There are dozens of Social Networks available to people all over the world, and two of the most standard are making huge news … again. Facebook is in the focus for its impressive growth, and Twitter for a message that only had a fleeting lifespan.

Facebook has more registered users than some countries have people. Their newest statistics show that the website is catching up with the populace of the United States. According to the most recent Census, the U.S. currently has 305,529,237 residents. The “populace” of Facebook isn’t far behind – they now have just over 300 million users.

Last July Facebook reported 250 million users, so this is a very impressive jump in numbers over a fleeting period of time. The company is constantly looking for creative ways to attract even more people. They recently launched Facebook Lite, a toned down version of Facebook that they claim is a “quicker, simpler way to keep in touch with your acquaintances”. Facebook also has several projects in the works, including a voice chat application, to delight social networkers.

It’s working. Even if the site has been wildly standard, it has not been profitable. That changed during their last quarter; for the first time ever, Facebook made a profit. This is causing people to view the future of the company in a different light. Until recently there has been a fantastic deal of speculation that Facebook would be sold to a large competitor, but now people are thinking the social networking site is in it for the long run.

Twitter gets talked about a lot, but a few recent Tweets have really caught the attention of the nation. These Tweets came from employees of ABC News who overheard a comment made by Head Barack Obama while his guard was down.

Head Obama was talking with CNBC employees previous to an interview, and several ABC staff members who share the workspace were nearby. The subject of Kanye West interrupting Taylor Swift’s acceptance speech at the MTV Video Music Awards came up, and Obama said that his events were inappropriate. When a name questioned why Kanye would do that, Obama answered “He’s a jacka**”.

Obama’s statement was met with laughter, and he questioned that it be kept within the room. His question for was denied, but, when more than one ABC employee Tweeted about what the Head said. ABC officials had the messages removed, but by then they had been seen by a large number of people and were by now being Re-Tweeted by those who approved and disapproved of the Head’s comment.

This incident reopens a recent discussion about what people who work at nationally recognized companies can and cannot post on their social profiles. Representatives of ABC felt it was incorrect for their employees to post a comment Obama made privately, and this could lead to a new set of rules that people must follow when using social networks. In the meantime Obama’s remarks will fall under intense analysis all across the globe.
