Anna’s Social Media Picks of the Week (03/05/10)
Do you have time to search the web everyday to find the newest and coolest Social Media tools? If the answer is no, then you have come to the right place. I have searched the World Wide Web for social media information all week, and stumbled upon a few favorites along the way. Here are my picks of the week:
10 Billion Tweets

Late Thursday night. Twitter hit, and has now surpassed, 10 billion tweets. Thats a lot of Tweets. Other milestones: Twitter broke 1 billion Tweets in November 2008 and 5 billion Tweets just four months ago.
Social Media In Dollars & Cents

Staying on the topic of billions, my second pick of the week is how much different social media networks are worth. According to SharesPost, Facebook is worth $11.5 billion, Twitter is worth $1.4 billion, and LinkedIn is worth $1.3 billion.
YouTube Captions

YouTube automatic captions are now available on ALL English language videos. As Google noted on ReadWriteWeb, there will be over 700 million people who will suffer from hearing impairment by 2015 so this will be a great tool to help address those needs.
ShareThis Gets More Social

Share buttons are getting more social. This week, one of the largest sharing button networks, ShareThis , has introduced Share Stream, a site that shows you what your Facebook friends are sharing across the web. Soon, your Twitter followers will be included in this new share stream as well.
Facebook: Larger Photos

Facebook has officially launched resized photos. Facebook has increased photo image size by almost 20%, giving users a higher quality photo. As AllFacebook mentioned, While on the surface this isnt a big deal, Facebook runs the largest online photo storage product which means this is a relatively substantial technical feat.
