As per a recent post on Business Week, Super Bowl fans are now using Twitter along with the Super Bowl running on TV to create a true “two screen” experience.
An estimated 144 million Americans own tablet computers or smartphones, said Roger Entner, an analyst at Recon Analytics LLC. Of those, 40 percent use the devices daily while watching television, according to Nielsen. Of that tally, half of the tablet owners and 42 percent of the smartphone users also visit social sites such as those run by Twitter Inc. and Facebook Inc. while watching TV, media- viewership tracker Nielsen Nielsen noted.

For some time now there has been a rumor circulating the tech world that Facebook wants to launch its own smartphone.

The Apple iPhone 5 officially is being launched today. With the iPhone 4 having been around for 15 months this has the longest period ever where Apple failed to update one of their products. Clearly, it seems like Apple took extra time in fixing many issues seen with the iPhone 4.

Too many people have been burned out by so-called Social Media “experts,” where all they do are the most basic Facebook and Twitter activities, sign up onto many social media sites, once in a while update statuses and try to friend/follow everyone on the planet, and hope for the best. What’s worse is they command a truckload of money for providing a potentially revenue-generating service that they don’t “get.”
The big players of the social networking sites are bigger than they’ve ever been and continuing to grow.
Today LinkedIn went public, the first social networking site to do so. “LinkedIn opened at $83 on the New York Stock Exchange, up 84% from its initial public offering price of $45. It was recently changing hands at $85.99 a share, up 91%, valuing the company at more than 8 billion.”

The Facebook team does it again. They have started a major upgrade to their mobile version. There’s really no denying that Mark Zuckerberg , the CEO of Facebook is pretty good at what he does. Mobile usage will continue to boom over the next year so it’s important to make the Facebook user experience as engaging as ever. This is the kind of stuff that makes Facebook so successful. Zuckerberg has an uncanny ability to stay one step ahead of the game in the Social Networking world.
