Facebook Games Update
For those who enjoy games on Facebook, there are more new features to be launched to make it easier to find new games and play with friends.
A new game ticker When you're playing games, you'll now see a separate stream of your friends' game activity, scores and achievements in a ticker. The best way to find new games is through friends, and now you'll have more opportunities to see what they're playing.Maybe your best friend has started playing Sims; your roommate has a new high score on PacMan; or your mom and sister have taken up Words With Friends. Simply click on a story and you can start playing the game yourself. You can now control who can see these stories for each individual app in your Settings. If you want friends to see you're playing one game but not another, you can change that. You're also able to limit visibility directly from the ticker by clicking "X" on a story to remove it. More room to play
A bigger screen for game play is also being introduced so you can have a more immersive experience. You'll begin seeing games that can expand to full screen, such as CityVille, Zoo World, Monster World, and Mystery Manor in the coming days.
If you use a lot of apps or games, you can now keep the best ones at the top of your bookmarks on your homepage. To add a new favorite, click the menu next to the bookmark. You can also rearrange, remove, and edit settings from the same menu.
Whether you like sports games, word games, strategy or classic games, they are all better when played with your friends. We hope these updates make playing games on Facebook even more fun.

Twitter Translation
Twitter celebrated its first non-English launch in April 2008 with the release of Twitter in Japanese. In November 2009, Twitter launched it’s second and third languages: Spanish and French. Last week Twitter was launched in Dutch and Indonesian, therefore now Twitter has been fully translated into eleven languages.
Dutch and Indonesian were the first languages to be fully translated by community volunteers using Twitter Translation Center. Volunteers translate twitter.com, support pages, desktop and mobile applications — everything except the Tweets. Then, a select group of the most active translators work closely with the team at Twitter to maintain localized versions of the service. Twitter community has 200,000 translators and counting. The localization process for Dutch and Indonesian took just one month. This new process will be used to translate Twitter into many more languages. Next up: Filipino and Malay. Visit the Translation Center to contribute to Twitter’s localization efforts.Read this at Twitter's Blog - It takes a community to translate Twitter

LinkedIn DON'Ts
Social Media etiquettes are as important as you behave in-person. Especially in a Professional networking site like LinkedIn, it is more important that how you expose yourself. Here are some common DON'Ts on LinkedIn, any professional networking sites in that case, which might be helpful for those who want to maintain professionalism in social media sites:
1. Do not send invites to a person whom you don't know - You lose your crebility by sending anonymous invitations and there are less chances that it will be accepted too.
2. Do not request recommendation if you don't know that person - Recommendations are by people who worked with you and appreciate your work. If you request recommendataion if he has not worked with/under/above you, it's not worth asking for.
3. Do not SPAM your LinkedIn connections with marketing email - You have a high chance of losing connections by using your connections as an email marketing list. Instead, send customized emails to your contacts on how you can help them.
4. Do not leave your profile incomplete/empty - People would like to know more about you before having a business relationship with you. Only some people will contact you and ask more details about you and many people just ignore and move to the next provider.
5. Do not create duplicate accounts by accepting invitations from your email address or by any other way - Having duplicate accounts will create a confusion and miscommunication.
6. Do not make your email address publicly visible to all in your profile - Though you are on a professional networking site, making your email address publicly visible makes you a target for mass email marketing.
7. Do not keep your account idle - People don't want to have business who is inactive on a professional networking sites. Be active by participating in Q&A, groups & discussions, adding connections, etc.,
8. Do not give access to send LinkedIn invitation to all your email contacts - This makes your contacts on email think you as a spammer. Send sellective emails to your contacts and let them know that you've sent LinkedIn invitation.
9. Do not connect your Twitter account to your LinkedIn - Some people might disagree with this but the purpose of Twitter and LinkedIn are different altogether.
There are more that can be added to this. Please post them as comments below. Also keep checking back our blog or subscribe by email and get yourself updated.

Google Social Networking
Google+ is the new social networking site by Google which can be a competitor to Facebook. Google+ is adding some new stuff to make sharing online more like sharing in real life. Some of the first key features include:
- Circles
- Hangouts
- Instant Upload
- Sparks
- Huddle
Circles
Circles help sharing the right stuff with the right people. Circles makes it easy to put your friends from Saturday night in one circle, your parents in another, and your boss in a circle by himself - just like real life.
Hangouts
With Hangouts, the unplanned meet-up comes to the web for the first time. Let specific buddies (or entire circles) know you’re hanging out and then see who drops by for a face-to-face chat. Until teleportation arrives, it’s the next best thing.
Instant UploadWith Instant Upload, your photos and videos upload themselves automatically, to a private album on Google+. All you have to do is decide who to share them with.
SparksTell Sparks what you’re into and it will send you stuff it thinks you’ll like, so when you’re free, there’s always something cool to watch, read, or share. A feed of only the things that you're really into, so when you're free, there's always something waiting to be watched, read or shared.
HuddleHuddle turns all those different conversations into one simple group chat, so everyone gets on the same page all at once. Your thumbs will thank you.
Will Google+ stand out of the herd and be a competitor(threat) to Facebook and overtake it? Let’s wait and watch. Also post your thoughts as comments below.
