JupiterResearch, a research and analysis firm focusing on Internet trends and technologies, has been trying to get a grip on the present and future state of social networks and cell phones.

Socialcast has finally released the latest version of its enterprise social networking service. This SaaS-based service holds a new surprise along with all the features we told you about last month — a self-service delivery model.

Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari and Opera, watch out — Google is entering the fray with its shiny new creation called Chrome. Google’s newest creation will be available for download today in more than 100 countries for people using Microsoft Windows, but is the amount of drama brewing from Google’s announcement just the beginning of a new browser war?

It’s back - yes it is. Jaiku has arisen from the depths of Google and is now offering unlimited invites to all. Google acquired the microblogging service back in the October of last year and we’ve heard very little about it since then. Perhaps now that school is back in, Google sees an opportunity to grab a market away from Twitter.

The issue of user-generated content has been subject to scrutiny and debate among online news media, many of whom have questioned its place in online journalism.

When you think of the rebellious and loose nature by which blogging is often described, it might be that Las Vegas is the perfect location for the Second Annual BlogWorld and New Media Expo.

Scheduled for September 20, adding to what is already a busy weekend for bloggers, the expo will feature advice, insight and experiences as shared by senior executives from Fortune 500 companies and industry thought leaders, all of whom attendees can learn a thing or two about how to implement social media.

Ma.gnolia, a free social bookmarking service, has recently announced plans for a complete rewrite of their social bookmarking system that will lead to improved maintenance, expandability, customization and monetization. With so much work and such little time, Ma.gnolia certainly has its hands full with all the things planned for the future.

The Social Media industry seems to get just a little bit bigger every hour and it’s amazing how many different vendors can come on the scene and offer products and solutions that can help us design and build communities of one sort or another.

As an enterprise though, you need to be sure you are working with the right solution provider. Someone who is not only selling you a service, but helping you truly understand why and how to implement it. This is where you see Awareness — an on-demand social media platform for Web 2.0 communities provider — emerge as a front-runner. They have the right technology platform and what appears to be a wealth of knowledge and understanding to implement your community(s) the right way.
