Google+ May Be Close to 10 Million Users

You must have heard about the new social media platform released by the good folks at Google called Google+. According social media superblogger Mashable, a new report estimates the current number of users at 10 million, making it one of the fastest growing social media platforms of all time. This new report uses US census data and matches it with surnames of current account holder to calculate a number. Have you tried it out yet? We have and many people have compared it to arriving to a party early, so its roomy and comfortable and casual, not crowded and noisy. That's the exact impression we've got and we don't mind that. Its also Google and in true fashion, they've carried over a simplistic design, super fast photo loading times, like really super fast. It might have taken Google a while but we think this might be it. 

Also, if you wanna get in the action, hit us up for an invite. Members only.

China Wants A Piece of Facebook

Suprise, surprise; China just wants a piece of everything. On Tuesday Forbes blogger, Gordon Chang reported that Beijing approached an investment fund with particular interest in accumulating a 'formidable' stake in the company. But experts have expressed the little need for concern because the proposed $1 billion dollar investment would not be significant. On the political side of the fence, people need not worry about China's access to Facebook profile as shareholders do not have access and Beijing would purchase non-voting shares, which would make their opinions null and void. Well that doesn't seem so bad. I think Mark Z should hold on tight to all his stock for a couple years, then go public and reap the rewards; without compromising the originality and integrity of the brand. What do you think? We all have Facebook accounts.

A New Look Inside Technology Powerhouses

Wouldn't the chance to be a fly on the wall just for a day, hour, minute or a second for the biggest tech firms around be awesome? Well we didn't come up with a way you could, but maybe we can bring you a step closer. Can you dig this hilarious sketch up of what is thought to be the organizational structure of the biggest tech firms like Apple, Microsoft, Google and so on? The concept is pretty cool but I guess knowing a bit of history behind these companies will help you understand better. But you can mostly figure it out; Amazon is apparently the least radical and Microsoft has guns? Hmm, thanks @shanselman.
