The Internet Justice League [Pics]

So what would the social networking giants of the internet look like if they were the Justice League? College Humor has answered that question:

Google is Superman
Facebook is Batman
Reddit is Green Arrow
Amazon is Green Lantern
Huffington Post is Wonder Woman
Google+ is Aquaman

Use the following link to get a better look at the pictures and read why they were matched that way. It's hilarious and spot on.. Unfortunately Twitter is missing. I'd match Twitter to Hawkgirl.

Map of Online Communities [infographic]

What if all of social networking communities were represented as continents on a map, based on the number of members? In 2010, it would have looked like this:

Viddler.com - Don Draper Presents Facebook Timeline - Uploaded by eleist

Image representing Facebook as depicted in Cru...Image via CrunchBase
This is one of the slickest marketing videos I have ever seen. It's a scene from the Television show Mad Men about advertiser executives in the 1960s and one of the characters makes an impassioned speech on behalf of his product and profession. The scenes are replaced with video of Facebook's new Timeline feature. It's amazing. I admit I like Timeline having tried it out early. People, Facebook is not dead yet.




And here is a more official video explaining the service

I'm Glad We Didn't Have Facebook or Twitter on 9/11 - Technology - GOOD

Coord Jefferson has posted a great article about why he's glad the was no Facebook or Twitter 10 years ago. I think he makes some valid points. He wrote:

That’s the real problem with attempting to make sense of 9/11 using social media: The former requires deep thought while the latter feeds on immediacy. Ten years and millions of articles after 9/11, we’re still trying to come to terms with what happened that day. We’re still sifting through the debris and our collective emotions in order to find whatever it is we lost, or to explain why things are the way they are now. I have a hard time believing 9/11 tweets or Facebook updates would have changed any of that for the better. And by now they’d be forgotten anyway, buried under 10 years of more shouting into the abyss.


Check out the whole article.
