Twitter Launches Major Redesign [VIDEO]
One main thrust of the redesign is making “Twitter more accessible for all 7 billion people on the planet,” Jack Dorsey, chairman of Twitter, said during a press conference at Twitter’s soon-to-be new headquarters in San Francisco on Thursday. Dorsey added that the company has made it “simpler not just for people already engaged but easier for new people to discover it and find value in it. It’s the best place to represent yourself on the Internet.”

via mashable.com
Facebook's new Timeline is being launched very soon so there will be lots of talk about the changes. Remember that they are equating this to a scrapbook of your life.
On your personal profile you will be able to literally see all the activity that you are allowing to be shared with Facebook and most likely the public.
We encourage you to check your privacy settings and use only one browser for Facebook. You private online activity should be performed in a different browser to ensure those items are not shared with Facebook.
From a professional perspective you'll want to share who you are and your value system to attract the clients that share the same.
It's going to be interesting to see the reactions to this via the Social Media sites on the Internet. Feel free to share your thoughts with us.

The changes are coming regularly with Google these days. What do you think of their new Google bar?
Great synopsis of the Google+ presentation at CrushIQ
14 Things you learn about Google+ from Tae
Live from CrushIQ
Carter Gibson - 16 Nov 2011 (edited) - Public
Right after +Daria Musk took the stage, +Tae E. Kim had a great presentation today at CrushIQ and the Q&A really shed some light on some questions I've heard you guys asking around. Here's everything I was able to glean from him. Some are obvious and others provide a definitive answer about the more philosophical parts of Google+. Enjoy!
1) In 6 months Google+ is going to look like a different product as it integrates with other Google poducts
2) Multiple administrators for brand pages coming in Q1 2012
3) Viewing some circles and not others is probably coming as more circle management tools are integrated (Katango anyone?)
4) It was intentional to accomplish meeting new people and connecting you with the people you know. Google will be happy when it does both
5) To be a verified brand you need to put the G+ badge on your website and a lot of followers. Google will do the rest.
6) Google isn't going to wait for a product to be fully baked before releasing because if they did it would stifle innovation (thats why it's the Google+ project not product)
7) AdWords is coming to Google+ but monetizing is not a priority now, will use Ripples
8) 100% functionality is a main goal for mobile
9) Mobile iPhone app doesn't have all Android functionality? Get an Android. More seriously Google has limited resources and will update iPhone as soon as they can after Android
10) Social media was diluted in Reader to integrate with g+
11) Search with a "+" Google to find pages or people
12) Dont call your circle of Google products "Google Brand Pages" call it "Google Product Updates"
13) What to tell your boss to get a company G+ page? Everyone uses Google. It makes sense.
14) Over 250 companies have brand pages that google helped with, growing every day
Questions about Google+. We've been listening and watching and found this great synopsis of the most frequently asked questions. Please feel free to ask questions and how this social media site affects your internet presence.
