“Steve was among the greatest of American innovators—brave enough to think differently, bold enough to believe he could change the world, and talented enough to do it. By building one of the planet’s most successful companies from his garage, he exemplified the spirit of American ingenuity.” – President Obama 2011

A friend shared this video and it made me happy. I have been in quite a very generative space since December and notice I have not posted on my blog in awhile. But I realized that by being an entrepreneur (and having spell check) i am helping so many people realize their dreams, discovering their goals and sharing with them new possibilities. I love being an entrepreneur!

The good folks at Digital Surgeons put together this great graph showing the demographic statistics (and a few fun facts) for both Facebook and Twitter. I also broke it down into chart format for easy comparison:
| Demographic | ||
|---|---|---|
| Total Users | 500 million | 106 million |
| People aware of Facebook | 88% | 87% |
| Log in Everyday | 41% | 27% |
| Log in via mobile device | 30% | 37% |
| Follow a brand | 40% | 25% |
| Brand follower purchase from brand | 51% | 67% |
| Update stats everyday | 12% | 52% |
| Located outside United States | 70% | 60% |
| Gender | ||
| ·Men | 46% | 48% |
| ·Women | 54% | 52% |

It is really neat to see this. It clearly shows that Twitter has an older demographic. But, as Digital Surgeons points out, “Facebook is much larger with 500 million users compared to Twitter’s 106 million, but did you know that 52 percent of Tweeters update their status every day while only 12 percent of Facebook users do the same? How about the fact that half of Twitter’s users are in college compared to only 28 percent of Facebook users.”

How to ask your friends to not make public your “Comments and Likes” on Facebook
by dzielski on September 23, 2011
Text to post:
Please do me a favor and move your mouse over my name here, wait for the box to load and then move your mouse over the “Subscribed” link. Then uncheck the “Comments and Likes”.
I would really rather that my comments on friends and families posts not be made public, thank You! Then re-post this if you don’t want your every single move posted on the right side in the “Ticker Box” for everyone to see!
I’m posting this not only for myself, but also so that my friends and family will know to ask others to do the same if they would not like their every move on Facebook noticed.
