social media

Want more Twitter followers? Researchers actually sat down to figure out what it takes (How sad is that?)

I've said it over a thousand times - Watch what you post on social media! Amy McClenathan posted on sentence on Facebook and it changed her life forever.

When you meet someone new or finally get a date with the person you've been after, have you ever had the urge to "Stalk" them on social media? You know, to find out a little more information about them, their friends, family, etc. Think it's kinda stalker-ish, even creepy? You're not alone according to a new survey.

If you didn't think we have advanced too far as a society before this, you should now. The technological revolution has made its way to the Catholic church, as Pope Benedict XVI is now on Twitter. That's right, the freaking Pope is on Twitter!

We applaud these efforts to ensure our privacy, and we think it should be taken even further. Facebook should not only make sure that our most sensitive information isn't exposed to the general public, but they should also ask us if we want to “opt out” of the most annoying causes of social networking headaches that have spread like some virtual flesh eating bacteria that cannot be stopped.
