As the others watched, Matas tapped on his iPhone and opened a digital photo of Niagara Falls. The phone zoomed in on the heart of the image, showing the glistening falls in sharp detail, and then, simply by tilting the phone back and forth, he could explore other parts of this high-res photo, panning across the image as if he was moving through a virtual world or a 3D game. It was the birth of the “tilt-to-explore” photo viewer now offered by Facebook Paper, the new iPhone news reading app that is, in many ways, redefining the art of mobile software.

Articles and long-time columnists at The Times were put on a pedestal that only the very best and brightest of my classes could even dream of reaching. For those on the print track, you wanted a byline in The Times and for those on the public relations track -- like me -- you wanted to be quoted about your client in The Times. I purposely avoided the documentary "Page One" about The Times. I didn't want to consider the notion that such an institution was potentially on the precipice of collapse. When the documentary was added to Netflix streaming, I added it to my queue. Facebook, une réussite technologique. Hier soir, Facebook a enfin déposé son dossier d'introduction en Bourse auprès du gendarme américain de la Bourse, la SEC.
Depuis, il est épluché par tous les experts de la place, qui cherchent à déterminer si une société qui fait 3,7 milliards de dollars de chiffre d'affaires peut réellement en valoir 100 milliards. Mais ne regarder que la base d'utilisateurs (845 millions de membres actifs) et les recettes publicitaires revient à passer à côté d'un élément fondamental de la valeur de Facebook : son incroyable force technologique. C'est Patrice Lamothe, le fondateur de Pearltrees - et qui en tant que tel gère des interactions multiples d'une communauté d'internautes avec des objets Web - qui m'a expliqué le comment du pourquoi récemment.

For the first time, the company gave a look at how it monetizes on a per user basis in different parts the world. There was one chart of most interest. It shows that Facebook made about $9.51 in advertising revenue per user in the U.S. and Canada. Europe was about half that much with $4.86 in ad revenue per user. Asia and the rest of the world follow that at $1.79 and $1.42 per user. But these revenues are also affected by seasonal and macroeconomic trends. Plus, Asia and the rest of the world will be a challenge for awhile. There are six main factors that affect how much Facebook’s advertising revenues can grow over the next several years.

In a fascinating paper to be published next year, Facebook social scientist Lars Backstrom and Cornell University professor Jon Kleinberg reveal just how much insight can be gleaned from the structure of a network, illustrating both the value of what the American security establishment reassures us is “just metadata” and revealing Facebook’s baroque privacy settings as the faith-based garments of the emperor’s new clothes. Here’s how it works: Backstrom and Kleinberg collected a random sample of some 1.3 million Facebook users who list a spouse or some sort of relationship partner on their profiles.
That gave them a dataset with some 8.6 billion links containing 379 million nodes, or points where links overlap.
