Staggering numbers:

Social media 126 million – The number of blogs on the Internet (as tracked by BlogPulse). 84% – Percent of social network sites with more women than men. 27.3 million – Number of tweets on Twitter per day (November, 2009) 57% – Percentage of Twitter’s user base located in the United States. 4.25 million – People following @aplusk (Ashton Kutcher, Twitter’s most followed user). 350 million – People on Facebook. 50% – Percentage of Facebook users that log in every day. 500,000 – The number of active Facebook applications.

I spent the morning setting up both: Slinkset: http://news.ryanspoon.com Pligg: http://www.rankible.com

There are benefits to both - namely, Pligg is more robust... but I actually quite like the layout of Slinkset better.

A couple questions about slinkset though for Brett -

1. Can I remove / edit feeds? 2. I really want to be able to add AdSense and would gladly rotate in a % for you... 3. I want better customization of the header / footer

Thoughts?

The point of the article is more around the value of the subscription business - particularly in economic down turns. I think the demise of physical discs is a longer term theme... but the demise of purchasing those assets is near term. Netflix helps there.

I meant changing color - maybe adding an icon. But making it public as well (not just private). So if you are on a post that a top user makes, you see his color header.
