Google+ Has Over 20 Million Users.


ComScore said Google+ has got more than 20 million users, including 5 million users in the U.S., in the first 3 weeks since the search engine launched the social network as an alternative to Facebook Inc.
The Researcher estimates from unique visitors who arrived at Google+ from June 29 through July 19, said Andrew Lipsman, vice president of industry analysis at ComScore.

"As of July 19, ComScore showed Google+ at just about 20 million users worldwide, an extraordinary number in just its first 3 weeks," Lipsman said, adding that the figure represents an increase of 82 percent from the previous week and 561 percent vs. 2 weeks prior."
The Google Plus (+) U.S. audience paced the field, surpassing 5 million users, up 81 percent from the previous week and 723 percent from 2 weeks earlier.
But Google Plus (+) global growth is impressive to Lipsman, who noted that while the U.S. leads in Google Plus (+) audience, India is No. 2 with 2.8 million users. The U.K. has (867,000 users), Canada (859,000 users) and Germany (706,000 users) rounded out the top 5.
The Google Plus (+) numbers could be even greater because ComScore didn't count visitors from mobile phones. Lipsman said he excluded visits from iPhone and Android smartphone users, limiting estimates to those who navigated to plus.google.com pages from home and work computers.

Vic Gundotra, Google's vice president of engineering overseeing Google Plus (+), said in response to Search Engine Land Editor Danny Sullivan's open letter on Google Plus (+): "We should have already predicted brands and people who want a following would be very frustrated when we didn't have proper profile support."

"Your enthusiasm obligates us to do more to get businesses involved in Google+ in the right way, and we have to do it faster," Oestlein acknowledged. "As a result, we have refocused a few priorities, and we expect to have an initial version of businesses profiles up and running for everyone in the next few months."

Facebook Launches Bug Finding Program


On Friday 29 July, social networking giant Facebook Inc. announced a program that pays people to find holes in its security system. Compensation will start at $500 and so far, no financial ceiling has been set.
You must be the first person to report a specific bug; no bounties for an error are given out twice. Facebook notes that some who submitted security errors in the past — who received little compensation other than maybe a t-shirt — were brought on to the Facebook security team.

In Facebook’s typical menacing-and-friendly-at-the-same-time sort of way, the company states, “If you give us a reasonable time to respond to your report before making any information public and make a good faith effort to avoid privacy violations, destruction of data and interruption or degradation of our service during your research, we will not bring any lawsuit against you or ask law enforcement to investigate you.”

“Typically, it’s no longer than a day” to fix a bug, Facebook Chief Security Officer Joe Sullivan told Cnet in a conference call. Only participants who legally agree to Facebook’s Responsible Disclosure Policy (which states that they will not publish or make available any of their findings), will be allowed to participate.

Facebook has said that it will allow registered researchers, as they are being called, to set up test accounts so they don’t have to worry about their own when going to work. Also, there are exceptions to what Facebook will pay for: Security bugs in third-party apps, third-party websites that integrate with Facebook, Facebook’ corporate infrastructure, denial of service vulnerabilities and spam or social-engineering techniques or methods are all excluded or will not be treated.

Facebook Beats Google As The Most Commonly Typed Domain In The Address Bar


"Facebook.com" is by far the most common URL that people type into the address bar of their internet browser. People are typing "facebook.com" almost three times more often than "google.com."
Facebook.com is the most popular domain and accounts for 9 percent of all typed domains. Google.com is the second most typed address and accounts for 3.3 percent of all typed domains.

Youtube.com, gmail.com, twitter.com, mail.google.com, yahoo.com, hotmail.com, amazon.com also feature in the top ten most typed domains according to Finke.

According to website traffic monitoring company Alexa, the top 10 websites on the web by the amount of traffic they receive are, in order: Google, Facebook, Youtube, Yahoo, Live, Baidu, Wikipedia, Blogger, MSN and Tencent.

Finke notes in the comments on his blog that while "All of Facebook's properties (*.facebook.com) combine [to make up] 9.4% [of all typed domains]; all of Google's (*.google.com, YouTube, Blogspot, etc.) combine for at least 9.7%."
Not surprisingly, people often make mistakes when entering addresses into their URL bar and end up with all kinds of typos. Frequent variations on the top level domain ".com" include .com\, .ocm, .con, .cmo, .copm, .xom, ".com,", .vom, .comn, .com', ".co,", .comj, .coim, .cpm, .colm, .conm, and .coom.

"The website that appears to benefit the most from users mistyping a legitimate URL is faceboook.com (count the o's)," says Finke.

Scammers have taken advantage of the common typing error (which is typed once for every 7,930 times that facebook.com is correctly typed), setting up a website that makes visitors think they have been chosen as a "Facebook Winner."

Facebook.com Also Can Be Opened by Typing The Keyword "FB"  Only In The Address Bar.
