Abstract:
Tumblr, Facebook, Twitter, whatever you use, you probably has a lot of strangers, or people you know, but don't expect them to follow/connect with you, as your 'friends' now.
That's the problem of today's social network, you don't have a good control about your cycle as you do in everyday life.
现在的社交网络，功能不可谓不强大，但看到身边很多有影响力的人士，并不使用。少数宁可使用Linkedin,更多的则是什么都不用，不写博客没看过微博更不用说人人非死不可，只用邮件。（很多‘长’可能连邮件都不用吧）
为什么呢？因为，社交网络不符合他们的社交，没有解决他们的问题。Email解决了他们通讯速度的问题，社交网络却只带来了无法控制的圈子，大堆陌生人，大堆认识但并不像搭理，或不想让他们近距离接触的熟人。那么，不需要无谓传播渠道的人，又何必费力不讨好地来网络社交呢？
解决方案1：单独开发圈子社交，这个有点像世纪佳缘的VIP线下服务，或者一些所谓的模特网，不遵循所谓的六度空间理论，只照顾小圈子
解决方案2：在现有社交网上开发面具插件。用户可以戴上插件面具，只有通过小圈子（面具主人主动邀请）的认证后，才算真正进入对方的社交圈，可以看到面具后的真人。
实际上我们已经可以看到一些雏形

Google is copying social media giants?
Google decides Orkut would not make them contend. The way they express their concern and to make even? Add a like button to search results.
This is called collaborative filtering, which has been widely used by Amazon and many other E-commerce.

Google Irritates Britain, Ireland, and... US for tax avoidance of 4.6 billion
It has been reported and widely discussed: Google is not contend with the 12.5% tax rate in Ireland (after avoiding the 28% corporate tax in the UK)
They have again transferred the profit to Bermuda, where there is no tax for the category Google claimed the revenue is from. In order to do this, they setup complicated Dutch companies to do the transfer and avoiding detection by Irish laws.
Result? Google transfered 3.2 billion pounds almost without a slice to tax man, to its Bermuda heaven. Yes, that is $ 4,600,000,000 for the past few years

Googling or Facebooking
Facebook is no. 1 now.
I am not talking about traffic in bytes. Active facebook users spend 1400 minutes per month on the social media site, contributing content, interact with their friends and connections. That's a lot more comparing to the time they spend interacting than any other websites.
However, for the active 500 million Facebook users, do they use Google or do they use Facebook if they need to find information on the web? Most people I know use Google
They have a new choice now: Bing

After Google Translate API shutdown, shall we switch to M$
People may understand why they want to encapsulate Andriod, but what if Google want to shut down many popular APIs? This 'spring cleaning' has been scheduled.
Some has been destined to close (nobody knows when is the last day...)
These have specific date of execution set already:
- Blog Search API
- Books Data API
- Books JavaScript APIImage Search API
- News Search API
- Patent Search API
- Safe Browsing API
- Translate API
- Transliterate API
- Video Search API
- Virtual Keyboard API
Shall we switch to Micro$soft ? Microsoft APIs support SOAP, HTTP and Ajax, one more reason, Microsoft(nasdaq:msft) has enough cash...

Increasr, another social traffic exchange? Or crazy economic system with inflation?
There are hundreds if not thousands of link exchange platform now. But this one is different from Tweepi or Twiends .
It doesn't reduce points when doing the exchange, unlike most major exchanges.
Will be interesting to see how this goes!

Big part of Chinese social media research.
You can not talk about social media in China without mentioning GFW (Great Firewall)
There are some interesting articles in Chinese discussed the influence of GFW and some affected websites:

http://www.managershare.com/2011/01/21/how-to-gain-competitive-insight-with-social-media/
Basically if GFW selected you, it is an endorsement and proves you are quite influential. And if it allows you to be visited by 1.5 billion people again, it means you are even more powerful and they can not simply block you. They have to selectively block part of you (Wikipedia was blocked from around 2003 to 2009, and Chinese now can access most part of it, their connection will only be reset if a political incorrect term or sensitive words is being accessed)
