Digg has recently added a new type of advertising to their pages. This is the methodology CPM (payment per thousand impressions) ads where models are quite striking.

Usually we find the famous poster “You are the 10000th Visitor”, which has generated a rare feeling in users, most of whom feel that the audience for the site has enough neurons to avoid falling into this trap.
Still from Digg has not responded but it is surely have found a good way to generate revenue with these ads only by the number of pages viewed with the site, but very few click on the advertising. But, truly striking to see such ads in a place where most users have a long way on the internet.

This week, Facebook is rolling out Facebook Chat, a new way for users to communicate with their friends in real-time. Facebook will show users which of their friends are online when they are, so that they do not need to create or maintain a separate buddy list. Users also do not have to worry about any additional installation or set up. Facebook Chat works directly in the browser. Just as other features on Facebook have allowed friends to communicate more efficiently than before, we hope Facebook Chat will make it easier to connect instantly.

Facebook is tweaking the privacy settings on its popular online hangout to let users exert greater control over which of their friends are allowed to see personal details they post.

The Palo Alto-based company said it would add features Tuesday night that will give its 67 million active users the option of selecting individual users who can or can’t access certain parts of their pages.

For example, someone who uploads a racy batch of photos or lists his cell phone number or personal e-mail address on his Facebook page can now bar some people on list of friends from seeing any of that information.

Previously, the only ways to block people from seeing specific content was to deny their friend requests outright or to create a limited profile. The second solution had the downside of blocking entire groups of people from a wide swath of content.

Facebook announced the new features Tuesday as it tries to combat criticism that it doesn’t give users enough control over what posted information their friends see.

The company also is stepping up efforts to portray itself as privacy-conscious after many users rebelled over a marketing tool called “Beacon” that tracked purchases Facebook members made on other Web sites and sent alerts to their Facebook friends about the transactions.

Facebook now allows users to turn off Beacon. The new privacy features announced Tuesday don’t extend to Beacon, however, so users who opt into that program still can’t specify which friends receive Beacon alerts.

Facebook also demonstrated a new instant messaging function Tuesday that lets Facebook friends chat with one another and is scheduled to launch in coming weeks.
