Minecraft Pocket Edition: The End Map - Video
More than 70% of online adults are Facebook users, but the popular social network is facing some slivers of competition as new digital destinations entice users. In 2013 we saw the rise of visual social media, with services such as Instagram and Pinterest reeling in fans with photos-first agendas.
This year there is not just one emerging trend, but instead there are a number, changing the way people connect online--all while slowly eating tiny bits of Facebook's lunch.
When their parents and grandparents--and the dreaded marketers--jump on board of one social media site (like Facebook), teens scurry off to carve out new online territory. Most recently, Snapchat is driving the disappearing social media trend. With more than 360 million photos shared--and deleted within seconds--this company is proving that a younger generation is in fact cozying up to the idea of private moments.
Assuming the company can avoid another security breach, they are poised for continued upward growth in in 2014.
Finally, blogging is beautiful. If you think back to the blogs of yesteryear, while the words often had an impact, where they were housed was nothing to write home about. Cofounder of new blog publishing platform Medium Ev Williams (of Blogger and Twitter fame) explained the difference in an email:
"It is a much lower barrier and commitment than blogging. You publish into a network that is pulsing with other writers and readers. And you create with the cleanest, most streamlined writing interface on the web."
Check out the top 100 stories on Medium to see topics ranging from life hacking to saving local bookstores to CrossFit's dirty little secret. Neatly tucked beside each title is the approximate reading time, a nice addition in a world where sometimes 140 characters seems like too much.
While most social networks, such as Twitter, operate best when you share publicly, there are a growing number of online users flocking to private networks. Lulu, a women-only app (iOS / Android) that makes it easy to rate guys, is soaring in popularity in many corners of the world. Its biggest audience? Brazil. The service has the flavor of Mark Zuckerberg's Facebook predecessor FaceMash, where users could choose the hotter of two female students on-screen.
Lulu however appears to have a higher purpose--mainly to help ladies avoid bad male choices. Log in with your Facebook account and--if you're female--you're all set to start (anonymously) rating guys. These closed networks are bound to make members feel as though they're part of a tighter community, leading to a higher comfort level than what they might experience posting publicly.
Just when you thought social media couldn't get more egotistical, Justin Bieber throws his weight behind "Shots of Me." The iOS app makes it easy to share selfies (just in case you couldn't nail taking a photo of yourself in one of the many popular picture-taking apps online today).

5 Of The Best And Worst Social Networking Trends For 2014
No bird brains as young scientists test their theories
Friday, January 10, 2014
Students wonder whether social networking promotes narcissism; whether anxiety affects examination performance; and if they can save an endangered bird.
Judges will have sifted through the 550 projects on display four times before the overall winner is announced tonight.
Among the young scientists was Christine Marron, 15, a transition-year student at Kinsale Community School, Co Cork, who found that people who use social networking sites have higher narcissistic tendencies.
However, her statistical study was inconclusive as to whether people who used social networking could be defined as narcissistic.
Christine surveyed 92 people who used social networking and most thought they were good at influencing people.
I carried out another test to determine peoples self-esteem and I found that although people agreed with positive comments about themselves, they disagreed with negative ones.
Lee Warner, 16, a transition-year student at Scoil Ruain, Killenaule, Co Tipperary, wants to play a part in saving the hen harrier.
His project looked how the native bird of prey, now reduced to an estimated 344, can be saved from extinction.

New Delhi: Encouraged by its success in reaching out to people through social networking site Facebook, Isrohas decided to use social networking site Youtube.
"We received tremendous response to our Mars Orbiter Mission (MOM) project through Facebook. We have now decided to use Youtube to reach out to people in a better way," Department of Space secretary K Radhakrishnan told reporters here.
He said the younger generation was a major chunk that follows the space agency on social networking sites.
"Healthy discussions take place on the Facebook page and most of the people are between the age group of 18-24 years," Radhakrishnan said.
During the MOM, IRSO also released information related to the project in a capsule form. It also kept updating the mission details on the Facebook page.
Minister of State for PMO V Narayanasamy said Isrohad opened a Facebook page on the MOM, which has received over 3 lakh 'likes' so far, while the Geosynchronous Satellite Launch Vehicle (GSLV) Facebook page received over 39,000 likes in less than a week after its launch.
The Union Minister added the space agency has also started a Twitter account, which already has a large number of followers.

After Facebook, Isro turns to Youtube
Social networking sites offer endless possibilities. They can even rebuild lives when life itself knocks you down. This is what happens to the main character in La vida era eso (or, So that was life), a novel by the Valencian journalist and writer Carmen Amoraga.
On Monday, the book won the 70th Nadal Prize, which has traditionally been handed out on the evening of January 6 since 1944.
The story follows a woman in her forties who loses her husband after a long battle with disease. She is left alone with two small children, as well as the people that her husband was in touch with through the social networks that he was so fond of.
After initial feelings of rejection, the widow starts to get in touch with them all, helping her overcome her terrible loss and ultimately rebuilding her own life.
The jury said that the book has managed to address the new forms of communication and relationships through social networks and, at the same time, deal humorously with such a tough topic as the loss of a loved one.

Amoraga, a newspaper columnist and contributor to radio and TV talk shows, won the prestigious award having already been a finalist in 2007 with Algo tan parecido al amor (or, Something a lot like love), and the 2010 Planeta Award runner-up with El tiempo mientras tanto (or, Time in the meantime).
The evenings other award, the Josep Pla prize, went to Els ambaixadors (The ambassadors, in Catalan), a historical speculation by the archivist and archeologist Albert Villar. This piece of alternate history muses on what would have happened if Francisco Franco had died in a plane accident, rather than generals Sanjurjo and Mola. The plot draws on current affairs, with the government of Catalonia proclaiming independence for the region and a main character who works as a Catalan government spy.
Villar, director of the culture and tourism department of the government of Andorra, specializes in crime novels, and in 2006 he won the Carlemany Prize with Blau de Prssia, a story set in the Pyrenees.
The other star of the evening was the veteran Spanish writer Ana Mara Matute, who handed out the Nadal in the name of all past winners (she herself won it in 1959).
