’il y a encore de la place pour l’information en ligne. Pour la présidentielle, les anciens capitalisent sur leurs acquis

Facebook is actively trying to block Facebook Friend Exporter , a Google Chrome extension that lets you export the list and contact info of your Facebook friends for use in other services, the extension developer Mohamed Mansour claims. “Facebook is trying so hard to not allow you to export your friends. They started to remove emails of your friends from your profile by today July 5th 2011. (The extension) will no longer work for many people,” Mansour wrote on the extension’s homepage . The Facebook Friend Exporter is a simple tool that lets you grab phone numbers, e-mails and other data from your Facebook friends, and directly import them into Google Contacts.

Last night, you may have heard talk of a mysterious black bar appearing on the top of Google.com. Or you may have even seen it yourself. No, you weren’t hallucinating. It was a sign of something about to show itself. Something big.
Google+ Project: It’s Social, It’s Bold, It’s Fun, And It Looks Good — Now For The Hard Part
Paywalls are not easy. For proof, look at well, just about every site that has ever tried to implement one. The barrier is always met with huge backlash. But much of that backlash often comes from the savvy readers who had been used to getting at the content for free on the web. NYT seems to be betting here that these users are the same ones that now rely on Twitter and Facebook for their news discovery. And they will be unaffected.
The Google Loophole Has Become The Facebook/Twitter Loophole
The newspaper ad business isn’t looking any healthier than the recorded music business . Nor is it looking any less delusional. Today, the Newspaper Association of America released ad statistics for 2010 along with a bizarrely cheery message from its president John F. Strum , but the numbers paint an ugly picture. Total ad revenue per capita is down 63% from its all time high in 1988, but the real crunch has been just the past 3 years: since 2007 inflation adjusted per capita ad revenue has plummeted 47%. Even looking at the raw dollars, ad revenue has dropped 43% in that period.
