Facebook spent $40,000 (£25,000) in the first few days of a program that rewards users who discover security bugs. The Program aims to help harden facebook against attacks. One person made $7,000 through this program.

MySpace Sold for £22million

The social networking website myspace was bought for £21million by Specific Media; this price is £41million less than its original price.  Justin Timberlake also bought a stake in the company, who recently starred in the movie The Social Network. A film about facebook.  The site was originally being sold for £61million but was only sold by News corp. for £22million, who were relieved to sell the site.  The site has been declining in popularity since 2008 due to competition from facebook and twitter. The site still remains popular with musicians and bands.

Google + vs Facebook

Google has unveiled a new project called Google + which they hope will compete with facebook.  Google + allows users to share Photos, messages and comments; maps and are also integrated into the service. Google claim it will allow users to organise their contacts more easily. Some people have said Google have just copied features from facebook c hat feature. Currently the feature has only been made available to a small number of users but will soon be available to everyone else.

 

Twitter Down

So it would appear Twitter is down. I have not been able to access twitter at all, after a quick Google search it would appear I am not alone. It would appear most users are not able to access the site however some are but those lucky enough to be able to access the site are experiencing slow loading times. The site Twitter Status  says “currently experiencing elevated error rates” Twitter better get fixing this pronto.
