Gestern haben wir schon berichtet, dass Facebook die 500 Millionen Nutzer Grenze überschritten hat. Heute wollen wir euch in der folgenden Infografik die aktuellen Keyfacts zu diesem Rekord noch einmal verdeutlichen:

Facebook Infografik und Statistiken

(Update: Es hat sich der Fehlerteufel eingeschlichen, bei der Demographie Männlich steht 2x “25-34″. Sollte natürlich einmal 35-44 sein. Wir werden den Fehler leider erst heute Abend korrigieren können.)

Nestle shares keep falling since their social media fail this morning

The nestle shares are going down fast. And this is all due to a social media fail they had on their Facebook Fanpage this morning. It started of with a Greenpeace video against palm oil Nestle is using (in German) and resulted in a classic social media fail

Also check out the post on the wall of their fanpage with which it all started.  Check out the comments too.

Update: I took out the flash chart of Nestle's share price as it updated constantly and later on didn't show the drop.

"The age of privacy is over" - Why Marc Zuckerberg is wrong

In her great post, Danah Boyd - researcher at Microsoft Research New England and a Fellow at the Harvard Berkman Center for Internet and Society - excellently explains why the reasoning made by Marc Zuckerbergs' privacy statements is wrong.

Sure, social media has changed the way we communicate. However, just like in the real world there are scenarios where we want to tell certain people things others shouldn't know about (and I am not talking about illegal activities).

The most important thing is that I want to have control over what I have to say and to whom I say it. And to make my content "public" should be the choice not the other way around. "Opt-In" instead of "Opt-out".

Privacy isn't a technological binary that you turn off and on. Privacy is about having control of a situation. It's about controlling what information flows where and adjusting measures of trust when things flow in unexpected ways. It's about creating certainty so that we can act appropriately. People still care about privacy because they care about control. Sure, many teens repeatedly tell me "public by default, private when necessary" but this doesn't suggest that privacy is declining; it suggests that publicity has value and, more importantly, that folks are very conscious about when something is private and want it to remain so. When the default is private, you have to think about making something public. When the default is public, you become very aware of privacy. And thus, I would suspect, people are more conscious of privacy now than ever. Because not everyone wants to share everything to everyone else all the time.

In the end it all boils down to the fact that Facebook can earn a lot more money when the information is publicly available than when the information is sealed off. So please Facebook, be frank and don't sell us the new privacy rules as beneficial to us users. The changes are a strategic move for you to grow your business. And there is nothing wrong with that... just please be transparent about it.

BTW: Zuckerberg is not the only one making remarks about user privacy. Several weeks ago I posted a link about Eric Schmidt - CEO of Google - and his thoughts about privacy. He has pretty similar ideas.

The Funniest Facebook Wallposts Of All Time (that's at least what the Huffington Post thinks)

Clearly not everybody understands the power (and the associated risks) of Facebook and socialmedia. Or would you say something like that at your best friends party, whilst his father is around? Social media is like a big party and your mom and dad are invited... so better behave.

More when you follow the huffingon post link...
