Microsoft’s Anti-Android Twitter Campaign Blew Up In Its Face (MSFT, GOOG)
Source: http://www.businessinsider.com/microsofts-anti-android-twitter-campaign-blew-up-in-its-face-2012-12
Microsoft’s official Windows Phone Twitter account began a hashtag campaign yesterday asking people to use #droidrage to complain about malware on Android devices.
(It’s often a complaint that Android devices are more susceptible to malware than other phones. However, Google has done a good job at cracking down on malicious apps in its Google Play app store, so it hasn’t really been a problem for most people lately.)
As one would expect, the campaign is blowing up in Microsoft’s face.
Android fans used the hashtag to blast Microsoft’s new Windows Phone 8 operating system. We searched the hashtag and picked out a few good ones. Thanks to DroidLife for picking up on this.
Now check out our review of HTC’s Windows Phone 8x >
Enjoy:
Whoops. Just activated another million devices today. Sorry bout that, @windowsphone. #DroidRage

My wireless mouse wasn’t compatible with Win8 so I downloaded an app on my Nexus phone to act as a mouse for my PC #DroidRage

You are as vulnerable to malware on Android as you are on a desktop computer. Be smart. Think then press. #droidrage

Obama’s Win Sent Instagram into Overdrive
Source: http://gizmodo.com/5958723/obamas-win-sent-instagram-into-overdrive
It’s not just Twitter that saw an astronomical boost from last night’s electoral dance—Instagram completely exploded as soon as Obama clinched presidential victory. In a huge way.
Within just six quick minutes—about as much time as it took for ecstatic Democrats to confirm on Twitter, jump up and down a little, pick up their phones, and pick a filter, the rate of photos uploaded to Instagram more than double to 2.1 the normal rate. If you’re a user of the app—and you probably are!—you no doubt got sepia peeks into a lot of living rooms and apartments around the country. The CNN close-up shot was a particular favorite.

They have 1 billion users, but that’s not Facebook’s only amazing statistic. There are a lot more, starting with a staggering 1.13 trillion likes. One point thirteen trillion likes, people. It’s crazy. Here are the rest of their stats, compiled since the first day of Facebook:
Over 1.13 trillion likes
since launch in February 2009. Wow.
140.3 billion friend connections
to one billion total users. Is everyone connected to everyone or what, Kevin Bacon?
219 billion photos.
These are photos actually in the system, not including the deleted ones. They believe they have had 265 billion photos in their servers since fall 2005. Flickr is weeping.
17 billion location-tagged posts,
including check-ins as of September 10, 2012—since August 2010.
210,000 years of music played so far.
62.6 million songs that have been played 22 billion times. The most staggering fact about this: their music-listening app only started in September 2011 and this data is from September 11, 2012.
More useless but neat facts:
• Facebook says that the median age of the user is about 22 years.
• The top five countries, in alphabetical order, where people connected from since the 1 billion user record was achieved: Brazil, India, Indonesia, Mexico and the United States.
• Of that 1 billion, there are 600 million mobile users. Not bad.
Head? Spinning!

Video’, Just Lost About Half Of Its Daily Users
Source: http://www.businessinsider.com/socialcam-daily-users-2012-5
It looks like SocialCam, the hottest app on the App Store, is in serious trouble.
AppData has finally updated the daily users for Facebook-connected apps after a few days of lag, and it shows that SocialCam’s Facebook-connected daily users fell off a cliff.
That drop probably includes the past five days, which basically showed no change in daily users.
