When it comes to presence on social networks, Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle may have a huge advantage over other prospective cardinals who may succeed Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI.

Tagle, 55, is the most active cardinal on Facebook, Discovery News cited a social media analysis by the Italian start-up Decisyon.

"Tagle, regarded as 'The Asian Karol Wojtya,' boasts 123,000 Likes. Decisyon established that since Jan. 1, his page has accounted for 52 percent of cardinalss social-media use, producing more than 57,000 posts, comments and shares," Discovery News said.

As of 8 a.m. Sunday, Tagle's Facebook page has 126,177 likes, with 4,628 talking about it.

Tagle has also gained the support of SNAP, the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, along with Austrian cardinal Christoph Schoenborn, it added.

"Indeed, the Filipino cardinal is seen by many Vatican analysts as a papabile, a strong candidate to become the 266th successor of St. Peter," Discovery News said.

It said Decisyons analysis showed Cardinal Timothy Michael Dolan of New York is number two in social media appeal.

"With his @CardinalDolan account, the American cardinal been engaging almost 90,000 followers. His posts include comments and links to his interviews and public appearances," it said.

But he was featured as No. 1 on SNAPs blacklist, even as he expressed doubt at rumors he would become the first American pope.

Pupils in Wales could soon get advice on avoiding the pitfalls of using social media and prevent damaging their future career prospects.

A pilot scheme will give tips on avoiding posting compromising or embarrassing photos on sites such as Facebook or Twitter.

It will include advice on protecting personal information and staying safe.

This week the Welsh government asked councils to allow pupils more access to social networking sites.

The pilot scheme is being run by the office of the information commissioner, a UK body which promotes data privacy as part of its role.

It's trying to make sure that they deal appropriately - that they don't give it away to the wrong people, that they keep it safe where it needs to be kept safe

The move is about being more proactive, the commissioner's Welsh official says.

"We've had experience of cases where people have maybe applied for jobs and something they've done in their past or they've put up on Facebook has actually stopped them from getting that job," said Anne Jones, the assistant information commissioner.

"We all know that employers tend to search for these things online and it certainly has been happening and I'm sure it will happen again in the future."

SOCIAL NETWORKING : How Tweet it is!

Google's Glass headset may be an even more potent social tool than you may believe, if a new system called InSight is anything to go by: It's clever enough to recognize people in the wearer's field of view by their dress sense alone, and then presents their name on the Glass's display.

The developers suggest it may also be useful for spotting your friends in a crowd at a concert or other busy venues--under these circumstances face recognition is not an option because the faces may be far away and not looking at the camera. Instead the team behind InSight worked out a way to "fingerprint" someone from their fashion--from clothes to accessories like jewelry. The app does require training by observing the subjects so it can associate an outfit with a definite ID, but there's definitely a hint here that Google Glass may have some significant social benefits that go far beyond merely being able to google for stuff.

Meanwhile an app called Now is leveraging real-time social imagery in a different way--to cut through the noise of social network alerts from services like Instagram. Instead of pinging you frequently to say a friend has popped a new Instagram photo up, Now spots if a friend is Instagramming from a trending location and only alerts you then. This has the upshot of letting you spot hot events that are going on nearby, and also cuts down on the amount of unwanted alerts you get on your smartphone. Or, we assume, on your future Google Glasses.
