With the new year a number of new blogs are created partly as a result of a resolution. New bloggers put a number of hours into their site only to be frustrated by the lack of readership and/or traffic.

BlogTV has shown some modest increases in viewership and traffic. This has also lent itself to some frustrating page load times for members based on the number of ‘friends’ he or she has. A member with several hundred friends could wait 5-15 seconds (or more) for any video stream page to load and that doesn’t include the 15 second video ad placement if you don’t have a ‘Pro’ account.

YouTube is announcing today that they will be rolling out a new feature which you Facebook fanatics may already be familiar with … Friend Suggestions. That’s right. YouTube will be launching a “you may know these people” suggestions box on the homepage over the next few weeks.

For example, if you’ve logged in to YouTube and sent a video to a friend’s email address, or if you have your YouTube account linked to a Gmail account, they will use this information to help identify your friends who already have YouTube channels. You’ll only see channels whose owners have allowed themselves to be found by others who have their email address.

Facebook has been phasing out different search functions which is quite puzzling to me. To do simple things like search for friends in a specific geographic location is not really possible. The only way you can do this is to use basic search and hope a keyword search filters out your friends to what you are looking for.

There are a whole slew of reasons why you may want to search for stalk someone online. You may want to find a lost relative, business contact, a classmate, or an old flame. By now you probably realized that using search engines such as Google, Bing or Yahoo to search for people just doesn’t cut it. Why do search engines fail so miserably? It’s a little known but important part of the net called ‘the deep web’ or ‘invisible web’. So the question is how can we access this information easily and for the most part free of charge?

The NFL announced today that it will allow players to use social media networks with on stipulation – that it’s not during games. All football personnel from the players, coaches, and the water boy can use Facebook, Twitter, and everything in between up to 90 minutes before the start of the game and then after the media interviews following a game. In other words, when all the news of the game is old news.
