Given Facebook’s size and popularity — the social network has over 845 million members worldwide — eight years is actually quite a long time. Over that period, Facebook had unprecedented access to capital, and on sites like SharesPost and SecondMarket, pre-IPO prospectors have been able to purchase and trade shares in the company from employees and other early stakeholders. The company’s relative maturity means that most of the millions — or billions — that could be made from buying public shares have probably already been made.

RFID Bracelet Brings Facebook To The Real World
Visitors at the Coca Cola Village Amusement Park in Israel got a taste of Facebook in the real world when they were handed RFID-enabled Facebook bracelets. These bracelets allowed people to login into their Facebook accounts and then “like” the various attractions and recreational activities in the amusement park that would show up on their Facebook profiles. And since “tagging” is a big feature in Facebook, all the visitors had to do was flash their bracelets when the resident photographer takes their photo which would auto-tag them in the uploaded image on Facebook.

Typical!
Yesterday, as I started to play with just the functionality of the site—unsuccessfully trying to sync/iframe ‘the beef’ with its Facebook app—what started off with simple intentions, quickly grew to become a full-blown, all-consuming, digital facelift.
I’m still wishing the ‘/archive’ layout could be used but, until that day, here’s a slightly updated, spruced-up ‘What’s the beef?’.
“Twitter. What’s it all about?”
Whenever time allows, we are always looking in to new and improved tools we can use to increase the profile and visibility of the business. It’s something I started to get in to in a former life and has really proved successful since we decided to go it alone (so to speak). But Twitter. What is that all about?
As an avid Facebooker, Linkedin user, ASW’er, the list goes on. Twitter, once an obscure tool that, I admit, never really took much interest in, is fast becoming the missing link. Combined with Growl and Mac Mail’s new RSS capabilities, distractions from the job at hand are less, and we are in a better position to choose what comes in, how and most importantly, when.
