People More Likely To Lie On Twitter

Some people said that it's hard to get much information out of someone in 140 characters.  It may also be more difficult to obtain the truth.  I've  found that individuals are more honest when dealing with each other face-to-face than when using Twitter.

We'll admit that this behavior seems a little irrational; lying when the falsehood will survive online forever, depending on the fail whale's mood, isn't too smart.  Still, researchers focusing on email have come to similar conclusions in the past, and in this case, the margin wasn't very close.

Opinium Research polled 2,012 adults on behalf of Direct Line, and Direct Line stated afterward, "Just one in five people (20 per cent) profess to being more truthful on Twitter or text, compared to a third (31 per cent) who state that they are more frank when speaking to someone in the flesh."

Then, if you're interested in a breakdown of the data, the statement continued, "[M]en are less likely to be honest via text than themselves (17 per cent of men compared to 21 per cent of women) . . . .  [W]omen are less likely to be truthful in person than men, with 12 per cent more men claiming to be honest face to face than women."

Hopefully this research won't cause marketers too much trouble when they attempt to use Twitter.

Facebook Accused Of User ID Privacy Breach

On the heels of its big announcement with Bing, there's bad news for Facebook.  The social network has been linked to an alleged "privacy breach," and plenty of people are concerned about it, although there's reason to believe the matter isn't a big deal.

The problem, which was discovered by Emily Steel and Jeffrey A. Fowler: many of Facebook's most popular apps (including games made by Zynga and LOLapps) transmitted User IDs to advertisers.  Advertisers could then determine the names of an app's users, along with any info they'd made available to "everyone."

This has led to a number of discussions about leaks, breaches, and even the sale of private data.  Plus, it's not just bloggers doing the talking; mainstream news shows are covering the topic this morning.

The fact that "everyone" might include a few advertisers shouldn't come as a shock, however, and it looks like most apps' developers weren't sharing UIDs on purpose.

A post on the Facebook Developer Blog explained, "In most cases, developers did not intend to pass this information, but did so because of the technical details of how browsers work."  (More information on "referers" is available here.)

Later, the post promised, "Nevertheless, we are committed to ensuring that even the inadvertent passing of UIDs is prevented and all applications are in compliance with our policy."

ANDROID MARKET REACHES 1,00,000 APPS ! A MILESTONE

So far, Google hasn't celebrated with any public parties or press conferences.  Not even with a short press release or tiny blog post.  This morning, Google just used a Twitter account to announce the fact that the Android Market's now populated by 100,000 apps.

You can see the seven-word tweet for yourself below.  It was sent from a somewhat out-of-the-way account the Android team uses to communicate with developers.

Obviously, this is a significant moment in Android's history.  The milestone indicates that lots of consumers and developers have come to embrace Android, which is about all Google's asked of its free platform so far.

What's more - although this milestone is plenty important on its own - Google's quiet announcement could be a way of hinting that even greater achievements are on the way, considering that the Gingerbread version of Android seems ready to be released.

Of course, if anyone wants to conduct a comparison (and we know some of you will), one unofficial count puts the number of apps available in Apple's App Store in the neighborhood of 280,000.  So Google isn't king of the mobile market in this respect just yet.

Still, it looks like Google's making sure Apple doesn't run away with the lead.
