The social-networking giant has hundreds of developers pushing new code to the service every week.

Facebook announced today it is doubling the site's release speed to shipping new code twice per day. The push is driven by Facebook's New York office as well as the social network's daily push already managed by its California release engineering team.

As Facebook grows towards 1 billion monthly active users and beyond, maintaining and frequently improving the site is a must. The company's hacker mentality of "move fast and break things" definitely applies here.

"We're making this change to keep our release process as quick and efficient at 1,000 engineers as it was at 100," release engineering manager Chuck Rossi said in a statement. "I'm really looking forward to this change as it takes our already incredibly aggressive release process and doubles down on it, offering us twice the opportunity to ship great things. It's exciting and I think it crushes what anyone else of our size and impact is doing. Ship early and ship twice as often."

Facebook started pushing code once a day back in May 2011. Rossi says Facebook developers are now producing six times the amount of code per week as they were in January 2008, when he left Google for the social networking giant.

Facebook may be fast at updating its main Web site, but the same definitely cannot be said for its mobile division. The social-networking giant needs to significantly improve its apps for Android and iOS if it wants to "crush what anyone else its size and impact is doing" in mobile.

Business-focused social networking website LinkedIn has said its quarterly profits declined but still beat analyst expectations.

Net profit in the three months to June fell 38% to $2.8m (1.8m) from the same period last year.

But revenue soared 89% to $228m, fuelled by an increase in premium subscriptions.

The results come as the shares of its larger rival Facebook fell another 4% to $20.04.

Facebook - the third-biggest share flotation in history - opened with a price of $38 per share in May and has seen its stock fall ever since.

LinkedIn was one of the first prominent social networking sites to issue shares to the public, ahead of the much-anticipated Facebook share issue.

LinkedIn's shares are 48% higher than at the start of the year and it has a market capitalisation of $9.7bn.

The business has more than 175 million members worldwide.

Meanwhile, Facebook has said it believes there are now more than 83 million illegitimate accounts on the social network - more than 8% of its 955 million active accounts.

VANCOUVER A B.C.-based salmon-farming company has voluntarily quarantined one of its facilities as officials investigate the apparent outbreak of a dangerous virus.

Greig Seafood says its farm on Culloden Point, in Jervis Inlet on the Sunshine Coast, north of Vancouver, has produced preliminary positive results for the IHN virus.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is doing more tests and final confirmation is expected over the weekend.

A release from Greig says the virus is not a risk to humans, and wild fish in the Pacific have a natural immunity, but IHN can be deadly to Atlantic salmon raised in the fish farms.

In May, the virus was confirmed at one Vancouver Island fish farm operated by Mainstream Canada, and all the fish at its Tofino-area facility were destroyed.

Precautionary quarantines were also imposed on two other farms in May, including a Greig Seafood operation on the Sunshine Coast, but final tests showed IHN had not infected those fish.
