Map: Newspapers All Over The World
I’ve always been fascinated by newspapers, although I barely read one. Back in 2005 I even worked in a newsroom of the local newspaper “Nürtinger Zeitung” in my German hometown Nürtingen. A great experience!
For those of you who are passionate about the newspaper industry as well, I found a great tool online: the “newspaper map“. It lists about 10,000 newspapers from all over the world on a Google map. They are classified by language, or you can search by name or location. The results show you the name of the newspaper with a link to its website, and sometimes even its Facebook page or Twitter account. One click on a different language opens the newspaper website translated by Google Translate.
A fancy tool to discover the world of newspapers! Let’s hope that in a couple of years the map still looks as colorful as it does now…

Quote: The Perfect Ad…
The American author Nicholas Carr was going to have a dreary Thursday until he stumbled upon a blog post on The Official Google Blog that totally made his day. It wiped out his long doubts that there is no perfect ad for Internet users in this jungle of online advertising…
“I know that somewhere deep in the Googleplex a flock of code-writing cupids is hard at work fashioning a promotional message that will dovetail perfectly with each and every one of my rational and emotional purchasing triggers. I need only be patient. My ad will come.”
I do feel like the perfect online advertising is already working for me… No matter how hard I am trying to forget about that beautiful pair of shoes I recently discovered on some e-commerce website – it keeps appearing on all kinds of other websites, continuously alluring me and looking so gorgeous…

Video: Social Networks in France
Another video I want to share with you guys, this one is about social networks in France (réseaux sociaux). I have been living in this country for almost one and a half years, so it is quite interesting to look at these figures.
French love Facebook (the social network has about 20 million users in France) like people elsewhere in Europe do, but Twitter didn’t make it yet to the mainstream. Here France is the #33 in a worldwide ranking comparing the traffic generated by the platform.
Oh, and I forgot to mention, the video is in French, but not very difficult to understand!

Infographic: The State of Wikipedia
A couple of years ago Wikipedia was THE hot topic whenever someone talked about social media. Now they all talk about Facebook and Twitter, and we don’t really hear much about the old star of user generated content…
To satisfy this hunger I proudly present you another nice infographic I found on Visual Loop. It summarizes some impressive figures about the online encyclopedia.
Enjoy!
