Happy leapy goodness!
- I know you were all worried when Facebook’s weekly market share declined. Despite what everyone and their brother said in the comments, a new study shows that Social media is not a passing fad. And yeah, I’m happy as a user, not a marketer.
- I could have sworn this has been done before . . . Wikia Open Sources Social Networking. Oh, wait, it’s Wikia; they don’t care if it’s been done before.
- Oh, so it wasn’t an amicable divorce? IAC Ready To Drop Ask.com Search Technology & Partner With Google?
- The only surprising thing about this headline is the evenhandedness of paidContent’s coverage. Quarterlife Doesn’t Make The Broadcast Grade. Stacy Kramer, you’re great.
Get leapin!

Social media is not a good way to promote and build company reputation.

@ Mobile Guy - I think Facebook on contrary can be used to promote and build company reputation successfully. It all depends how a company uses it.

I think Facebook’s market share will continue to decline, but that’s more or less due to the increase in competition. Their market penetration is rising though.

I don’t think that social media is dying either - not yet anyway. I agree with Mike and think there’s just more competition and more choices. I think they need to think of some ways to get people to come back more often and invite more friends. Just keep adding features and see which stick.

Facebook just isn’t as user friendly as some of the other sites. I know it’s not intended to be as colorful as a myspace, but when you’re trying to network, and the picks and methods are cumbersome it can be a quick deterrent.

I dont think social media is going to die either if anything it will become stronger over time at least in the near future. There are more sites on the market now and maybe that is why the decline in Facebook.
