I'm finding that StumbleUpon has been the most effective social button on the site. I've been consistently sharing my blog entires on StumbleUpon and other content sharing sites like Digg, Reddit, Twitter, Linkedin, +1, Facebook, and maybe a couple other ones. It's mostly a waste of time except for StumbleUpon.
Senh: There's nothing much you can do about that. They got in early and contributed when it counted most. It's not fair to current employees of Zynga, but they're also not risking as much as the early group of people.
Senh: I agree with most of what the article says about Google+ because, unlike Forbes, I actually tried it out. And early on, I found that I have no use for it. It became a ghost town within a month. The only stuff there now are people's twitter feeds. The only thing that I'm using it for now is to +1 Wopular's articles for SEO. I'll probably also create a Wopular page, but I'm not sure how effective it'll be when no one's actually using it.
Senh: Heh, they making an alliance against Google and Facebook.
Senh: I don't think he should speak so condescendingly of Google+. Sure, I don't really believe it since my friends have pretty much abandoned it like Google Buzz. People initially didn't think much of Chrome's impact on the browser wars either, but it's now tied with Firefox as the second most used web browser. You just gotta be careful when Google decides to focus on something.
Senh: Speaking of which, I should replace Google Buzz with Google+. And now, add a Google+ Page for Wopular. With Google+, +1, and now Pages, it could still post a potential threat to Facebook. The only problem is most of my tech friends have stopped using Google+, so I'm sure how long this product will last before getting the ax, like Buzz.
Senh: I didn't know Mark Zuckerberg's sister also works in the company. That's pretty cool. I bet she's tired of her little brother ordering her around.
Senh: This doesn't mean that people with more Facebook friends are smarter than the rest of the population. It's the part of the brain that deals with social interaction. It also doesn't mean that if you add more friends, that area of the brain will grow bigger. They can't tell yet. All they could tell is that area of the brain is bigger for people with a lot of Facebook friends.
