Who said that only Facebook and Orkut exists as social network with many users? Both networks are the largest existing so far, but they are limited to people over 13 years, and the children, what now? There are social networks aimed at this audience, which at an earlier age have discovered the wonders that the Internet can provide.

One of these networks is Moshi Monsters, which is geared toward children from England and that uses monsters inspired by the famous cartoons like Pokemon and Monster Rancher. To give you an idea of ​​the popularity of this network, today it already has 50 million registered users, which means that one in two children in England between 6 and 12 years is connected to the network and there is a new account being created every second in the 150 countries that exist around the planet.

In this social network children assume the role of a little monster who should care for nature in its own virtual world, besides interacting with other monsters that are other children around the world. All this occurs in a colorful and educational.

Unfortunately this social network is not available in Brazil, but there are options like Club Penguin, which is a social network of Disney, where children take care of a little penguin that walks into a virtual world that will receive new "missions" every day , all with educational topics and also with a very colorful world.

The ballad before and after social networks

As a teenager celebrating his birthday in early 1990, and as it does after 20 years?

Early 90
The patota met in the range of lessons after each one to think of lovely places to celebrate the anversário Juca. It was difficult to reach consensus. In addition to hard, like any teenager, the allowance was more than rationed after the government confiscated the savings of everyone. It was necessary to choose a good, inexpensive diner and a ballad with minimal consumption.

With great sacrifice, the class made a kitty as a gift to his friend: a shirt with the birthday girl's favorite band and a cassette tape with custom selected hits. It was not easy to get as many LPs and tapes on loan, but it worked, with a little effort of the smartest fellow in microsystems and double decks, was born to tape with custom banners.

After lunch, the group met towards the nightclub. There would come a big surprise: The high school classmates were all there, waiting. Even Annie, the girl who was the birthday in order, stumbled attend. Is something going to happen?

Was a party. They all drank and danced until not stand it anymore, told stories, laughed a lot.

Okay, it did not happen fied. But Annie is not only appeared as yet exchanged a few sentences with the birthday girl ... and a win so much! And drops of eye drops, witnessed beautiful dancing the entire party.

20 years later
After exchanging a few text messages and Facebook messages during class, the crowd gathers to discuss output ballad which would be better to spend the anniversary of Peter, or rather Beowulf77 - only the family calls him by the diminutive of his Christian name . There was no consensus: each chose her ballad based on the kilos that used to attend, and by "enjoy" on Facebook. Anyway, it was decided that it would take a month on each one to see what was going on, and depending on the weather, stay or not.

Nobody bought this. Everyone saw on Twitter that the very Beowulf77 just present someone with the last iPhone, divided in 10 times. He was happy, after all, only missing a portion to repay the previous smartphone, already too outdated.

After some discussion, decided to go first in a super ballad bushel, which should be out and about, after all, he is a webcelebridade. And it was even too much: full house, warm beer and bad music. But slow to realize it, because they spent some time trying to check in at the Foursquare, since the 3G barely caught inside. One member of the class was disgusted with the level of the party:

- Damn, orkutizaram the ballad! Let's go to another.

However, before leaving, a feat made the first destination is worth: two webgostosas found popular on Twitter, have pictures next to the girls and immediately posted on all social networks, for followers to die of envy. True, also tried to find the super arroba who organized the party, but nobody knew how he was in real life. After all, your avatar was a character on Big Bang Theory.

They passed a few more bars, and many check-ins after they found one that was worth staying. Beowulf77 was relieved because it was nearly 3 am and he would have to study math test the next day.

It was a really cool night. Without dropping their smartphones, each stood on Twitter every step, every and each drink beer arroba found. Too bad it did not find the @ Vanessinhaaa_fofuxaaa, the girl who was Beowulf77 order. The mine had no Foursquare; to guess the places he frequented?

After a while, the gang decided to sit down and eat something. Beowulf77 wanted a shoulder to share their feelings about the @ Vanessinhaaa_fofuxaaa, but the class was struggling to photograph the labels of beer and put on Instagram. As the light did not favor, it took several clicks to get a proper picture. Then took to the track. Did not dance, but dozens of photos posted. Everyone wanted to pose next to the popular birthday and a bushel, to post on their profiles. Almost gave Beowulf77 cramp in the photo so much to smile.

Exhausted, was little more than 6 in the morning when the friend who had a car took the crew off. Triumphant, he made a great revelation: his birthday gift. Beowulf77 eyes widened in surprise and asked what it was.

Study: phishing cases in social networks increases 1200%

A large-scale study of Internet safety showed an exponential increase in scams targeting users of social networking sites like Facebook. The half Internet security made by computer giant Microsoft, made based on data from 600 million computers, found evidence of an increase of 1,200% in phishing attacks last year.

In the attacks known as phishing, criminals send messages to Internet users apparently legitimate, appearing to have been sent by friends and colleagues. With these messages, spammers are computer users to give personal information such as passwords or bank numbers.

According to the BBC's technology correspondent Mark Gregory, an increase in fraud on social networking sites and social networks is not surprising given the growing popularity of such sites among users, but the proportion of the increase in phishing cases in these sites of great concern .

According to the study of Microsoft, these attacks represented a year earlier, less than 10% of all fraud committed through social networking sites. In late 2010, this proportion increased to 85%.

Already detection programs to infect computers with advertisements in the form of pop-up increased by 70% between mid-2010 until the end of the year, according to AFP, quoting the report.

Microsoft has noticed a "bias" of criminal behavior on the Internet, with a large increase in fraud tactics disguised in the form of gifts or marketing, according to AFP.

The research also shows two distinct trends in criminal activity online. On one hand, there is an increase in fraud-based scams - involving strategies to deceive many people to give a few personal information.

On the other hand, there is also an increase in more sophisticated fraud techniques, such as scams involving manipulation of computer programs, aimed at stealing large amounts of money from a few carefully chosen victims.

NameCheckr: Secure your identity on the Internet and Social Networks

Applications to search for domain names there are many, but to check the availability of social networking profiles very few. Many people use the same username for each service, network, blog or website, so consider that these aliases are part of their identity and are interested in knowing that others are not in use.

NameCheckr is a web application that will allow us to search for a domain and its availability in the popular social networking sites, a handy tool to see if that username has been used in social networks or domains.

With so many social networks and blogs is common to find the same people with the same user names in all services, to link them to your other accounts, such as a Twitter user @twitterers in FourSquare also use that name, because looked to their Twitter followers also continue in that network.

While not required, ideally within the virtual world that we live there is any order or notion of reality and it is important to maintain the same credentials on sites that use.

Importance of Social Media Site Digg!

You know what is Digg? Digg is a social network created in December 2004, the United States, aiming to expand Internet content. In Brazil it is not widespread, but it makes too much noise outside.

The site is the sharing of various types of materials published on the Internet. Segregated by subject, the user can enter text and links of general interest or specific. In addition to including updates, anyone who has an account on Digg also votes on issues posted, according to their relevance, making a ranking of the most clicked links.

Digg The term comes from the verb 'to dig', which in English means digging. According to Kevin Rose, one of the creators of the site, this name is exactly the allusion to the action that users have. "They are able to 'dig' the stories to the first page, from which they were presented" she says.

The site has a simple layout and straightforward, with the latest news posted in the spotlight, and the right side, the list of top rated. At the top are the subject of options, such as Technology, Science, Games, Sports, pictures, videos, and more.

Being completely in English and most of its users are Americans, much of the content refers to the United States, or is written in English, which makes the interest of Brazilians, for example. But for those who master the language, is a good option to keep updated and informed about what happens in the virtual world.

Digg Effect

Being an expansion site content, Digg concerned, sometimes called the Digg Effect.

If the link to a page is posted and voted too, means that a large number of people visited that link. However, if the page going to have millions of hits at once overloads the service, which has to respond simultaneously to all, being very slow or even temporarily unavailable.

Digg with Facebook

From Facebook, the social networking world's most famous, the user can connect to Digg. Thus, each time it includes something on Digg, a publication may appear on your Facebook wall, with just one click. It's a way to publicize the content displayed on site.


Today, Social Media represents more than simple interaction of people. "Social Media is the reporting of all for all. Prior, who held the media, held power. That has changed! Now everyone can produce and receive information over the largest communication network on the planet: the Internet. 'Media' is the means and 'Social' is relationships. Warning: do not confuse the 'Social' with the 'social' social responsibility, which in this case is something else.

Linkedin: Join It For Success Of Your Business

Linkedin is by far the leading social media business. With more than 46 million members is the largest collaborative network focused on business. In Brazil alone has over 1 million and is growing rapidly as all the social media of the country.

If you are over 22 years and only need to choose a social media ... this is definitely your best choice!

A professional network is a tool that lets you find any person or subject through multiple filters that generates LinkedIn.

Ideally, colleges / universities to teach, in the first year, creating a profile on Linkedin. Being such an important business tool for any area, its use should be encouraged in educational institutions.

In figures

Released in May 2003 by five persons (founders) have invited 350 friends in just one month gained 4,500 fans. At the end of the year 81,000 people were already connected and the end of 2004, the number rose remarkably to 1.6 million members. And like any social network that works, growth continued apace: four million in 2005, eight million in 2006, 15 million in 2007, 33 million in 2008 and 46 million members by August 2009.

The personal account (most common) is free. There are 3 more paid categories: Business Premium (U.S. $ 25/month), Premium Business Plus (U.S. $ 45/month) and Pro ($ 500/month). The main difference is access to the base of 46 million members that the staff does not. Other search features and references also are differences.

Linkedin by those who know

I went on LinkedIn in May 2004 by one of the first and most famous Brazilian members: Robert Mayer, president of MBI and Assespro Sao Paulo.

Mayer is on LinkedIn since March 2003 and currently has almost 13,000 direct connections, which give indirect access to a network of nearly 20 million people. "Without LinkedIn, I would not have access to these people almost instantly," he explains.

I asked you some example of how LinkedIn has helped him, and he replied: "When I see a subject that interests me is developing anywhere in the world, I can get people involved by LinkedIn a few hours."

For those who want to get on LinkedIn, Mayer recommends to devote yourself to grow your network of contacts. "Do not just connects with you in fact know very well, to prevent their network to give access only to those people of whom you already have a cell phone," guides.

5 years ago he gave a hint of that network in an article published in the Journal InfoWeek.

Step by step

Open a profile (personal account) and fill in the Linkedin all fields carefully before calling someone. Remember that the focus is professional, so just put the relevant information.

Choose a good picture because she is the first impression you will make. Add one or two contacts who are friends and are the most time on Linkedin. Ask them to give suggestions to your profile. After that, begin to navigate through LinkedIn in order to learn about the tool and visit other profiles.

Once you get familiar inviting, little by little, people of your relationship and make a custom text for each. Restart your search of learning every day browsing the site.

After awhile, when you are comfortable with the environment, you'll realize what strategy to be adopted. You can keep a small circle of contacts made it clear that they are all very close, you can zoom (as suggested by Mayer) to access a much larger network of contacts, you can open work areas and participate in interest groups. Over time you can see advantages in opening a premium account and have a more active participation. The important thing is to always be researching and learning about this important tool of professional relationships.
