Social Networking Site For Bricklyers

Proven.com wants to prove there's job site for skilled tradespeople somewhere between the white collar networking of LinkedIn and the anarchy of Craigslist. A site focusing on the workers end has been up since last year. The employers end has been active since May under that site's old name, workersnow.com. Now both sides are good to go under the Proven banner. According to co-founder and CEO Pablo Fuentes, 400 new workers are creating profiles a day. More importantly for its new phase of growth, employers are joining the network at a clip of a little over 250 per day.
Workers create an account and list a skill set, along with any certifications and references verifiable to Proven through trade degrees or video samples of a worker in action. One unique feature that sets the site apart from LinkedIn. Workers can set their "Crew" of people with whom they enjoy working. Then it's on to an interactive map to find employers and submit profiles, regardless of whether they're hiring at that moment. Workers get five submissions per day.
Employers have to undergo a verification process before they can list whatever skills they seek on the map. Workers in those skill sets see employers as blue, outside that skill set they are gray and without a contact link. A company that is currently hiring appears as green and can privately choose from the profiles submitted to it.
Joining the Proven.com social networking sites is free for both workers and employers, but proven plans to roll out optional premium accounts for employers in the near future, as other site like LinkedIn have offered. Those accounts will pay to use more advanced filters to best find workers in their particular skill set. Premium-level workers accounts would only pay to cover the costs of opt-in verifications such as background or DWV checks, and even then Proven plans to allow users to earn credit through site activity such as referrals. Fuentes said Proven also expects to make money through partnerships with certain trade schools.

Image from NewsTonight.co.za

The social networking site like Facebook is on its way toward building an even stronger relationship with its users, with the launch of an application for video chatting and calling on the site after finalizing a deal with Skype, the internet calling service.
According to Founder and Chief Executive on Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, the new application makes chatting with friends more interesting as it goes beyond just sending messages on chat. Facebook has 750 million users worldwide and its users spend a lot of time on Facebook. If a user wants to video chat with another user, the only thing they need to do is click on their contacts profile when they are online.
The application will help users save money and time by talking face to face at low cost or for free. The new feature is also expected to boost Facebook's profits. The feature is expected to be made available to the users in a few weeks.
Presently, Google launched its Google +1 application, which the company hopes will surpass all other social networking sites like facebook in demand, as it can enable to people to chat together simultaneously.

Google's +1 Button More Popular Than Tweet Button

After only being available for just over a month, Google's +1 button has already become more popular than Twitter's tweet button.
 Are you using google+1 yet? with how hard it is to get an invite, we are sure the majority of you are not, which makes this news even more interesting BrightEdge, a SEO platform, released information today that breaks down just how many websites are using all the fancy new social networking widgets. For instance, all of Digital trends articles have a handy "Tweet", "like" and Google's +1 buttons to help you share the articles you love the most with your friends and followers, but how many other websites offer the some convenience?
Twitter's tweet button and instant follow widgets are only used on around three percent of the top 10,000 websites. In comparison, Google's new +1 button, which was launched on June, is already on four and a half percent of the top sites. Google +1, which hasn't even been available for two weeks, seems to be taking the web by storm. To help put just how quickly the +1 button took off, in the first month that +1 buttons have been available, they have shown up on over 100,000 websites. In the first week of facebook's like button, it was on 50,000 websites.
The report also outlines some other very interesting information. Most shocking for us, only 49 percent of the top 10,000 websites have either Facebook or Twitter integration on their homepages. Not to point out the obvious, but that means that over half of the web's top sites still aren't taking full advantage of social marketing, it already seems as though everywhere you look you see something linking back to Facebook, Twitter, and now Google+1 and they still have plenty of room for growth, it seems.

Google Disables Realtime Search Result

Google search engines said today that it has temorarily disabled its Realtime search function in the wake of the introduction of its social network Google+.
 The feature was developed to integrate real-time data from Twitter and other social networking sites. The option for the feature has been removed from the right side of Google's search bar, and the feature's Web page now contains a 404 message.
"We've temporarily disabled google.com/realtime, we're exploring how to incorporate Google+ into this functionality, so stay tuned," the company said on its Google Realtime Twitter feed.
Google began indexing real-time Twitter message in its search results in 2009, but apparently that arrangement with the microblogging site has expired.
"Since October of 2009, we have had an agreement with Twitter to include their updates in our search results through a special feed, and that agreement expired on July 2nd," a Google representative told SearchEngineLand." while we will not have access to this special feed from Twitter, information on Twitter that's publicly available to our crawlers will still be search-able and and discoverable on Google".
When Realtime returns, it will feature content from a variety of sources, not just Google+, the company's recently unveiled social network, Google told SearchEngineLand.
