Janrain: “How people prefer to sign-in to sites on the Web: 38% Google, 24% Facebook, 14% Yahoo, 5% Twitter, 5% Windows Live, 14% Other. … Overall relative popularity of each network has held steady during the past quarter. Google remains the most preferred network with nearly 40% share. Facebook continues to be a popular option, and Yahoo!’s share has grown slightly since April, with 14% preferring a Yahoo! account to sign-in. While Twitter’s popularity in the social web ecosystem continues to rise, it still remains the 4th most popular network for sign-in across our customers’ websites. … The story is different with media companies. On news media sites, Yahoo! is the leading choice for sign-in with 34% share. As a content-focused network, Yahoo! users proactively seek out news and timely content across the web, making it no surprise that the network performs well in this industry segment. Facebook and Google also maintain strong presences on news media sites. … For magazine publishers, Facebook comprises 57% share of all logins. Many magazine publishers focus on lifestyle and interests, a natural pairing with Facebook users who like to share their interests with friends. … A look across Europe shows that Facebook is the most popular network for sign-in, followed by Google and Twitter: 39% Facebook, 26% Google, 12% Twitter, 8% Windows Live, 7% Yahoo, 6% Hyves, 2% Other. … Preferred social networks for sharing: 53% Facebook, 37% Twitter, 8% Yahoo, 7% MySpace.“

Automatically publish the right kind of content to the right social media destinations. – Centralize organizational access to social media channels.

Mashable: “Perhaps the most rewarding aspect of the Social Marketing Hub is that marketers can manage all channel behavior – like viewing and adding comments or replies – inside their dashboards. So, you can watch the conversations happening on Facebook and Twitter and participate in all of them from a single place. For example, if there’s an inappropriate comment posted to your Facebook Page, you can remove it in the Hub. – The Social Marketing Hub includes aggregate, channel and content-specific metrics. Users can look at views, click-throughs, comments, retweets, favorites and likes. The Hub also includes sentiment analysis for both comments and the commenters that created them. This handy feature should help brands better identify and address brand advocates and naysayers. – The Social Marketing Hub is priced at $2,000 for the lowest subscription plan, which includes support for up to five channels.“

NMAP: “A large-scale scan of the top million web sites (per Alexa traffic data) was performed in early 2010 using the Nmap Security Scanner and its scripting engine. As seen in the New York Times, Slashdot, Gizmodo, Engadget, and Telegraph.co.uk … – We retrieved each site’s icon by first parsing the HTML for a link tag and then falling back to /favicon.ico if that failed. 328,427 unique icons were collected, of which 288,945 were proper images. The remaining 39,482 were error strings and other non-image files. Our original goal was just to improve our http-favicon.nse script, but we had enough fun browsing so many icons that we used them to create the visualization below. – The area of each icon is proportional to the sum of the reach of all sites using that icon. When both a bare domain name and its “www.” counterpart used the same icon, only one of them was counted. The smallest icons – those corresponding to sites with approximately 0.0001% reach – are scaled to 16×16 pixels. The largest icon (Google) is 11,936 x 11,936 pixels, and the whole diagram is 37,440 x 37,440 (1.4 gigapixels).“
