Much ado about face­book, plenty of twit­ter clients reviewed: it’s been a busy week in social media land — again!

Wel­come to the weekly blog round-up — a lot has hap­pened dur­ing the last seven days. Every­body was talk­ing about Google Wave, and Loic Le Meur announced that Seesmic will soon release a browser-based ver­sion of their client.

The last week was as all about Google Wave: will the new Open Source app rev­o­lu­tion­ize the way we com­mu­ni­cate online? Read last week’s break­ing news on datadirt’s weekly round-up of the blogosphere.

From gen­der dif­fer­ences to sud­den twit­ter deaths the last week was a joyride of emo­tions — blog­ging busi­ness as usual.

There’s always hope — despite the eco­nomic cri­sis, there are plenty of oppor­tu­ni­ties for cre­ative entre­pre­neurs; you don’t nec­es­sar­ily have to ty and sell your Digg account, like one des­per­ate web­de­signer did.

Twit­ter is expe­ri­enc­ing secu­rity issues, the blo­gos­phere finally gets to know the 3 rules of the inter­net and the new year inevitably takes its course — wel­come to the sec­ond weekly round-up of 2009.

Look­ing back on the old year while look­ing for­ward to the new one brings us to which spot exactly? Right, the present times.

Monty Python launches their own Youtube chan­nel, Face­book is try­ing to bring some cus­tomers to its mar­ket­place and Seth is remind­ing blog­gers of the fact that trust is vital to any sus­tain­able relationship.

MTV bleeps out the names of file trad­ing net­works in funny songs, Burda media doesn’t know how to mon­e­tize the web. Wel­come to datadirt’s first weekly Blo­gis­tan round-up!
