The New Facebook Listen Button

Categories: General

Doesn’t it seem like Facebook is always evolving? It takes a few steps forward and a step or two back. Take the new Timeline for example. Many have said it’s reminiscent of the old Myspace layouts – and many are opposed to the changes. Personally, I don’t think the timeline is much like Myspace at … Continue reading

Social Media in the Classroom

Categories: General

When I was in high school, I remember taking a computer class or two. Actually, I even took some computer classes as early as elementary school. We learned the basis of using a computer and played Oregon Trail, but I kind of wonder what it’s like in classrooms today. Back then, most of us didn’t … Continue reading

Have you heard all the buzz about Madonna’s new album? Of course you have; you don’t live under a rock. What am I thinking?

If you can’t get by without updating your Twitter status and checking Facebook for the latest news, a career in this field might be just what you need to get yourself started on the right foot.

I find social media to be terribly interesting. The most interesting thing about it (to me) is that it forces you to create an online version of yourself. So, what you end up with is usually what you want to be more than what you really are. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, though. Just … Continue reading

With all the news about the fate of that Rutgers student (the one who outed his fellow classmate; a prank that resulted in the victim taking his life), it’s nice to hear about people using social media for good (instead of evil). Seriously; enough with the bullying, trash talking and general meanness. Social media can … Continue reading

According to a Pew Internet & American Life Project survey, men and women don’t social network the same way. Women are much more protective about their data than men. According to this study, women are much more likely to make their profiles completely private, but it’s kind of an all or nothing thing. If women … Continue reading

In the past year or so, we’ve been seeing more involvement between television and social media; there are more actors tweeting and shows with Facebook pages than ever before. So, why should one of the biggest television events of the year be any different? This year, the Academy Awards has embraced social media with open … Continue reading

I know; I tend to go on a little bit about Pinterest. Not only do I have a general social media addiction, but I also have a Pinterest addiction. It’s been confirmed. The support group is on its way. So, I always like to hear about others who are getting involved in this social networking … Continue reading

Even before the Internet, kids bullying other kids at school was a big problem. But these days, kids have it a little harder. Not only do they stand the chance of being bullied away from home, but they can also fall victim to cyber bullying – which can reach them anywhere they go. In 2005, … Continue reading

How do you watch your favorite programs? Do you do it the old fashioned way on the old boob tube? That’s how I watch most television, but I definitely like to catch up with missed shows on the Internet. I love that we can do that now. Also, you should know, whenever “Always Sunny in … Continue reading

Google Plus has emerged – and it just might have enough force to give Facebook some competition. In a way, it is surprising that Google took so long to release a social network, but it’s here now. For anyone looking to market his or herself (for employment or just plain old networking), there are a … Continue reading

With more than 800 million active users on Facebook (according to their data), you can’t deny that social networking is a force to be reckoned with. People are logging in to post updates about their lives and to see what you’ve posted. But of the over 800 million people who are using social networks, a … Continue reading

It doesn’t matter who you are, reputation is important. I think the first time we learn this rule is probably in high school. That’s when we really first get gossipy and feel the need to brand each other as one thing or another. You might have a reputation for being the smartest kid in class … Continue reading

If you’re not on Google+ yet, you might start thinking about it soon. At least that’s what the Internet juggernaut is hoping by enticing the masses with cute and funny television ads. You might think that’s a lame strategy, but it sure has worked for Chrome. I, for one, jumped on the Chrome bandwagon as … Continue reading
