We all love a good infograph every now and again and Voltier Digital and Plastick Media have created a fantastic graphic which goes into detail about how much we share on social media sites on a regular basis.

Originally posted on Social Times, The Sharing Avalance goes into a lot of detail about who shares what and the type of content shared. For example in a 60 second period, more than 500,000 status updates are uploaded around 3,500 photos are uploaded onto Flickr and 2,000 people check in on Foursquare. Also within three to five years, Facebook will have a larger population than China which has almost 1.35 billion people living there.

There’s a lot of information to wade through and hats off to both Voltier and Palstick for creating an accessible and colourful graphic bursting with interesting facts and information.

With the popularity of file sharing programs such as Dropbox growing, one of the bigger gripes that people have is the size limit they offer; the opportunity to increase the storage depends on whether or not you’ll stump up the cash for it.

Now file sharing company BitTorrent Inc have released a personal cloud storage app that not only allows users to transfer files without any size limit, but also to an unlimited number of personal contacts.

Share, the new program powered by BitTorrent, is designed to give users an easier way of uploading files, images and videos for their friends and family to download from. The app is designed for those who only want to share files with specific people as opposed to uploading them for the entire internet to download. Files are stored in the cloud, meaning that users don’t have to be online at the same time to complete transfers.

GigaOM have reported that the service is currently Windows-only, but that Mac users will be able to download an alpha version of the company’s µTorrent client that will offer them the same features. Future Windows versions of µTorrent will offer Share functionality.

As hosting costs tend to be the big issue with file sharing companies, BitTorrent have a great foundation to work from, already having 100 million users. The unlimited file size upload will be tempting for a number of users but if there are any catches, they haven’t been revealed yet so it will depend on how well the service is received. Either way, the heated competition can only be a good thing for those who regularly use and depend on file sharing services.

The rise of social media is a good thing for so many reasons, but a new app launched by a Vodka company pulls in some of your common online actions to see if you’re living a healthy offline social life or just spending all your time online. It is called social life audit and it pulls in lots of your Facebook data, and carries out an audit to see how much of a good time you are having.

It looks at all the places in the world that you visit, the types of photos you are tagged in and who your friends are and what they get up to. It’s a smart move by a new brand to create something that ties it back to a social life, and the nature of this app means that it will spread like wildfire across Facebook in the coming days.

How It Works

All you have to do is connect your Facebook account and it accesses all your information and pulls out some of the most important data to paint a picture of your social life.

Some Serious Technical Issues

It’s a lot of fun to look through your results as you gain points for certain actions like having group photos where everybody is smiling and the places you check into. The only issue that I had with it and it’s a pretty worrying one is that it calls me a “player” for being in photos with my sister. The idea here is that it rewards you for appearing in photos with girls, but when the girl is your sister, mom or granny, it’s best not to be called a player!
