It’s almost impossible to avoid social networking nowadays. Many web hosting users will undoubtedly be using them, whether for personal use or business projects.

They are, of course, not the only ones. Facebook has just announced that its user base has hit 350 million users across the globe.

This huge amount of users may be a result of Facebook’s "more generic audience" in comparison to other social networking sites. He explained: "Broader social networks do offer greater breadth and depth due to what they are and what is provided to their audiences."

Other services cater for different markets, he pointed out. For example, Myspace, is more focused on entertainment, lifestyle and music, and Twitter "thrives on real-time conversations that can cater for broad subject matter and appeal".

Now that it has such a vast user base, Facebook needs to take privacy into account, especially considering the amount of data on the social networking site. This enables companies to carry out "profiling and research" and this may be "risky" for those firms that debate and champion privacy issues.

So what are companies doing with social media to promote themselves? Econsultancy’s Social Media and Online PR Report recently showed that nearly two-thirds (64 per cent) of firms covered by the study had experimented with social media but had not done much.

Micro-blogging is now the most widely-used social media tactic among companies and is used by more than three-quarters (78 per cent) of firm respondents.

However, others are not jumping on the bandwagon, with a third of respondents (31 per cent) not spending any of their budget on social media.

Web hosting users can benefit from social media campaigns, especially if they are handled correctly. With proper management, such projects can bring many rewards and could give them an advantage over others.

Social Networking Sites Reveal One’s True Personality

Social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter reveal one's true personality. It is surprising to know that though people use their profiles to promote an enhanced impression of themselves, most of them can not maintain their image and eventually start showing their true self.

Buzz up!
The social networking profiles expose accurate personality of the profile owners, either because people don't try to look good or because they do try but fail to maintain their fake personalities.

Such networking sites are just another medium for engaging in genuine social interactions, much like the telephone.

The social networking profiles expose accurate personality of the profile owners.

To reach the conclusion, a survey was conducted where 236 profiles of college students from the United States and Germany were analysed. The researchers used questionnaires to assess the profile owners' true personality as well as their ideal personality traits.

The personality that was evident from each of their networking sites matched to their actual personality traits revealed by the questionnaire. The profiles were not affected by the profile owner’s ideal personality.

Google upgrades search engine with real-time results

BEIJING, Dec. 8 (Xinhuanet) -- Google has upgraded its search engine with its search results with data updated in seconds of time in social networking websites like Twitter, according to news reports on Tuesday.

As social networking websites are gradually getting popular and are playing a significance role in the modern Web 2.0 technology world, Google certainly would not just sit aside and do nothing.

Underscoring the importance of these community websites, Google has begun to increase its competitiveness in Internet search business with agreements signed with Twitter, let alone its long-time competitor has already signed such agreements with Twitter and Facebook in October this year.

As part of its much-anticipated entrance into the field known as real-time search, Google said that over the next few days its users would begin seeing brand-new Tweets, blog items, news stories and social networking updates in the results for certain topical searches.

According to the New York Times, for example, a search for "Copenhagen" on Google, produces the standard web results, but with a box in the middle of the page where blog items and Tweets scroll past. It updates every few seconds. A Tweet from a particular person, referencing the climate talks that began on Monday, read, "It's snowing in North Beach. Explain that, Copenhagen."
