It is not that Facebook has m?s number of users is that people spend so much time connected to this social network that ends up leaving or decrease the time in the gym or sports. Same thing happens with Twitter . Thus surfers to Sun and shade end up increasing their weight.Experts at the University of North Ireland ?lster discussed the conduct of 350 students. J?venes that said c?mo were its online activities. The question is desprendi? the mayor?a spent at least one hour to the connected d?a.

But there are always buts, experts discovered that Facebook and Twitter reduc?an while students used to do sports. I.e., many preferred to spend part of their time in the virtual world and leave the real. Adem?s the fan?ticos of social networks were less likely to group sports.

"Our study suggests that the activity f?sica podr?a be one of these activities", detall? in a press release from the University of ?lster the author l?der of the study, Dr. Wendy Cousins, psic?loga of the University.

Emprendedores en México, con ambiciones del tamaño de Facebook - Terra Argentina
Por Gabriel Stargardter CIUDAD DE MEXICO (Reuters) - En el hall plagado de mosquitos de un edificio en el centro de Ciudad de M?xico, cientos de aspirantes a convertirse en el pr?ximo Mark Zuckerberg se re?nen para crear una nueva industria en el gigante de Am?rica Latina, cada uno con una aplicaci?n. "?Hola, geeks!", salud? un orador estadounidense, usando una palabra que identifica a los amantes de la tecnolog?a ante un p?blico de empresarios especializados en una "hackhaton" de 48 horas, realizada recientemente y presentada como un concurso de desarrollo de aplicaciones. Pese a su cercan?a con Estados Unidos, M?xico entra relativamente tarde a la fiesta de nuevos emprendedores en el negocio de Internet. Con s?lo unas cuantas compa??as en operaci?n, el pa?s est? muy rezagado respecto a los l?deres regionales Chile, Argentina y Brasil, donde los subsidios gubernamentales alimentan una mayor din?mica local. Pero con un inmenso mercado dom?stico, la creciente conectividad, una econom?a estable y en expansi?n y un nuevo gobierno reformista que asumir? en diciembre, eso podr?a estar a punto de cambiar. "Hay una gran oportunidad puesta sobre la mesa", dijo Doug Renert, un inversionista estadounidense que estuvo como orador invitado. "Hay mucho dinero aqu?", agreg? el representante de TandemCap, un fondo para estimular emprendimientos en el sector de telefon?a m?vil que tiene su sede cerca de Silicon Valley. C?sar Salazar, socio ejecutivo de Mexican.VC, una firma mexicana de capital de riesgo para emprendimientos que fue recientemente adquirida por el fondo estadounidense 500 Startups, estim? que "dentro de 10 a?os (puede que la industria) represente 50,000 a 70,000 millones de d?lares". Los empresarios dijeron que antes era dif?cil conseguir financiamiento, pero que ahora hay incubadoras que financian a las nuevas firmas, adem?s de un grupo de fondos de capital de riesgo y un fondo estatal de investigaci?n de reciente creaci?n de 23 millones de d?lares. Y entre los j?venes que bland?an sus iPad en la "hackhaton", que ten?an 48 horas para desarrollar una aplicaci?n m?vil que lidie con los problemas de contaminaci?n, tr?fico y transporte p?blico de Ciudad de M?xico, el ?nimo era decididamente optimista. "El timing es bueno y ya tenemos el ecosistema", dijo Jos? G?lvez, de 37 a?os, quien gan? recientemente una beca de 70,000 d?lares de Wayra, un proyecto de la empresa Telef?nica, para financiar su emprendimiento Venddo.com, que conecta a compradores y vendedores en redes sociales. MEXICO.COM El presidente electo de M?xico, Enrique Pe?a Nieto, dijo recientemente a l?deres empresariales que quer?a darle un impulso a la conectividad mexicana y "reducir la brecha digital" entre M?xico y sus vecinos de la regi?n. "Nuestro pa?s apenas presenta 31 usuarios de Internet de 100, mientras que Chile tiene 45 y Estados Unidos tiene 74", indic?. Aun as?, el uso de internet en M?xico, la segunda mayor econom?a de Am?rica Latina, creci? un 14 por ciento el a?o pasado. Casi 40 millones de personas est?n conectadas ahora, muchas de ellas a trav?s sus tel?fonos celulares. Adem?s, M?xico alberga la mayor concentraci?n del mundo de hispanoparlantes, lo que lo convierte en la puerta de entrada para empresarios que quieren conquistar al mercado de habla castellana. Los millones de potenciales clientes latinos que viven a lo largo de su frontera con Estados Unidos aumentan el incentivo. La estimaci?n oficial de crecimiento de la econom?a mexicana es de 3.5 por ciento este a?o, mientras que un sondeo de Reuters a analistas lo calcul? en un 3.85 por ciento. Brasil, en comparaci?n, espera un crecimiento de un 2 por ciento, aunque un sondeo de analistas realizado por su banco central ve un 1.6 por ciento. Adicionalmente, la joven industria de los emprendedores de Internet en M?xico espera el impulso del nuevo Gobierno reformista. Sin embargo, persisten los obst?culos principales. Los bancos mexicanos est?n atrasados en la incorporaci?n de los ?ltimos procesos para desarrollar el comercio electr?nico y pocos mexicanos hacen compras por internet. Otros factores a considerar son la burocracia y la corrupci?n. "Va a pasar un tiempo antes de que vean una gran ola de inversionistas, pero eso le da oportunidades a aquellos que quieren ser aventureros y que tienen pensamiento vanguardista", dijo Renert. Algunos de los asistentes al evento, uno de los cuatro celebrados esa noche en la capital mexicana, sue?an con seguir los pasos de Zuckerberg, el multimillonario presidente ejecutivo y fundador de Facebook. "Es bueno ver emprendedores como 'rock stars'", dijo Patricio Buenrostro-Gilhuys, de 34 a?os, presidente ejecutivo de Gameversum.com, sitio web de dise?o de videojuegos. "Pero no se puede (hacer) 'copy and paste' (a) Silicon Valley", agreg?. (Reporte de Gabriel Stargardter; Editado en espa?ol por Juana Casas y Silene Ram?rez)

Of course, there is need to consider that a person can have multiple accounts or that there are accounts of institutions or pets, for example. So from the same p?gina of Facebook warns that the c?lculo is approximate.

Adem?s, should be noted that Facebook has 93% of penetraci?n in our society (i.e., between those who use the internet in the pa?s), being the preferred - not is a mystery - across Linkedin and Twitter.
These data were collected by comScore in June 2012 and only midi? when network connections were made from home or work. In the age of the visitors that are us? to the elaboraci?n of the work is over the age of 15 onwards a?os.
With these n?meros, what is demonstrated is that Facebook has come to stay, and every time est? m?s omnipresent in our lives.
Always at hand
This social network was gradually gaining space in the customs of the Mendoza. So much that today a company when it comes to advertising continues to create a p?gina or a user profile to promote your service or product.
The same applies when we got on a collective. It is f?cil observing many people who stare at your cell phone and that from time to time outlines a smile, possibly product of a witty post of one of his friends.
The hours that we dedicate to the stellar creaci?n Mark Zuckerberg has increased with the passing of the a?os. The Mendoza Alexandra Sananes (24) reflej? this story from his own experience: "Removed the time to other activities." "To the concentraci?n mainly", admiti?, adding that where m?s uses is in the workplace and labor issues. But tambi?n reconoci? that "use it as a means of direct m?s contact with friends, as informaci?n on events and to feed my musical tastes".
For its part, Facundo Piazza (28), fot?grafo and Bachelor of Comunicaci?n, opin? the Facebook is a great commercial ally. "The face addicts consume that are ah?, is like my photo course s?per-turbo-diesel," said in a funny tone but revealing a truth.
Claudia Cabello (27) gave their reasons and their porqu?s ensuring that all est?n in the famous network friends and that this is one of the excuses to spend your time at the computer. "The abr? in ?poca of faculty because needed it to do group work." "Despu?s until the d?a of today and that use it m?s that nothing interesting things that are in the dise?o and the programaci?n", explic?.
Anyway, Claudia agreg? that "there are people who can't stop posting permanently." "I'm still doing my things: gym, life with friends, outdoors and dem?s".
Although the consulted three claimed that can't imagine life without Facebook, was Facundo which gave a possible alternative from your daily activity, to quit. "In the future the cerrar?a when you have all the contacts you need secured, many fot?grafos or galer?as of art." "Tambi?n If there is a means of difusi?n for my laburo with good p?blico such as Flikr", describi?.
For those who work with advertising on Facebook is ?til to mention the words of Andr?s Gonz?lez, web developer of leap, a company specializing in eCommerce and Social Media Marketing, who asegur? who prefer to promote their products by these networks before investing in traditional advertising from its place.
"To work with social networks you must take into account two things." First that one must not speak s?lo of oneself, because fans need something to serve them. Why you must invest time in quality content for a target p?blico. "Then comes the commercial cuesti?n and positioning", explic? with expert voice.

Pain on both sides of the mountain range invadi? when yesterday was conoci? the death of 6 a?os of the Argentine model and the Chilean actor ni?a. The message of the family.
