Wow - interesting to look through this list and discover sites I didn't know existed. # of registered users may not be reliable (Twitter for instance) so check the references to see how recent the data is. I may my have to do my part in Wikipedia world and contribute updates...

In 2007, XKCD produced a map of online communities, representing the relative size of each social network as differently-sized states. MySpace was huge, AOL smaller, and Facebook was half the size of Xanga.

Death is not something I want to think about often, but when this subject line came to my inbox I couldn't ignore it. I read the post and found it useful. Ah...the power of the subject line. Another good reminder that every word we choose can matter.

If you were dying, what would you not want to worry about? A brother's estate planning got him past mundane money issues to focus on what mattered most.

Looking at some examples of great Facebook pages and ran across this post from a few months ago in my search - contains some good tips.

This week, I want to discuss why people become fans of Facebook Pages in the first place. I'll follow that with some thoughts on what doesn't really work on Pages. After that, I'll list some things that I believe do work.

It appears that Amazon has rolled out a new social feature integrating Facebook into your recommendations. If you go your recommendations, Using Facebook Connect, Amazon will now serve you social recommendations based on information in your Facebook profile. Facebook's Platform account was just updated with a message that seems to confirm the rollout of this new feature. So when you activate the feature, you'll see a dedicated Amazon Facebook page within the recommendations section of your account. For example, you'll see the most popular books, DVDs, and more that are listed in your Friend's Facebook profile. So if you like Radiohead, you can see which one of your friends also likes the band. You'll also see upcoming birthdays and find your Facebook friends' Amazon Wish Lists more easily. And you'll get gift suggestions for your friends based on their Facebook profiles.

Earlier this week I met with Foursquare co-founder Dennis Crowley and we discussed everything from Facebook to check-in fatigues and the copycats. I have synthesized our conversation to give you a good idea of how Dennis is thinking about Foursquare, social web and geolocation.
