Iphone
Since 6 march , already 100.000 downloads were registred of the iPhone Software Developer Program.

With this software, developers can create an application for the Iphone or the iPod Touch. Before, this was only possible when hacking the system. Which was off course illegal.

Senior Vice President of Apple Marketing says : " The reaction on the SDK is amazing, already more than 100.000 dowloads in just 4 days !" Also 1 million people did watch the launch video on apple.com

The applications can, when approved by Apple off course, be downloaded in the App Store. The developer stipulates the prices and preserves 70 per cent of the turn over. The remaining 30 per cent charges Apple for the distribution.

Nice move from Apple I think. Now everybody can make its own application, and make money of it. I bet , within a month or so, there will be a top 10 list of coolest applications.
Also, the big companies will soon have there own coolest, fancy, needy application.

Socialnetworks
The graph mentioned recently published in "Le Monde" gives an overview of the popular social networking Internet sites by continent. Bebo in Europe would be the most popular social networking Internet site ( I have my doubts on this one ). Netlog, which operates from Belgium, already stands on the fifth place in Europe !


Talking about networks. I found this website with new visualisations of networks.
Some are already known, but there are some new ones too !
