New design for twitter profiles

Ateneo Innovation and Entrepreneurship

From Huffpost Tech by Dino Grandoni

Twitter redesigned its profiles by putting pictures ahead.  The user now more control on how the page looks like.  It looks like Facebook now.

I am just wondering whether the profile pics can contain ads.

The redesign come only after Twitter's redesign last year.

The post compares the old and new twitter.

Facebook Likes Linked to Political Affiliation
By InvestorPolitics
Researchers at Engage have crunched the data and found out something interesting about the web sites people "like" on Facebook (NASDAQ:FB): knowing what sites a person likes gives them a clue about their political affiliation.
By using a special piece of software, Engage was able to track thousands of users' Likes, political affiliation, and behavior — whether or not a person showed a high or low level of political engagement.
What are some of the things they've discovered?

The most engaged Mitt Romney supporters like eBay

Fans of eBay (NASDAQ:EBAY) were the most likely to support Romney, and the most likely to do so at a high level of political engagement. Another web site whose fans were likely to be rabid Romney backers was eBay subsidiary PayPal.

The most engaged Barack Obama supporters like BuzzFeed

What's BuzzFeed, you ask? Billed as "The Viral Web In Real Time", BuzzFeed serves as an aggregator of web content that has gone viral. Its fans were deemed the most likely to support Obama among those who were highly engaged.

xkcd fans love Obama

The popular stick figure comic's fans are the most likely to be Obama supporters. However, Engage scored them as having a low level of political engagement. Also popular among minimally engaged Facebook users who support Obama were social news site Reddit and handmade e-commerce site Etsy.

Liberal and conservative search engines

Fans of Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) were more likely to support Obama, and more likely to be engaged politically than fans of Microsoft's (NASDAQ:MSFT) Bing search engine.
Angry Birds For Obama, Farmville for Romney
Fans of Zynga's (NASDAQ:ZNGA) popular social game Farmville are strongly likely to be Romney supporters, while Angry Birds fans are just slightly more likely to be Obama backers. Both groups of fans have a low level of political engagement, however. Perhaps they're too busy playing to discuss politics?

Amazon for conservatives, Zappos for liberals

Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) fans lean Romney, while fans of Amazon subsidiary Zappos prefer Obama. Zappos fans seem to be slightly more engaged then their Amazon brethren.

Facebook fans are centrists

The web site with the largest number of fans on Facebook — Facebook itself — also appears to have the most centrist group of fans. Facebook sits right in the middle, with no real preference in presidential candidate, and a medium level of political engagement.

Will Facebook end just like Yahoo?

Ateneo Innovation and Entrepreneurship "New ideas create more and better new products and services; create more wealth."

                       


Facebook shares are now at $25.68 (Tuesday) 32% off its initial IPO price of $38.00.  With it comes a number of possible lawsuits.

Erick Jackson of Ironside Capital remarked that Facebook will lose its dominance in social media in l0 years.  It will go by way of Yahoo.  Yahoo still makes money but it has lost its presence.

              

He said that Facebook is unable to keep pace with mobile technology and this latest IPO debacle.

The proposed strategy is to make facebook available to children below 13.

Do you agree with Erick Jackson?

What can you suggest to facebook to revive its sagging fortunes?

Former Entrep Student Thanks me for her Successful Strama Defense

 Yesterday, I got a text message from a former student in one of the AGSB satellite campuses.  She was extremely happy for she got a lot of compliments from her defense panelists and she thanked me profusely.  I was wondering why.

Did this subject train her to work hard for the strama?  Did she utilize the tools from this subject for her subject?  Or was she simply a passionate and intelligent student.  Whatever it is congratulations and God bless you for being grateful.

Another entrep student just texted and thanked me today, Dec. l, 2011 also thanking me.  Yes, she had to work hard for her business plan but she passed the strama defense without revision.  (Her panelist is known for failing the strama presentor)  I am proud of them, if indeed, the training they got from entrep class/subject disciplined them to be good business writer and strategist.  I requested them to post this at facebook and/or blogsend to me.

Thank you for your kind words.  From his blog
