You may have heard the term ‘Facebook is serious business’. Originally meant as a joke, it sure isn’t anymore; social networks like Facebook and Twitter are becoming the backbone of communication for human beings as a whole, even surpassing phones in their usefulness. But nobody wants a sore backbone, right? Don’t answer that. Let’s rap for a minute. I needn’t remind everyone reading this, again, that I’m a Twitter fanatic. I’ve got the apps, I schmooze with celebrities (or at the very least, those I equate as ‘famous’), and I tweet useless information as mundane as the next guy’s. Yep, Twitter…

Some may affectionately know LinkedIn as “Facebook for suits” in some quarters, but somehow the service has managed to keep growing within its business and professionally-focused segment.

Bebo is owned by AOL but the company is in talks of whether or not they should sell the site and end their involvement entirely. Bebo reached it’s highest peak of popularity in 2008 and has slowly been plummeting since then. I’m an avid social-networker and I have to admit that I’ve rarely heard of Bebo. Flashy sites like Facebook and Twitter have sucked me in with their chat options and sleek new designs. According to this article, Bebo was the second largest social-networking site…

It looks like the iPhone, already a kind of digital swiss army knife, will someday have walkie-talkie capabilities and be able to serve as a kind of spontaneous hub where information can be sent automatically to everyone in the group.
