| CNN launches #COP17 Twitter data visualisation tool | | @gordonmacmillan | | 29 November 2011, 3:10PM |  This is really pretty cool. CNN has launched a great Twitter data visualization tool called 'Ecosphere' in support of the COP17 climate change conference in Durban, which starts this week.
The site picks up every tweet tagged with the #COP17 hashtag and uses them to stimulate growth in a plant or tree in the Ecosphere that represents a certain topic, such as sustainability. | | | | Private equity firm mulls $5bn bid for Yahoo! | | Polly Becker | | 29 November 2011, 3:05PM |  Reuters is reporting that Boston based private equity firm, Thomas H Lee Partners, is interested in buying the US operations of Yahoo!.

On Twitter Lady Gaga has more than 16 million followers. She isn't on Google+ yet, but Britney Spears is and she has just passed Google CEO Larry Page to become the most followed person with more than three quarter of a million fans. | | | | Aussies prefer facebook to sex (and are not connecting with your brand on fb) | | Chris J Reed | | 29 November 2011, 10:05AM |  Aussies not on social media..... Aussies really do prefer social email to sex and are completely addicted to it - social media that is not sex??according to a new survey. The survey revealed that some Australians will stop whatever it is they are doing - even sex - to respond to a Facebook update or a tweet. That's very sad. | | | | Delta get social media, Qantas don't | | Chris J Reed | | 29 November 2011, 10:02AM |  Delta got to grips with social media problem in a way that Qantas wished they had Delta have recently done an amazing job in dealing with a potential social media problem in a way that Qantas wish they had. | | | | Facebook Timeline - a game changer for social media? | | Mark Rock | | 28 November 2011, 2:56PM |  Several years ago I grudgingly set up a Facebook account, joining an online community that now has over 800 million users across the world. I've never been Facebook's number one fan - I use it minimally and mainly to not-so-subtly spy on my 16 year old son, to make sure he's behaving himself as much as possible.
| | | | The cashless generation: PayPal predicts digital money shopping in 2016 | | Dan Leahul | | 28 November 2011, 11:00AM |  You won't need your wallet to go shopping on UK high streets in 2016, according to a new report by PayPal.
Yup, in four year's time, UK shoppers will be able to use their mobile phones to pay for things with digital money rather than cash or cards. | | | | Most kids graduate to mainstream social networks at 11 | | Polly Becker | | 28 November 2011, 10:00AM |  We all know kids grow up fast, but online digital maturity is coming even faster. By the time they are eleven, a majority of kids in the West have graduated onto mainstream social networks like Facebook and Twitter.
| | | | 10 trends in social media: from destination social to dispersed social | | @gordonmacmillan | | 25 November 2011, 11:58AM |  Interesting presentation here from the Social Practice which has put together a particularly good list of ten trends in social media.
It ranges from the rise of the social algorithm, and how we are on the road to a better social web through, via better data, smarter algorithms and social media ubiquity, to social shopping, the changing face of location and the (slow rise) of social business. | | | | The X Factor: Social media and the live shows - Week 7 [infographic] | | Rachel Hawkes | | 25 November 2011, 10:33AM |  ? Have viewing figures dropped again this week?
? Can Little Mix be the first band to win?
? Is it a Marcus, Amelia Lily and Little Mix final?
Back in Week 3, I wrote about how Craig may be what I called a 'performance based' contestant, in that the strength of his performances rather than fan loyalty determined whether he was safe to continue through the shows. For Week 7, we saw Craig criticised rather heavily for having the wrong song choice. It seems that, along with being the first to sing (therefore not being fresh in people's minds by the time the voting opens) was a deadly combination for the young Liverpudlian singer as he was booted off the show in the series first Deadlock situation. | | | | | | Latest jobs | | | Account Director | | Recruiter Digital Gurus | | Salary £50000 - £55000 per annum | | Location London | | | | |  | | |
