Article #3: Social Networking Online, in Hebrew

Link to Article

This article is about the fact that Facebook will soon allow for people to search in Hebrew rather than transliterate a friend’s name into English. The article also lists basic statistics (which are always important):

• Israel network doubled in membership to 152K between October and November.
• Israeli users have not been able to create purely Hebrew-language profiles (musing: I wonder if this has prevented adoption amongst a certain class of citizens that do not speak any English)

Short and sweet, that’s how I like my tidbits of information : ) Reminds me of something I read in a paper yesterday about CMC and usenet groups
