			An in-depth look at Facebook user behavior reveals some interesting trends among this more than 800- million constituency: One, Facebook users tend to receive more from the Facebook friends than they give out; two, there is a solid core of users that are very active on the site. The Pew Research Center's report on the subject is based on data mined from the server logs of Facebook activity and survey data that explores the structure of Facebook friendship networks and measures of social well-being.

			Twitter is on the defensive over its new tweet-filtering policy, which it considers a progressive, forward-looking approach to complying with local laws around the globe. Speaking at Dive Into Media Monday night, Twitter CEO Dick Costolo characterized the changes as a way to ensure that more people see tweets. "There's been no change in our stance or attitude or policy with respect to content on Twitter," he said. "It is simply not the case that you can operate in these countries and choose which of the laws you want to abide by."

			Twitter announced on Thursday that it can now withhold content from users country by country on demand, while still making that content available to the rest of the world. The news sparked widespread anger as critics accused the microblogging service of censorship and warned that the policy might impede popular anti-government movements such as those seen during the Arab Spring, which toppled several dictatorial governments in the Middle East last year. "This does appear to constitute censorship," Yasha Heidari, managing partner at the Heidari Power Law Group, told TechNewsWorld.

			The FBI wants to keep its eye on social media users, according to a job post that invites software developers to submit applications capable of mining through sites such as Twitter and Facebook to identify possible threats. The post can be found on FedBizOpps.gov. The bureau has a detailed list of requirements for the app, which it says would only sift through "publicly available" material. The app would have a variety of targets, including cybercrime and terrorism.

			Google is incorporating its social network, Google+, in just about every part of its online empire -- including, most recently, its Gmail system. Now, new users who want a Gmail account must also sign up for Google+. It's not necessarily a novel move for Google. The company has been integrating its products for years, from Picasa to YouTube to Blogger to perhaps its most popular productivity tool, Gmail. However, its efforts to increase its Google+ user base via Gmail might prove grating to some users who are particularly sensitive about privacy.

			Do you like to garden? Share coupons? How about bike riding? If so, there's an app for that -- on Facebook, that is -- or soon will be. As promised at last year's f8 developer conference, Facebook rolled out about 60 new apps to be used on its site this week. They are designed for users to express more precisely how they are interacting with content on Facebook by introducing new verbs to join Facebook's "Like" button. What this means is that a Facebook user who previously could only "Like" the book <em>The Help</em>, now can proclaim having "Read" it.

			Facebook is enhancing its music listening options by launching Listening With Friends, a feature that will let Facebook friends listen to music together via chat. As the feature rolls out to all of Facebook's 800 million users over the next few weeks, a music note will appear next to a user's name in the chat list if he or she is listening to a song. If other users want to listen in, they can hover over the other user's name and click a 'Listen With' button. Then, that user will be taken to the music server that's playing the song.

			Facebook will be among the Internet services that can be accessed in new car models from Mercedes Benz. Facebook access is just one of the new features in the second generation telematics system, called "Mbrace2," which will begin appearing in new Mercedes models this spring. Introduced at CES 2012 in Las Vegas Tuesday, Mbrace2 will connect to the Internet through any 3G network and runs apps tailored for it by the car maker. In addition to a Mercedes flavor of Facebook, Mbrace2 offers access to Google and Yelp, as well as the viewing of information like stock prices and news.

Twitter had apparently verified the account, "Wendi_Deng," as genuine, but after being informed it was a hoax, quickly removed it and apologized to Deng. There have been other such incidents in the past -- notably in 2010, when a spoofer sent out mocking tweets under BP's name, @BPGlobalPR, during the height of the oil spill crisis in the Gulf of Mexico.

			A group of mathematicians turned to Twitter to gauge global happiness for 2011, and it seems the last 12 months have not been humanity's cheeriest.  The team from the University of Vermont gathered 4.6 billion Twitter messages from Twitter's 33 million users from around the world. Starting in September 2008, the mathematicians, led by Peter Dodds, assigned happiness grades to more than 10,000 common words with the help of volunteers who judged the words on a scale of 1 to 9. So a word such as "laughter" got an 8.5 and "food" had a 7.44 score. A word such as "terrorist" scored 1.3.

			Facebook recently began rolling out its Timeline feature, which will replace the social networking site's traditional user profile. Everything ever posted on a user's page will be included in Timeline. Members have seven days to review everything that appears on their Timelines before anyone else can see them, and Facebook lets them mark which items they want to keep private. However, the feature has raised concerns that it might breach users' privacy because Facebook will upgrade everyone to Timeline -- whether or not they opt for it.

			Facebook has teamed up with the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline to help bring emergency counseling services to members in need. The partnership aims to provide Facebook with the ability to spot comments or material users post that could be indications of severe distress. If another user sees worrying content posted by a friend, that user will then have the option to click on a "suicidal content" label, listed under the "harmful behavior" menu.

			Google+Photos is adding facial recognition technology that will let users be tagged automatically in photos. To pre-empt privacy concerns, Google has made the feature opt-in, said Matt Steiner, engineering lead on the Google+ Photos team. For it to work, the user must turn on the new "Find My Face" feature in the Google+ settings. Then, Google+ prompts friends and other contacts to tag the user's face whenever it appears in photos. The feature gives the user control over which tags are accepted or rejected.

			Twitter has updated its site and dramatically streamlined its user interface with an eye to attracting new users -- not to mention brands. The new look is based on tabbed sections where users can spruce up their profiles and better organize their content. Businesses get the same privilege, with the rollout of  pages that let them create "an even more compelling destination on Twitter," the company said. The new design is being rolled out both on Twitter.com and mobile devices, and TweetDeck has been updated for compatibility.

			Six degrees of separation may be good enough for most people, but for Facebook members, it's only 4.74 degrees, according to a study conducted jointly by the social networking giant and the University of Milan. Conducted earlier this year, the study examined all 721 million active Facebook users, who had 69 billion friendships among them, Facebook said. Whether the conclusions of the study might be off-base is open to debate. "Obviously the study is only valid for the part of the population that is on Facebook," said UCSD's James H. Fowler.

			With a slew of new features and integration with Google Apps, Google+ is now available to businesses, universities, and schools that use Google Apps. The point behind the upgrades is to continue to drive traffic to the fledgling network and fight the feature wars with other social networks, said Gabe Donnini, lead analyst at Chitika. "By integrating its popular services into Google+, Google hopes to see its users increase. It also realizes it has to keep on matching what Twitter and Facebook and LinkedIn offer their users -- although in just one network."

			The creators of a new social network are challenging users to ditch Facebook and other networks to "unthink" and de-clutter with their new, completely user-controlled and private network. Unthink.com, launched Tuesday in beta, hopes to capitalize on growing discontent among social network users for support. The site displays various videos outlining its manifestos and the reasoning behind Unthink. One tells the site's creation story, wherein Unthink founder Natasha Dedis read Facebook's terms of service after her young son came to her asking to join.

			Facebook's Timeline feature has been a focus of controversy since it was announced by CEO Mark Zuckerberg at the company's f8 developers' conference last month in San Francisco. Privacy advocates immediately raised concerns. A coalition of 10 privacy and consumer groups has written to the Federal Trade Commission pointing out the security and privacy risks posed by Facebook features like Timeline. Security experts have also reportedly warned that the wealth of data put out on Timeline will be very useful to stalkers and cybercriminals.
