Further investments for Snapchat
Last month, a huge public attention was drawn when a successful start-up Snapchat made a decision to refuse billions from Google and Facebook and stay, at least for now, in the hands of its founder, who are students at Stanford.
Snapchat turns down Facebook once again
According to information from the Wall Street Journal, Snapchat once again rejected Facebook's bid. Although this time they offered three times higher price, it did not make any difference.
Twitter enters the stock market
Twitter, the popular microblogging service, during Thursday at 11 a.m. by the local time began public trading of its shares. Trade takes place on the New York Stock Exchange, under the symbol TWTR.
Unique Google+ URL for everyone, well almost everyone
From this week, Google introduced a novelty on its social network Google+, which is on the other networks like Twitter or Facebook known for a long time. Specifically, (almost) all users will be able to choose your own unique URL that leads to their profile in the format http://plus.google.com/username.
Google changes policy to allow them to use your images in their endorsed ads...
Although Google is probably the leader in internet advertising they are now taking their cues from Facebook. According to Google’s new terms and conditions they are giving themselves the rights to any images you post for advertisements. After Facebook’s recent slap on the wrist for illegally using the images of their users for advertising Facebook used the ruling to make important changes to their data usage policy which ensured they would still be able to use the data they wanted. It would seem that others were looking into this and are now making changes to follow Facebook’s lead.
Twitter purchased MoPub

Facebook employees handle complaints 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Facebook’s Usage Policy Makes Some A Little Concerned
It’s been said that if you have something that you don’t want the entire world to hear, don’t say it online. In today’s world, online privacy is a vanishing commodity and perhaps nowhere is that privacy more at risk than Facebook. When you combine a site that contains personal information on over one billion people with the highest traffic of any site on the Internet (sorry, Google), concerns are bound to rise. The latest privacy issue to come to public attention is facial recognition, specifically in Europe.
