Social Networkers: A new generation - Hindustan Times: "Ladies and gentlemen, the explosion has happened. When Facebook, the world’s most popular social networking site, made it to the cover of Time magazine last month in the form of its founder, Mark Zuckerberg, it was a defining moment. Already, the site ranks as the third most populous country in the world (if it can be called a country) behind India and China and estimates show that it will cross 1 billion members in 2012. That’s a sixth of the world’s population – and half of the 2 billion people who are connected to the Internet. Micro-blogging site Twitter currently hovers around the 190 million users mark but is taking over our lives like nothing we’ve seen before."
