<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
The US president, Barack Obama, will turn to Tumblr in his attempts to secure a second term in 2012, following the successful use of other social networking tools in his 2008 rise to power.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Obama famously used Twitter and Facebook in 2008, and will now look to another blogging platform in Tumblr to boost his popularity with an increasingly tech obsessed and connected nation.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Using the http://barackobama.tumblr.com/ address, Obama's team are already sending out messages, the first encouraging people to join in and add their own stories during the campaign.</div>

Trolls</h4>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
"There will be trolls among you: this we know.We ask only that you remember that we're people—fairly nice ones—and that your mother would want you to be polite," concludes the post.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
It seems likely that there will also be a Google+ account, although a seemingly official account was deleted from Google+ back in July despite appearing on search engine results even now.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
British politicians are also embracing social media as they look to reach out to voters, although the now quickly fading and much mocked Digital Economy Act perhaps suggests that – with some notable exceptions - understanding of the modern digital world is not at its most complete in the Houses of Parliament.</div>

Microsoft makes three times more off patent licensing than its own mobile OS

Microsoft holds several key patents and most of the key Android players are now paying Microsoft to license those patents. With the popularity of Android and the lack of popularity of Windows Phone 7, this may come as no surprise.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">

<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Microsoft makes more money off licensing its patents than it does off WP7. Not just a little more money either, Microsoft reportedly makes three times as much off licensing patents as it does WP7. Analyst Horace Dediu from ASymco claims that Microsoft makes about $15 per license for WP7 to HTC.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia,'Bitstream Charter',serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
At the same time, it licenses the patents for Android to HTC for $5 per device and that is only one carrier. Microsoft has landed a gaggle of phone makers that are all licensing those patents and some may be paying more than HTC. For Q2 2011 Microsoft made $21 million off WP7 licensing and about $60 million from patent licensing.</div>

Sports and music is the key to popularity on Facebook

<P align=center><img src="http://cdn.mos.techradar.com///classifications/computing/internet-and-broadband/images/facebook-logo-angled-crop-200-200.jpg"></P> <br /><P>Data crimped from Facebook has found that if you want people to Like your status and become your friend, then writing about sports and music is the key.</P><br /><P>Facebook looked at 1 million status updates (stop seething, they were all anonymous) and found that those who were 'popular' on the site liked to use the pronoun 'you' and speak about music and sports.</P><br /><P>It seems that they are also all about themselves, preferring not to speak about their family and they are emotionless in their updates.</P><br /><P>"Word usage of more 'popular' people also differs from people with a lower friend count," said Facebook.</P><br /><P>"They write longer updates, and use more words referring to music and sports. More 'popular' people also talk less about their families, are less emotional overall, use fewer past tense and present tense verbs and words related to time."</P><br /><P>They sound like idiots to us.</P><br /><P><STRONG>A lot of negativity</STRONG></P><br /><P>Facebook also found that if you use negative comments in your update, then this will garner less Likes but it will increase comments.</P><br /><P>"Positive emotional updates receive fewer comments – perhaps there's nothing more to say," says Facebook.</P><br /><P>"Negative emotional updates receive more comments – perhaps as a consolation."</P><br /><P>So if you want to be popular, receive lots of comments and Likes, we suggest you say in your status update: "I hate sport, music and you. But I really like being liked."</P><br /><P>For more information on the status update breakdown, head over to the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/notes/facebook-data-team/whats-on-your-mind/477517358858">Facebook blog</A>.</P>
